Can anyone recommend a broker or web site that has a good futures trading simulation? I am interesting in practicing some very aggressive scalping techniques but I'm not ready to go live in my own account. My requirements - the simulation must be dependable and lightning fast. Will be...

Congratulations on your outstanding discipline. Too many, I think consider the markets like an electronic Las Vegas and trade solely for the 'action'. You'll go far in this business with that type of selective attitude, imho.

I'll take around here 1250-1279 for $1000, Alex

Everybody has their own trading style. What works for one trader may be wrong for another. In the end, you have to determine what amount of risk and reward works best for your style and bankroll. I tend to trade futures small amounts, even though I could afford 6 or 7 times more. I...

NYSE will close at 1:00 ET on Friday

The trading days before and after Thanksgiving are historically Bullish

Interesting take from Cramer Cramer mentioned that hedge funds are feeling pressure and the average fund may be up about 8% to 12% this year because of good short selling strategies. Cramer thinks that all is about to change. Cramer believes hedge funds have no choice but to cover their...

Isn't that two words? :D Just kidding.... Could you please educate us on what you mean by 'market profile; as it related to swing trading? thanks

IWM up nicely since yesterday's bottoming action

GM is at an extreme low level right now... it's 13.2% below its simple 10 day moving average. It looks to have bounced off 20.90 with a wave of buyers around 21. I would be patient and short it at a better opportunity, perhaps if it gets up to resistance around $22.30. But to answer...

The point is that... most day traders close their positions at the EOD. If you did, then you took a very minor and insignificant loss. With the important Housing starts data at 8:30 tomorrow, it's risky to hold a position into that report. If the report is very good, then the futures...

If your gonna post a trade, be prepared to accept all types of comments, both good and bad. It's a jungle here. I hope you got out in one piece.

Good looking hammer on high volume shorts beware...

I agree that the TRIN is mostly useless. I don't use MA, ADDX or LEVEL2 I DO use the 1min TICK as one of my main indicators. It took me months to determine what chart settings and indicators to use on the TICK for my particular style of trading. But now that I've got that smoothed...

"You know, at one time, there must've been dozens of companies making buggy whips. And I'll bet the last company around was the one that made the best damn buggy whip you ever saw. Now how would you have liked to have been a stockholder in that company?" great-great movie "Other...

Maybe something Bernacke said spooked the market. Bond prices are rising, so I'm not too concerned.
