    Letting a profitable futures day-trader trade my account: feasable?

    The only way to assess skill is watching real time trades and paying close attention to risk control (losses under no circumstance should exceed some threshold this is critical for leveraged instruments like the SP). Calling the market is not enough, it's much more complicated than that, you...

    SP03M/ES03M reaction to a victory in Baghdad

    range not broken as of 15:55 EST. staying flat for the weekend as a risk management device, but there's strong support in the 870-873 area so i like a long position. pity an 8 point stop is too much for my taste (ES = 878.50 15:57:10 EST) resistance (not too strong) in the 885 area

    Is this week much tougher for anyone else?

    just futures, but i tried etf's back when you could trade them on ecn's. no major difference, except less leverage = less profits.

    Is this week much tougher for anyone else?

    mostly sideways this week, no big movement except the big gap b/w 4/1 and 4/2. If this continues this way I might start trading the range, it's possible but you have to stay in the trade usually about half hour sometimes 2 hours.... it's exhausting analyzing each tick for 2 hours... on the other...

    Damned if we do, and damned if we don't !

    The problem is that capitalism and democracy go against human nature. If you observe certain monkey species, there's a leader who gets all the female monkeys and all the food he wants. All the other monkeys just follow the leader. That's why it's so difficult for the rest of the world to make it...

    SP03M/ES03M reaction to a victory in Baghdad

    saddam.apr03 back to 66/68 bid ask, looks like it was a panic reaction from iraq info min threats. long since 876.50 (my previous target) stop 2 ticks if it doesn't reach 880.50 by 12:37 i get the f out of here.

    SP03M/ES03M reaction to a victory in Baghdad

    iraq information minister: Iraq may take "non conventional" action tonight (iraq time i guess, 8 hours ahead of EST) also, april saddam futures down hard to 62/70 bid/ask (geez looks like eighties NYSE bid-ask spread) i will stick to my current plan, it's working right now. just bounced...

    SP03M/ES03M reaction to a victory in Baghdad

    Ultra-choppy mode, guns set to automatic - 100 shots a minute (kidding) the market had trouble breaking 884 earlier today and 882.50 is now the high of the first 30 minutes, don't see a lot of room to go downsied either (unless some reallt bad news) will be playing it like yesterday, 3-4...
