    If you guys don't mind, I would be interested in knowing what kind of size you all play. Maybe get some insights into the best way to play larger size. I think the YM isn't liquid enough to scalp even 10 contracts without 2-3 pt slippage -FastTrader

    Correction; I checked a few of my recent YM trades and the maximum position I had was 3 contracts. I guess, I'm willing to put on up to 5 for now, but the max. has been 3 so far. -FastTrader

    I started playing around with the YM less than a month ago, and don't have enough experience in trading futures (or trading anything for that matter) to put on decent size. I'm usually in the 1-5 contracts range on the YM. I always enter with 1 and add as I see more opportunity. On stocks, I...

    I think with proper position sizing, the YM is an excellent vehicle to trade. I haven't traded it much, but I have a lot of ideas on how to reduce risk and manage my positions that I'll be putting to work soon. I mostly trade stocks and take maybe, 2 or 3 trades in the YM if I see something...

    On a liquid Nasdaq stock, there really isn't much slippage if you're trading 1-2K sh lots. I've traded 100 sh lots and 1500-2000 sh lots on Naz with no variance in slippage between the 2 sizes. So, unless Joey is planning on upping size to 5-10K sh lot, I think slippage won't be that much of...

    Las Vegas???

    13:31 ET Market Decline Follow-up : In a scramble for reasons to explain the market decline, some trading floors talking about a 4-alarm fire in Las Vegas that destroyed hundreds of apartment units. Only problem is that this fire was last night. No injuries were reported, but the cause is still...

    There is a Futures broker here by the name FFastTrade but I am not associated with them. My account is with IB. I'm just in and out of positions quick, so the handle FastTrader seemed appropriate. -FastTrader

    Personally, I'd like it if everyone did post the Size they traded because size is a very important aspect of trading, and that may not come forward if people don't post size. Plus, we can discuss any liquidity issues a certain vehicle may have; how to get best fills; what kind of slippage to...
