Top of the D' Mate. Thanks for a fantastic journal. It sure got me off of my sorry arse and working. Darn near blew out the account 'till I found this thread. Second best newbie day today. :) Trading the YM....

Ameritrade does....I'm not sure how much $$$ is required. They started in '05.

Is the market open? Geezzz ;-)

Pekelo....Re MRC: I am new to the YM futures but there seems to be some easy pickings occasionally at night in relation to the futures price and fair value. Scalped it once myself. Used limit order because from watching slippage seems to be horrible. May be something you want to look at.

I plan to start trading the YM next week. This will be my first time in the futures market. Have been trading stocks full time for the past three years. I will start with only $2500 and trade 1 contract intraday. Nothing special about my system (if you can even call it that). I use eSignal for...
