Hi mgrund, have you tried CL already ? It moves ALOT, it has enough volume ... and somehow it is just fun trading it, never boring.

Hi, this does not make alot of sense in my oppinion. If you trade only long you have the chance of the price spiking up in your direction. But you have also the risk of a black swan against you. If you trade both long and short, you have the chance to catch both an up or down spike, but...

Hi TRO, just a question regarding one of your rules ... 1) To trade like a RAT is to ALWAYS trade in ONE DIRECTION - either LONG or SHORT. Once you pick a "team", you can't switch. Why do you think this is so important, to just trade in one direction ? I think this can make some...

@bhardy307 Contract size of CL is 1.000 barrels WTI. So at the current price the value of one CL contract is about 110.000 $.

I usually dont write alot here on ET ... I just can confirm what cornixforex already said about NoDoji. She is the real deal. She collects her ticks, day in, day out. But only because she can do it, this does not mean everybody can do it. Not everybody can be CEO of IBM. Not everybody can win...

Somehow I have problems with the PMs, so I come here because I am pretty sure NoDoji will show up here once in a while .... so: I just want say THANKS, NoDoji :)

Damnit, what is this ? I was thinking it is just me, or maybe a problem with my broker ... but I see that I am not the only one. Thats some scary shit, it has probably something to do with the crisis in Europe and the S&P downgrades from last Friday. Keep me updated guys, if you get some news...

gmst, CL is very liquid (I mean, its oil, lol), but for very shortterm scalping 10 contracts is sometimes already to much. 6E (EUR/USD futures) would be an option, but I think sooner or later I will make the transition to EUREX futures. You can move serious size in FESX and FGBL, and the...

@ Sculptor: LOL @ gmst: Your long term goal is something I would also like to reach, but with my current main instrument (CL) I cannot do this (with my style of trading). If you want to reach such a monthly profit with very short term trading, you need a very liquid instrument, so you can...

Hi everybody, right now I feel that I start getting to greedy. I was mostly trading CL in the last couple of months, but if I want to make more, I need to focus on a market in which I can move more size. But then again I think if I should not just continue what I do now and be satisfied...

Hi LL, wish you the best of luck for your trading. I like that you want to keep it simple, thats a good first step. Will your trades be on a SIM account or real ? How many cars you are going to trade ?

Instynct is doing a great job in this journal for almost one year already. I remember one of his early posts, he said something like he considers daily P&L just as noise, weekly results are much more relevant. So days like this are just a part of the job. Get yourself a nice drink tonight...

Hi, I was also looking for a good mobile solution, see here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=221377 I have looked at a lot of stuff now, tried several platforms and remote systems with iphone and ipad ... never really liked it, for me this is only an emergency...

Hello, in Ninja Trader you have the digital voice sounds for confirmation of filled orders, cancellations ... Is there a way to replace this standard sounds with my own sound effects ? In the options I can only find checkboxes to activate/ deactivate, but not to change the sound file ...

Gotta love the crude oil ... only cl can do this... and maybe ng :p Hope most of you caught some piece of this crazy move. Out for a drink or 2 ...:D

Hi everybody, thanks alot for the input, good info here.

Hey Coudy, thanks for the info. Are you satisfied with the remote option ? Is this a good solution ?

So ToS is now part of TDA ? When did that happen :p If I want to trade futures with them, would it be better to open an account with TDA or directly with ToS (they have their own homepage ...) ? What about IBs iTWS or Ninjatrader ? Another option would be to access my trading PC with...

Hi atticus, when travelling I dont do those little scalps, I go more for the intraday swings, so if I would have at least a streaming chart with 30 minute -bars/ candles I would be happy. Do those platforms support this ? Thx !

Hi j_medved, thanks for the input but isnt the iStockManager only for trading stocks and options ? I trade only futures, no stocks.
