I hope there is 1 min or less chart too. After all, thanks for your recommendation.

Thanks for your valuable advice. :) I'm a manual trader, so I am unable to do some of them. But a market with great volatility, smoother and bigger intraday trend should suit my need. What's more, it has to be liquid. One question: why do you need to run different systems on all possible...

Should I queue for execution? My approach is to get into trade before news announcement or breakout. I am not in a hurry to get into the trade. I tried for several times in IB Ideal and IdealPro. I queued at the "best bid + 1 tick" and waited for someone to fill my orders, but no one...

Yes, for years. However I strictly limited myself to particular market in the past. I would like to try out new markets, to diversify risks and find more trading opportunities. I have never traded any commodity market. I am a technical trader. I think the same technique should apply to...

Thanks for your suggestion. Voliatility is nice. I like it. If oil is not as crazy as HSI or DAX (they move very quick), it should be fine.

There are many oil contracts, namely Light Crude Oil, miNY light crude, brent crude oil. Do you know what are their differences (in terms of trading, not nominal differences)? Why do you prefer QM instead of others? How about Gold and Silver etc.?

In your own opinion: 1) what commodity market give good volatility and good liquidlity, but smooth one-way trendiness at the same time (ie not swinging up and down most of the time)? 2) what commodity market do you trade? And why do you trade them? Just list the conditions/situations or...

Cheese is not responding. :(

Both stocks and futures. I'm thinking about KOSPI options too, but I treat this like futures rather than options, and I'm not using options strategies to trade them.

Any market you could think of. now I am considering the following markets: - NIKKEI I think trading at SGX is better than in the Japanese market and CME market. - KOSPI 200 Looks very promising. This one has intraday limits. - HSI - DAX Thin market but very volatile - Currency...

I have watched the options market for a few days. It is great. The liquidity is very good, not just the ATM ones. What's the point of daytrading futures, if options can be as good as futures? What you need to do is to pick a right option (eg not choosing too deep ITM or OTM options) and go...

Yes, I'm asking what I should do if I have a profitable position that go towards beyond the limit. Should I stop-gain before the limit, or should I trade the limit gap as well? Thanks for your advice. Very helpful for a newbie to deal with a intraday limits. Let me sum up what you...

No IB rep responds. What's up? :( Is it so difficult to answer?

Yes, I think so. It should be just the same as other currency futures.

Do you use marketable limit orders? Or are you a person who wait for execution or trade for liquidity rebates?

Does anyone know where I can watch free intraday futures and/or commodity charts, so I can investigate further?

The reason is it may not be the truth. The reality is rather a mix. Emini and big S&P has the same underlying. If there is difference between the two, arbitrage will bring the overvalued instrument down and the undervalued one up. I think no index always lead or lag another. Sometimes one...

But picking a good market is never mant to be a shortcut, buddy. :D You still need to know how to grasp them.

1-tick spread is amazing. That's no many points to trade futures. Its required margin is very large. If I daytrade options, the opportunity cost is lower and the reward is higher relatively. Is it still 1-tick even for ATM and OTM options?
