========================== ========================== ========================== With all your stupid posts, I'm surprised anyone would even respond to you. Get a life! Whamo

No Plumber, just believe in first impressions.

I am also looking into changing my future's broker. I emailed both AdvancedFutures and eLocal (among others). AdvancedFutures response was a 1 sentence response for a 2 part question that didn't get fully answered. My first impression w/ them was abrupt and not enticing at all. If they can't...

It looks like it's $5.98 per round turn for all volume levels. Whamo

I was also looking into going with eLocal. Who is their clearing firm? I noticed that they charge an extra $1.50 per contract if you use their execution desk, does this still apply if you're having issues w/ J-Trader and can't execute the trade yourself? TIA Whamo

Excellent Job Huios!!

I think 10 ES points are attainable so don't think everyone on this board thinks your full of it. I currently trade a system that produces 10 to 30 points on the NQ per day; although I am still working on not giving some of that back each day. :eek: Once the ranges open back up I think I can get...

Stephen, Thank you for your response. One thing that I've learned while reading up on TradeStation Securities is that you seem to respond to your customers and ask for user feedback. This is something that more technology companies need to learn how to do. From a strategy testing and...

ADX_Trader, ...and then some.

ADX_Trader; 4 point intial stop has been working good. Break of 15 EMA as a trailing stop. Originally had it at a 4 point trailing stop but it was too close. Whamo

ADX_Trader, I'm day trading the NQ Emini's. The 1-min for me gave too many quick / false signals and I didn't have the nerve to set a large stop on the 5-min. Plus when the 5 was wrong it was painfully slow to get me out of the trade and sometimes put me back into a position that was soon...

I am looking into using TradeStation for backtesting but have read that there were issues w/ their continous S&P Emini data. Does anyone know if the data integrity issue pertains to the NQ continous contract as well? If so, what is your work around? TIA Whamo

ADX_Trader, What timeframe do you use to trigger your entries on? 2-min chart was the magic one for me. Still get whipsawed once in a while though but I try to stick to the mornings only for the stronger trends. Whamo

Aphie, I'm not part of the angry group but I have joined the skeptical bunch on this board. See, Huios has been working hard to make a living out of this market (like I am) and you just post a chart showing were an "easy" 2 points could have been made. There are no easy points in this...

Correct me if my facts are wrong, but the chart you posted of your hero (Pacman) eating up the points was that of the S&P Emini. Put your money were your mouth is and quit posting garbage advice. Whamo

Aphie, You're just too much. BTW, I don't think there is ever an easy 2 points. It amazes me that someone who hasn't even traded real-time gives out advice so easily. You are a danger to any and all newbies that might read your posts... Whamo

Profitseer, I'm paying almost twice what you're paying for commission because I like the platform and reliability. When I was scalping for small amounts I couldn't do much better than break even. Now I'm making sure to take a profit quick on 1/2 and letting the rest ride. From day one I've...

Aphie, Why are you "paper" trading w/ 10 contracts when you will only be real trading w/ $5k? You're much better off trading exactly like you will trade w/ real money. Whamo

Profitseer, I fully agree w/ you that it's a psycho Band-Aid, the primary reason for me to take 4 points is that I've had too many trades go a few points and then come back down to break even or just a very small gain or loss. If I take the 4 points on just 1 contract it will be a positive...

I am currently trading the NQ's w/ 2 contracts and exiting 1 contract at +4 points and letting the other contract ride. Initial stop is 4 points below entry which is moved up to + 1/2 point (to cover commission) once the +4 point contract is exited and then it's a 4 point trailing stop from...
