Many people on ET are short term traders.. believing they can make money on every wiggle and waggle in the futures... which as we all know is the most difficult type of trading. Therefore.. this thread has of no value to them. But for the people that trade longer term... and can see past a...

I know everything in the economy "looks" great and all the eco# coming out are bulish... but I think the best risk to reward trade is to the downside. I dont have some cute technical pattern or chart fibo that is behind my reasoning to get short... nor is it just a pure gut trade. But I...

As of today I have a big short position in the Russell 2000. I am trading the IWM.. and my avg short price is $120. I have roughly 50% of my trading account short.. and I will be continuing to scale into any strength throughout the coming days. My goal is to become 100% short in my...

How about trading currency.. or swing trade ETF's. A lot of ways to make money in this business. Daytrading the ES is probably one of the hardest. --MIKE

How do u use technicals? Aer u looking for a pattern or some type of setup? Anything in particular u care to share?

Curious as to what type of system u use? Is it technical?

No u are wrong. What u dont understand is that most of the time.. the big moving stocks make their one day moves then they goto sleep. Their day to day volatility stinks. Look at Tasr in particular. Some days the range is great and some days its just chop garbage. The truth is that u will only...

Something that might hold down the Euro... ECB in crisis as rate cut blocked by revolt http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2004/04/05/cnecb05.xml&menuId=242&sSheet=/portal/2004/04/05/ixportal.html

Personally i dont feel comfortable taking a major position in stocks for my trading account... too much noise... upgrades/company news screw up the charts and the trends. My favorite trading vehicle is the Russel 2k. IWM continues to make new highs and is probably one of the strongest...

EASYGURU, Whats your point.. its always been that way. There are $5 stocks than become $10 in 2 days.. and vice versa. Its always been that way and always will. We are specifically talking about the broader market.. the shit u hear about on TV all the time. Thats what most fund managers...

I agree.. in the long run.. now is not the time to be buying stocks. I would wait till the dow hits 9k.. to turn bullish.

ok thanks

I guess that means no I cant trade the ES in that account. Anyone know IB's policy?

Assuming u have 100k in an IB universal account. And you are fully invested in the market. Now lets say u want to trade the ES however u have $0 in liquidity because u are fully invested. Can u still trade the ES because u have $100k net worth in your account although its not liquid? --MIKE

Just curious as to how much size u trade per a position? Are u trading more than 1 lot?

ACtually now I am in the profit.. lol

Now dont u feel like a dumbas seeing the ES drop to the flat line? Just keep on buying here.

I just scaled in another piece... Average cost a little under $120. I am fading this move... I am betting I can make 3 points on the IWM....

I think the big boys are not buying this rally... anyways.. I am scaling into a pretty big short.

U dont know what u are talking about.. last time around it wasnt the same.
