Nazzdack , Thanks, I will look at the 10 year note.

The 30 year US bond trends nicely at times. For that reason and because it has less volatility than the E-minis, I have tried to day trade ZB. As well as having a fairly wide bid/ask spread, there seems to be a problem in that the bid and the ask can move several ticks away from the last...

psytrade - Thanks for reference. I am going to buy the book.

Are there any good sources to help learn how to day trade US bonds; chat rooms, books, courses?

There are so many people who consider themselves financial experts. We see them on CNBC and elsewhere so full of themselves. A few of them, like Peter Schiff, are truly knowledgeable. Others don’t know the time of day. The YouTube broadcast below is very interesting. Copy and paste...

Many people are presented on CNBC and otherwise as experts in financial matters. Watch the attached YouTube broadcast to see how right Peter Schiff was and how wrong other so-called experts were. Copy & paste into your browser...

Thanks for the great replies. Btw, the 3-10-16 simple moving average MACD seems to be a useful timing indicator.

I read a thread last night that I have been unable to find again. There was a comment that the person still uses a moving average crossover from Linda Rascke's books. The crossover was used to scalp the eminis. Would someone please tell me what the moving averages are and whether they are...

My experience is with day trading. I think that most people fail because of the inherent difficulty of day trading. Day trading is so difficult because the market is never the same from day to day or even throughout the day. If the market remained the same, most people could devise a strategy...

The S & P index (and maybe all indexes) clearly recognizes certain price levels. The index may trade up to a price level that has acted as resistance before. The index usually pays attention to that price level by consolidating, rejecting or retracing to that level after passing through that...

I would like to receive live data for the S & P 500 cash index that is not delayed? Both eSignal and DTN are delayed for 15 seconds. I cannot afford the cost of a Bloomberg terminal or the S & P program and computer link to calculate the index myself. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A trader who had been trading the eminis for many years and who was not making money recently posted a request for advice. There were 30+ pages of replies. While I did not read all the replies, I did not see any replies referring the trader to a signal chat room. Does that mean that out of...

Your trading situation and mine are similar. We both use Ensign with range bar charts and the volatility study stop. I have traded ER in the past but I have gone back to ES. I have been trading for years. I still am using the simulator on NinjaTrader rather than trading real money. I am...

Please excuse my ignorance but is CL Colgate-Palmolive Co.?

eSignal updates every 15 seconds which should be fast enough. However, it seems to me that the futures generally lead the cash. Intutively, it seems it should be the cash that leads. I think the cash data originates with the S&P corporation. I think I will contact them. Thanks

I like to use the S&P cash (symbol $SPX) to trade the S&P futures (symbol ES #F) because of the clarity of the cash. I am aware of the price differences between the cash and the futures due, in part, to the premium. I also am aware that very large traders can move the price levels of both the...

There seem to be quite a number ogf Hang Seng indices. Would you please tell me exactly which one you trade? I use eSignal data feed if you happen to know the symbol. Thanks.

Does anyone know a source for free or relatively inexpensive end of day market profile POC, VAH and VAL for ER2? I would like numbers from a licensed provider, not numbers from systems providers.
