Mike, I use eSignal for charting and trade through Interactive Brokers using their TWS platform. I will post any useful information on ESTX50 and DAX here; as I find it. This was my 2nd day trading the European futures which do behave differently compared to ES/NQ. I'll need a few days to...

I don't use either so don't really care. But even with X Trader, I think Velocity Futures offers a better deal. -Fast

You're one of the largest locals and you registed a day after this offer was posted just to chime in? Right. I know some locals and they don't go on message boards promoting some trading platform. -Fast

Covered calls to be exact :D -Fast

What's this about? It is a new TV serial or a movie? -Fast

True. One of my friends makes 99% of his income from options. He makes a lot from writing naked puts on cheaper stocks. He just does it in larger size (over 1K contracts) and makes a decent chunk of change :) -Fast

Exactly. Personally, I've found Options to be better for swing trading than stocks. Less actual cash expoure; more leverage; good upside potential if your analysis is correct. Works for me. -Fast

That $25 M. limit could be a problem :D -Fast

10-tick? That's VERY short-term. You sure you don't mean 10-minute chart? -Fast

P L J, I paper-traded the DAX on Friday. I think I had 1 loser and 3 winners netting 20+ points overall. But I agree, it moves fast so I will be sticking with the ESTX50 in the beginning and try the DAX later on. -Fast

I'm not sure if you're really "serious" about that :D But, don't worry, as soon as I'm ready, I will be doing some serious size. That's the plan :cool: -Fast

gruff, thanks for your feedback. I'm looking into Eurex because I have time in the morning to trade, and one of my problems right now is my schedule limits my trading in the US markets. Since Eurex opens much earlier, I will have more time to trade it and I think this may be beneficial. The...

At least you realize there is a problem. That's a good sign :) -Fast

I don't really follow my system for exits; just take profits depending on how much time I have. For example, if I have to leave for the office and I'm up 1.5 pts, I'll just exit and leave. -Fast
