But where do you draw the line. Fist it is commodities, then financial futures then equities, before you know only institutions can afford to trade. Also do not forget, that higher oil prices could be a necessary evil, that will spark some new development that could change it all. Things are...

I think it is a great idea, but I do not think that it will work. People would rather play sony games or watch American Idol and etc, then spend their "precious time" trying to educate themselves. I was shocked when I learned that people spend more time researching what plasma/lcd to buy then...

I tend to disagree a bit. More info is not necessarily a positive thing as well. I am trading DAX and can see 10 levels on bid and ask, however aside from 5 nearest levels, where enough games are played, the rest of levels do not hold as much important info as nearest levels for immediate price...

If you really think that is is speculators that drive up the prices you need to wake up. Think about who benefits from high energy prices, and I am not talking about exon and etc. Just a hint, Putin's closest friend is running an energy "trading" firm out of Switzerland. They do not care if thew...

US will never default on its debt. Think who owns $ printing press, and you will see why. They will inflate $ through the roof if neccessary, but will never default.

Hi Baron193, I have the same question to you, how much time did you spend trading DAX on simulator and how is your performance? All sim trades will do for you is prove that you have a system with an edge and that you can actually execute. It is by no means will guarantee you you will...

That is what I thought as well, it probably was ecbot. I have not heard until now about globex being down. At any case DAX futures offer a decent emergency hedge, they are about 85% correleated with US markets.

And you know this how?

Curious, do you happen to remember what times of day it happenned and how long it stayed down.

When was globex down last time? Also, DAX trades through out all US session.

Definitely spend some time on simulator, there is no guarantee of course that after it you will be profitable, but if you will be in a red on sim, then you definitely be in red live. Once sim is successfully behind, the live trading as I am sure you know will present its psychological twists...

Hi Christoffer, If you know what you are doing, you will love this contract. First 2-3 hours (after cash opens 9am-12pm) are usually pretty good. Just ignore that first pre cash hour. Others may comment of crossing hours with US session. Just a word of caution, DAX can be very rough, I...

Trading is just like any other business, only minority becomes very successful. How many millionaire restaurant owners do you know for example? There are many ways to extract large sums of money from markets, unfortunately too many do not stick around long enough to make it. Or just burn...

Hi Mrbluelegs, Writing a journal is for the most part a thankless effort unless there are several contributors who trade the same system on the same time frame for the same instruments and willing to spend time in public discussions. I trade CCI for several years now (it does works and I...

Forget Manhattan, just look at Brooklyn where the prices are more down to earth. It is going up up up. Makes no sense. This just proves an old saying, "markets can remain irrational far longer than people can be solvent".

Hi Mrbluelegs, I have been using CCI since 2005, it that time Woodie was using 3 min bars. CCI is the only price indicator that I use. The difficulty that I had and most have is being shaken out of trades. Many things can happen during 3 min, and even if you have long ZLR with green...

No reason to trade during Christmas week. It is a good week to take off, the book is very thin across all markets. It is to dangerous to trade, so the better retun on your capital is to relax and enjoy holidays.

Yes, it does. I wish they fixed eurex volume issue so I could try it for live trading. As far as data coming in, it is on the spot when compared to X-trader.

Hi Relhby, Ninja is not a quoting service it is just a front end for charting and execution. I personally use X-Trader for my trades and Ninja for charting. Unfortunately I can not use zen-fire feed into Ninja for DAX since it does not currently report correct volume (every trade comes...

Chess came from India, this is a widely known fact.
