now that CL is my go-to market and eminis secondary, ponied up the $55 monthly for TradeStation live feeds. Didn't think to verify over there... when I open the charts Monday morning, wherever the market is will be where I start from there :)

like I said, did not understand what I was seeing. CL gapped down, NG gapped up... markets aren't supposed to be open. But with the way governments make their own market rules on the fly these days, I'd believe anything about now.

here I went and opened up NT, copied my chart to upload and look what you did: beat me to it <lol> same data on time, tick and volume charts. I watched the action live, by random chance happened to be building some CL and NG charts for Monday and there she went. price action was illiquid...

Not sure what I saw today, but when updating NT charts build the CL was trading live (far as I could tell) for about an hour. Gapped down to 80 > 79.50 zone Either my ninja platform got confused about daylight savings time, or someone rallied the USD = sold CL earlier today

imo crude oil futures are the most technically clean (least noise) and most dynamic since the ER2 at its zenith, before fading into obscurity. CL(QM) has become my primary market too, and probably remains there for the next umpteen years. Hopefully so, because I resist permanent change much...

when trading QM, about half the time it will slip one tick out from where you placed the stop. So factor that right into the stop-select equation... build in the expectation of slippage. do not trade into key economic reports that affect interest rates... with either QM or CL unless you have...

For newer crude oil traders just entering the arena, QM offers the exact-same price parameters as ES values. $12.50 ticks that do often flare to two-ticks in width. Then again, crude oil market ranges 300% to 500% wider than ES just about every day, so a 2-tick bid/ask flare relative to that is...

QM often trades a 2-tick spread. It's arbed so heavily to CL that any errant spikes are rare... from what I've seen, mostly just data errors and not real trades. But even for the errant spike and 2-tick spread = slippage, the QM is exactly equal to ES in trade size. One tick = $12.50 and $1...

When I moved into live trading CL, I did that with QM using two contracts for scaled trading. If your personal approach includes trading multiple contracts in or out, chart the CL symbol and fill the QM symbol for trades. It's half the size, so two QM = one CL. The occasional slippage by a...

lately the ES specifically makes one - two minor price swings inside the first hour of trading, and then channels dead flat thru 4pt channels for five hours straight. catch or miss the first hour wiggles, and that day is all done. Stock traders working spreadsheet orders on several to dozens...

It appears lescor's personal trading operation has a semi to low correlation with ES movement. Keep in mind that active stocks are always making extreme swings up or down any given day regardless how the indexes move (or not) Much like the futures traders who work ES / CL or NG / 6E with...

Actually, not. Just the same droll troll who started all those "i quit" threads churning the ET cesspool here. All of the real traders are gone from this site, quit posting aka ericp's explanation or lurk inside your thread alone. Look around you at all the other thread titles and topics...

fortunately for me, carmi & lexi corrected my math error before they went outside following their dinner. I flipped my divisor around in error, which to your benefit made your case even stronger. had I cared one whit, I'd have posted a correction last night. but I simply don't so now that...

Well, in that case I owe bjb a sincere apology. sykes too, if I'm wrong. Not the least bit convinced, but we'll go with that idea. Then again, if bjb ain't seriously pretending to be this stupid on purpose for his own reasons, now that's a real frightening thought. === Let me see...

It's been a long time since I posted on this site or visited regularly, for that matter. Here's a classic reason why. billyjoerob, or should I say blowjob alias for short is merely sykes stirring up the pot in true trolling fashion. He aint stupid. Sykes = BJ is simply ignoring the catcalls...

Well Janes, in a lot less time than it takes to read thru 79 posts of your complete & utter bullshit here, anyone can watch some videos of charts and tech analysis applications in that free newsletter you reference. I'd assume they can judge from there what is worth or waste of their time...

** What level of "in-the-trenches" live trade experience does Mike Covel bring to the table? You might find this surprising, HiddenAgenda because we see you are new here. But Mike has done a number of stealth alias postings in the past, pretty much the same as you have here. Don't get me...

Sure... write it up. Don't forget to add full permission of disclosure for me to speak candidly with your broker as proof the trade is legit. Sounds perfectly fine to me. Also, you conveniently forget to include the fact that I offer anyone a FREE market newsletter with no adds or...

Don't forget to involve the NFA too, Janes. But I've got a better solution for ya: go ahead and post a screenshot of that 10-lot ES short position on last night's mark-to- market statement showing fill and current mark. Pick any of your laughable troll threads, or post it on all of them. I will...

And you do? Kindly point out a single post of yours that ever helped anyone in any way... apart from chit-chat, P&R and psych sections. I think you missed the forums for Oprah ~ Dr. Phil, too. Might want to check them out. Looks like you wasted five years' of everyone's time here to me.
