I prefer trading YM to ES because of its fluidity of motion. I'll be happier when the CBOT drops the commissions in order to promote the YM contract farther.

Now that's real success ! :cool:

Try some different ones out until you can figure out the features that are most important to your style of trading.

Half the battle is to not have any (or as few as possible) sizeable losses. Large losses are what kill traders. Keep the lossed less than 1%. In fact it is a good exercise (if you're serious about being consistent) to take an average of your losses and see what percentage of your account...

AT Financial is part of Thompson Financial now, and while the company has a different owner now, its basically the same software. What's the big deal? I called Thompson and they have more options now, than AT Financial used to have anyway. I'm a former user of AT Financial and I am...

Long the strongest stock and short the weakest.

Variety of analysis at a lower cost than CQG is important but I am not interested in having to call the support desk every week. I wonder if Aspen's software is stable and reliable.

I agree.

If the YM daily volume could pick up more (up to 100,000) then the YM would be a sweet market to trade

It's about time for a multi-day pullback, IMO.

Daytrading only or can we hold overnight ?

Are there any AspenGraphic users on this board ? I'm considering using this charting software for some specific tools that they offer and I would like to know if anyone has had experience with them. Thanks in advance.

I'd have to vote on 1 and 2 overtrading and being undercapitalized. For a daytrader to think that he/she can make 10K or 20K on a 5K account is crazy. Many people who open futures accounts for 5K try to use trading tactics that are designed for great results. Both risky and unrealistic...

There is/was a Momentum Securities.

If IB or any other broker lost a trader based only on a 10 point slide ($500) that broker is probably thinking ... good riddance. :D

Go for it man, I'll be following you.

We'll have to see how deep the pullback will be. indices are not out of the woods yet, they're under a downtrend line.

I had heard/read somewhere that quote.com gets their data from another data provider and then they (quote.com) send it out to customers. Maybe there is a problem with that sort of relay process. Qcharts seem to have a lot of intermittent problems.
