    Simple ES scalping strategy?

    Oh I forgot to mention, completely ignore the fact that that chart has GMMA moving averages on it... they're completely unrelated to the method posted in this thread.

    Simple ES scalping strategy?

    Found this in a section of a .pdf I downloaded from some other site: I'm not sure how old this is but since he talks about telephone brokers it must be pretty old Pattern 1: The 15-minute Opening Range Scalp (15ORS pattern) This is my all-time favorite method- it’s easy to do, need no...

    Kettlebells are awesome. My old gym had some, and I know some nhb fighters who use them as well.

    I just downloaded OpenECry's free simulator. It's good for 14 days I think.

    can you apply a profitable forex strategy to currency futures?

    I have something called E7M8 in my Open E Cry demo. Is that the same thing? It's similar to what Oanda is displaying on the EUR/USD but not exact.

    can you apply a profitable forex strategy to currency futures?

    6E isn't one of the choices on the Open E Cry futures trading demo. Am I doing something wrong? There's something else called EUR/USD, but it doesn't match the EUR/USD in forex.

    can you apply a profitable forex strategy to currency futures?

    I'm more concerned with the fact that futures are regulated and brokers don't go stop hunting. But I hear you have to trade huge lots when you trade futures. Is this true? I don't want to have to do huge $100/tick trades :eek:

    can you apply a profitable forex strategy to currency futures?

    Pretty much just asking what the title says. Say someone is profitable on the EUR/USD in forex. could they trade whatever the EUR/USD futures contract is exactly the same way with the same results?

    Question about IB (since they won't reply to my emails)

    Thanks. I read in the reviews section here that they don't have the best customer service. That might explain why they never replied to my emails.

    Question about IB (since they won't reply to my emails)

    Say I open an account with $10k or whatever their minimum is. Does this allow me to trade all instruments through them (ie. stocks one day, futures the next, Forex at night, etc.?) or are there different types of accounts for the different instruments there? If that's how it works, that...

    P&L since beginnning trading

    Why didn't you retire with $1.6M? I would've. Buy some bonds and live on $50k a year risk free without touching the principal and get some easy job for supplementary income. Man I can't wait to retire, or at least until work is an option.

    What style of trading do you do?

    A. Scan for stocks the night before based on whatever criteria you look for. Have your stocks picked out before the market opens with set entry points such as "if stock ABC reaches x price I'm going to buy/short." B. Have a few select stocks that you always watch, and watch them throughout...

    Taking $5K to 25K by the end of the year

    Canadians are exempt from PDT? $1000 a day. Must be nice. Any insight into your strategy? edit - also how much leverage are you allowed in your $5k account to be able to buy $12k positions? Obviously more than 2:1.

    So tell me why I should trade currency futures instead of forex?

    wtf, apparently I can't even open an account with IB: :mad: That's bullshit. Can I lie? Will they check my personal history and see that I haven't made 100 trades? Or I can lie and say I made 100 trades in a forex simulator. lol.

    So tell me why I should trade currency futures instead of forex?

    I'd like to start with 10k lots so 1 pip = $1. And then go up to 1 pip = $10. My profit targets in my Oanda trial account are always 5-10 pips away from entry, so I'm not gonna be sitting on positions for a while waiting for bit 50-100 pip moves. Anyway, once I'm profitable at that, increase...
