    Futures market opening bracket trades

    SG66 - Yes I forgot to post todays trades. The ES trade was short account only for me and out by 09:37 est with 1.2%. The EC trade If I remember right had some long account contracts stop out, and the short account made the hit for a trade profit of 1.3% in about 11 minutes. For the day...

    I have been using the NinjaTrader platform with TT feed through VCap Futures for a few days, and I am in the process of moving accounts over to them from Transact. I wanted a great data feed with an easy to use platform for all my brackets trades that I do - Trademaven was just not working for...

    They were able to get close enough to what I was doing with Transact, and for me I need the confidence in the platform and feed so I am very pleased. I sent you a pm about the details.

    Very poor service at Trademaven

    I used NinjaTrader today with TT feed..............DONE! I just can't use Trademaven ever again for trading - I feel the platform has become unstable from all the bizarre various events I have seen from myself and others that I trade with.

    Futures market opening bracket trades

    One day in April had 4 pivot moves within my brackets and the 5th price move cleaned me up to get 1.2% - that was the longest trade I was in for the year. I have had a few days that I took breakeven or close when the market was not giving me any movement right away. For the year I have...

    That is correct from what I know. I was still having problems with the Transact/TM set-up also, so I bailed. My TM kept crashing at different times of the day, and that was not something I was willing to deal with any longer.

    Futures market opening bracket trades

    7 ticks first in to last out with the current stacks that I use to scale in and scale out. There is another part of this strategy that I have to handle the choppy opens that get me to 1% or better also - that situation is built into the mechanics of the trade for when needed. :)

    Do you trade index futures at the open?

    Traded the open and I was done by 09:37 est for the ES and the EC. Opens give good price "reaction" points to bracket trade from and take advantage of the imbalances that can be magnified at the open.

    I know that, but TM can still be used with Transact feed as that is my current set-up. In my office we had the Transact/TM platforms crash and the PFG/TM platforms crash. This is why I will be using a NinjaTrader platform with TT feed tomorrow through Paul at VCap Futures. My opening...

    If you had to do it all over again....

    I would start all over with ONLY fully mechanical trade ideas/systems development. I would have NEVER ordered any charts, indicators, or trade systems packages.....UUGH! :D I would start off "clean" and free of all the DIVERSIONS! :cool:
