    are props trading crude/nat gas?

    Hi, I've been position trading nat gas for a while, and I recently moved to New York to trade upstairs for a floor trader here. I've been sim trading crude e-minis for a couple of days now, and I'll go live with them in the next week or three. The liquidity is there for day trading, but...

    Argh! Help w/ Multiple Monitors!

    1. Yes, that's the Dell card. 2. Right now I just have one, the GeForce, with two VGA outputs. However, I'm looking to buy whatever will work best. 3. For now, 4 monitors total will work. 4. Yes.

    Argh! Help w/ Multiple Monitors!

    Thanks very much, guys. I got them all working. Out of curiosity, what is the favorite video card around here for up to four monitors? My current setup is the standard Dell graphics controller and a GeForce 5500, but I'm guessing there's better options, especially for when I add the...

    Argh! Help w/ Multiple Monitors!

    I was in the process of putting a new video card in and arranging my monitors. I was trying to systematically go through each monitor under the properties console and unchecking the 'attached' option. As you might guess, I accidentally unattached all three monitors, and now I can't see...

    Who got hurt on that spike today?

    Seems to me that even if you were right about this, you would want to keep quiet, no? Why not let those poor scalpers throw their money at you and provide the liquidity that you like?

    Market Profile forward test journal

    Hi, guy2. Great journal. I use MP to trade nat gas. Just so I understand your strategy, I've attached a chart of Friday's ER2 trading. (The periods are a bit different with CQG.) As I understand it, you're buying on retests of single prints created during the day. You say that your...

    How small can one trade?

    The MidAm exchange offers grain e-minis, I believe. The margin on a corn contract there is $50.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Well, predicting future random events wouldn't violate causality. Such endeavors may be doomed to failure, but I fail to see how this violates our intuitive notion of causality. Besides, you'll have trouble convincing a trader than market movement is entirely random. Finally, it makes...

    Why so hard on indicators?

    I've heard this before, but to me, that's like criticizing someone for deriving theorems in mathematics because set theory and logic have been laid out. Price and volume have implications that may not be easily observable. (I'm not arguing with you; I realize you were attributing this POV...

    Why so hard on indicators?

    Hey guys. I've been on here a few months now, mostly lurking. What's up with the constant derision of indicators around this place? Did the MACD kill someone's baby? I don't know; maybe I got the wrong impression. Do you guys think this is a correct assessment of ET sentiment?
