    That was some range for a change

    The selling at about 10:30am-11am when there was huge volume on the ES, excellent high probability trade for going long. I was watching the RUT and it barely budged, yet the SP nosedives. Going long was good for at least 3-4 points.

    IB or Cybertrader for E Minis?

    Another big plus for IB is its breadth of products. I don't believe any other broker has as many tradeable products at such great prices. I've been watching the DAX, DJSTOXX, Hang Seng and Nikkei. It's just great that I can choose a trading schedule around my daily schedule. Also...

    Day trading Future for a living ES YM NQ

    If you open an account with IB, you can do both. IB touts their ECN-like IDEALPRO for forex trading. The fact that they route to multiple brokers give them tight spreads. But a number of people here have had problems with execution. Do a search. Currency futures trade on Globex, extremely...

    Trader Monthly magazine ?

    Traders Monthly is more gossipy journalism so you won't learn a great deal about trading but the magazine has its merits. Traders work as hard or harder than most people, they should be allowed a little indulgence once in a while.

    Day trading Future for a living ES YM NQ

    I'm daytrading the futures. Mainly the er2 and eur/usd. I've been profitable, mainly due to very selective entry points and quick exits using trailing stops. I'm willing to give up the profit but not willing to go negative once I've gotten 4-5 ticks in the black. I've noticed that er2 is...

    strategy to trade future.

    charlie, I'm surprised the ET squad hasn't come out to debunk you by now. They must be getting old and senile. Stuff like - how do we know it's not simulated account? - admit it, you're really Franz. - it's BS, we'll need to see stamped, audited trade confirmations.

    strategy to trade future.

    It's pretty good but way too much risk. If you can afford to blow off $50k then it's a interesting exercise to see how high you can go. 70 lots on a 68k account, yeesh. I've been trading the EUR/USD futures recently and it's a beautiful market. Get the trend right and you'll get paid. I...

    SGX Exchange operating hours

    In the case of strong trending days, US markets seem like a good leading indicator for the SGXNK. Though it doesn't look like there is a premarket. I do see a couple of blips at 7:30pm or so.

    The Evolution of a Trader

    That line has been used fairly often especially by a lot of trading advisory services. "Get your XXX points and then quit for the day". It implies that you got lucky so don't press your luck. If you are a good trader, you have a sound trading methodology. Most times, it's about waiting...

    The Evolution of a Trader

    Same here, was in IT for 7 years and making 6 figures. Decided to do full time trading because I got bored of programming. $700 daily figure is about right but you have to consider variance. No one can do exactly $700 every day. You'll probably need to have a range of +2000/-1000. Feast...

    TradeTheMarkets(Hubert)trading room ?

    Hubert?? Forget Hubert. John Carter is the better pick, even if he's not exactly conservative. The whole Franz/TI mess was like a big soap opera. Some pretty sad stuff.

    Watch TaskManager. Looks like a hugh memory leak in the application.

    TradeTheMarkets(Hubert)trading room ?

    I've heard John's a home run hitter. You'll have to take that into consideration when using his picks. In one of his videos, he went over his criteria for choosing stocks. He uses IBD's site, looking for stocks with an RS of 99, sector leaders and I forget what the other criteria was...

    TradeTheMarkets(Hubert)trading room ?

    I personally jibe with John more. His thought process behind his picks are very clear and concise. They both use Camtasia to present their ideas visually. Until I read John's book, Mastering the Trade. I thought their site was just another one of many. Both of them are definitely traders...

    Yes, DAX is the symbol. You need to subscribe to the feed. Plus I believe it's base currency is the euro. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/exchanges.php?exch=dtb&ib_entity=llc
