    Any good indicators for how many ticks to take in a winning trade?

    2 min has too much noise(in my opinion), 5 min a lil better, you could look for a developing divergence using CCI or MACD to signal a trend ending or trend starting, even better when those divergences happen near or on a pivot point

    ECN brokerage discussion

    Im a CTA and I can tell you that since CTAs are regulated by the CFTC, they are bound by the new rules. If you trade from the U.S, any FX spot broker(whether it be U.S. or foreign) must adjust the new leverage limits into compliance with 50:1 limit for all CTAs based in the USA

    Starting with 1 ES contract...

    To the OP, the fact that you would even post such meaningless question about how long would it take to progress from 1 contract to the hundreds shows you have no business trading at this time. The only thing you should be concentrating on at this time is enhancing the...
