    Es profit on 1/4 point can it be done? Part II

    at 10:05 ET it looks like the morning reaction after the PPI was a top for the day. In my case i prefer to avoid to trade inside this noise. I'll wait to go long around 107'13-107'10 range later on TY

    Buy and Hold Work?

    You need timing and finding value to buy and hold.... and a little detail: a broad bull market in your future. Usually the people who looks for buy and hold doesn't know shit about value, they do buy and hold because is easy to take one time call and seat to wait.. You could have bought...

    Short Stock vs Selling other instrument

    1) Some stocks will be hard to borrow for the broker so you can't short all the stocks at all the time. You don't have that problem with futures. The issue with futures (for newbies) is the discipline to manage the possibility of having too much leverage. Some can't deal with it, so the 5-7%...

    *+10937 on IB trading ZN (shorting 19-20), no trades on ES *No trades on Tradestation Out for the day as the ES clearly doesnt' want to take yesterday levels and its waiting tomorrow data. I like USDJPY around 118/118.50 for a quick bounce. Good Luck!

    Did todays UP TREND leave you behind?

    ER2 is usually a better trend-follower than YM with less slipagge. Of course that this days are showing exactly the opposite. YM trending and ER2 getting a hard job to take the 820 zone out after a huge effort a few weeks ago to take the 800 zone.

    Does the YM lead the ES?

    If you want to think that YM is leading the ES, no problem, its pretty subjetive, so none can have the truth on this topic. Anyway, i think the ES leads the YM for many reasons, including, for instance the volume traded on ES (and his components) is 10 or more times bigger. You should...
