ES, I would not expect the big "AHAA" coming one day. That would be like waiting/ searching for the holy grail. It is more like the concept of Kaizen, small steps every day, each day you see something more, you get more routine with something and so on. People focus so much on perfection, which...

I voted "other" lol. And in fact I use charts here and there, of course when the trading day starts I like to look at all major markets, daily and hourly charts maybe, to get a general overview whats going on. But when i start to actually trade, I like to have a pretty clean desktop on my...

I scalp for ticks, and there is absolutely no need for charts. In fact, if I would use them (alot) they would do more harm than good. They put the focus on the past, which distracts you from the here and now. The here and now is best represented by a simple depth of market and something that...

I thought the same :)

Where in spain are you going ? Mainland, or one of the islands ?

The best book about trading... ... the order book ! :)

Dont be too frustrated after only and few days of trying this. Give yourself at least 3 months, better 6-12 months. During this time, really focus on what is happening right in front of you, in the DOM. Dont let yourself distract by indicators and other funny tools. After each month you should...

Why should there be a bad risk to reward ratio ? It is under your control how much you risk and how much you take. There is no "bad" rr-ratio nor a "good" winning percentage built in automatically the moment you start scalping. These elements are defined by the way YOU trade and improved by the...

I trade mostly FESX, FDAX, NQ and ES, but also other contracts including the bund.

FGBS, FDXM, ZF

A good point, thank you for your input !

Lukas, I would say no, one has not to be concerned about this. You have to compare apples with apples. Sure AMP has way less net capital than a large FCM like IB or Advantage Futures. But you also have to look at the business they make, the clients they have. I would say that AMP has mostly...
