We already have 3 ET'ers who made over $3Mill in 03' :D -Fast

C'mon CHICAGO people!! -FAST

demonet, no problem. How about we meet here: Hooters of Chicago 660 N. Wells Street Chicago, IL 60610 Keep in mind I'm 20 y/o so I won't be able to hit up any clubs or bars with you guys :( -Fast

Whoever wants to pick up the ball on this; please start a new post titled "CHICAGO ET MEET" or something, and get a list going. I'm up for a meet on any weekend. -Fast

All kidding aside, I'd rather not have the first Chicago ET meet at a strip club :D Maybe the 2nd meet...but the first meet should be at a place where we can at least talk and get to know the people behind the screen names. How about Hooters of O'Hare? 8225 West Higgins Rd Chicago, IL...

LSU..how about you let me trade your account :D But on a more serious note, I do plan on increasing size slowly. At times, I do take my position up to 3-5 ES. Maybe next week I'll try trading with 3 ES, then 5, then 10, then 20 :D -Fast P.S. Slept in this morning, so no trades today.

LOL...yea, you'd be hitting 50-lots on ES if you were trading for me. No thanks, I'd rather bleed slowly than blowup in a few days :D Btw, my call was on ES for the up-move. My call on NQ was around 1531-1532 level, but NQ was weakest out of the bunch, so I wouldn't have bought it. Why...

You're right. One of my problems is, I can't really hold for too long since I do have to leave for work and I go flat before I leave. Ask LSU...I was calling for a up-move on ES this morning around the 1133-1134 level in the ET chat room, but I couldn't put on that trade myself since I had...

You toying with my emotions LSU :p -Fast

No insult taken. Another problem is, I only trade the first 1-1.5 hrs of market open so I can not hold my trades as long as I'd like to. When it's time for me to leave for work, I go flat regardless of where my position is. My current platform does not support OCO orders so I can't just enter...

Exactly. So, how can I apply this to trading ES? The way I see it, when I use a tight stop (1 pt), it has a higher probability/chance of getting hit. The larger 2-2.5 pt stop has a less chance of being hit, but when it does get hit, it results in a larger loss. I guess it's a give or take...

I trade the ES and generally use a 2 pt initial stop-loss. So, should I be aiming to make 6 pts on every trade? Is that what you all do? -Fast

$250K is a very decent size account for trading. I don't know if Futures traders really measure their success based on percentage return on account size though. I mean, a guy with $250K could be trading 10-lots on ES and make the same amount of cash as the guy with a $25K account. -Fast

Feedback people! C'mon...show this journal some love :p :D -Fast

Ditto. -Fast

I asked yesterday, and they said their simulated stops will be working by next week. No big deal for me since I rarely trade YM. -Fast

I can't compare the speed to X Trader since I haven't used it, but it seems faster than TWS which I used for 6 months. Reliability is definitely up there with X Trader and the likes. OEC's platform hasn't crashed on me even once. -Fast

Just from looking at the screen shots, I like the look of OEC's platform more. -Fast
