Futures are heading south tonight from Pres Obama news. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/born-kenya-obamas-literary-agent-misidentified-birthplace-1991/story?id=16372566#.T7WQcVvDVoY

I completely disagree. What I can do on a daily basis with a $50,000 futures account is way more efficient than what I could ever do in a stocks account with $50,000. What I can do with a $200,000 futures account deleveraged is even more efficient than what I can do with an equities trading...

Have you ever tried to see what your system would look like with Renko candlesticks? I even have a Renko chart with a Smoothed Heiken Ashi applied, I use this for CL and DAX.

I prefer "non-time" based candlesticks and Renko charts help to smooth out price based indicators since there is less price noise. Here is the basics on Renko candlesticks; http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/renkochart.asp#axzz1uiLNPABB

There is nothing wrong with Continual Process Improvement for trading systems. Plan --> Test --> Execute --> Measure --> Adjust Repeat.

I use Jurik VEL or a Modified Squeeze Indicator that has a Gaussian filter for momentum and cycle detection. I use modified versions of ATR bands for trend direction all on Renko charts.

Futures with 60/40 rule is the best by far. There is no way I can make the money in stocks like I do in CL futures, and with the low amount of capital needed.

If you were trend following CL or TF on Friday it does not get any better. The follow through after trend kick back entries was very strong. Between the two contracts, I had 11 trend following trades Friday and only one was a small loss of 10 ticks in the CL. I never trade the NQ or YM but...

I never trade off DOM fixation since I want more than two to three ticks per trade. hahahahaha! I see you like rap, true ball'rs rap about reality; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ByIPNNO-Fw :cool:

My order; 1) CL 2) FDAX 3) TF 4) Euro If you want a simple grinder trade the NG.

Patient base hits and some doubles here and there, this makes the game so relaxing for me.

That is funny! ES is a good market to learn but not the best market to stay in once profitable, for the retailers.

I did 4.2 pts in TF today from 3 trades following trending moves, and my counter trend trade was selling 6B last night which I am still holding partial position. Trading the ES can be very inefficient at times so I just stay away most days.

TF responds to $TICK buy/sell program activity perfectly which is good. I tend to be a trend follower so the TF is rock solid as it develops into intraday trends.

The smoothed Heiken Ashi I use in Ninjatrader 7 are my own development. I have one version with sine weighted MA's and the other uses T3's for the smoothing. I find the TF offers more bang for the buck than ES or NQ and I never trade YM.

I like trading the TF myself over ES. Your charts look great and I do use some heiken ashi charts as well. What charting are you using? Can you show a TF chart with your chart arrangement, that would be great. TIA!

I have been trading futures contracts in energy markets for over 5 years and I do watch for patterns in the NG. Contracts that are very directional leading up to rollover can have some good covering moves through rollover. I was looking for some of that effect when I started this trade and the...

Went flat last week in May contract with final profit taken at 2.158 since I needed to close out May positions. I do feel overly short May contract helped with pop into end of last week through rollover. I will try to resume this trade in the June contract if we can trade back to 2.00 pricing...

I use Ninjatrader7 charts and Zenfire feed with no problems running volume charts. I use Renko charts for my HT market track and use some other chart styles like volume charts for very low time frame work. I dont have volume chart issues with Ninjatrader7 with two different feeds from testing.
