    My emini daytrading journal

    That's interesting. You are aiming for a 200$ gain per day but you are also willing to accept a possible 2000$ loss in a single day. Such a day will eliminate 10 profitable days and will cost you another 10 days just to get back to breakeven. So you are basically willing to trade a whole...

    Are 24-hour futures markets the best for full-time intraday traders?

    You should move to europe, it's a very nice timezone for trading the U.S. markets. They open at 3.30pm CET, so you have the whole morning free for other things. The lunch break is from 6-8 pm, you can have dinner then. This means it's also possible to work at "real" job during the day and...

    Best approach on intraday exits

    Well, I've been experimenting with trailing stops and I'm not yet convinced that they are useful for intraday trading. Yesterday was a good example: I sold the ER2 at the open (739.20) and put in a trailing stop of 2.5 points. But actually I didn't trust this and closed at 735 manually (a...

    The S&P just put in another higher short term bottom

    With all these threads of people making calls for an index not going above or below a certain price, I believe there is a market for the kind of products we have here in Germany. You can bet on all sorts of outcomes with them, for example the DAX not touching 6000 before a specific date...

    A good trailing stop amount for ER2?

    As you probably know, the ER2 sometimes develops very strong intraday trends. To profit from those it seems to be a good idea to use a trailing stop. As I haven't traded the ER2 a lot yet, I wonder what you think would be a good trailing stop amount to trail those trends? (I...

    The gap game doesn't work like that anymore.. this was a big part of my strategy and it has stopped being useful about a week ago. It might come back though, for the last few years a gap-fill-strategy in the YM was pretty reliable. Maybe it's just a phase.. maybe the YM is just a...
