    How do you close a losing trade?

    I am just moving into the emini futures market and finding that my methods of closing out a losing trade sometimes backfire. What I have been trying to do most of the time is post a bid or offer and hope that it gets "hit". Reason being that I dont want to pay the spread. Today again I...

    Using Cash Charts To Trade Emini Futures

    I am just stepping in the emini "pit" as I have been trading them for less than 30 days so take this with a grain of salt. I would think the futures charts or at least quotes would be important so that you will know the prem on the futures. Also I would think that the cash could be a great...

    Today was kinda crazy. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was my BEST William signal. I must have received 10-12 signals today includding ESST which is the one I felt was the best short. IB did not have that to short so then I went back and found another although less...

    Upon going over the charts and looking at ESST prices for Friday I cant say IB made me very happy with their short list. Big Bummer :mad: Had IB allowed me to short ESST on Thursday I would of made some nice coin. At one point the stock traded well under a dollar from my signals entry...

    Which pro firm to choose?

    I agree. I just switched over to IB so that I may do both as easy as possible on a limited bankroll. I find myself spending more and more time with the futures where there is NO short list to worry about, leverage is great, the product cant get bought out (although the Hunt bros. tried to...

    Closed MCAF at 14.37 .29+ Normally would carry to the next day but as this was selling off I thought I would take the money and run. As it turns out as of this post I should of held a little longer as the price continued to fall further.

    MCAF does not look strong enough at this time to add to my short. If in the last half hour it runs up I will add to the short I also have a signal to short ESST at the 17.16 price level but IB appears to not have the stock for me to short.

    William is my four month old.:D What I do is set him on the WSJ and what ever stock he drools on first is the short!! Seems to be working. Actually, william is my best signal I have made for overnight shorting and I named it after my son. All my signals have names so that I can keep...

    Shorted MCAF @ 14.59 based on William. While this was an early short based on Willaim ( usually during last half hour of trading or extended hours) I put this limit order in and did not watch it to see the fill. Will be looking to add to my short at the end of the day.
