    1330 is a key magnet... layers of support. Held the first test as one would expect. If she breaks into the afternoon, especially if it gets tested as overhead resistance past 2pm est, lay on the shorts into closing bell.

    <i>"My screens (5) are my trading world in terms of my senses..."</i> The better your skills become, the fewer screens you'll need. I trade from two charts per symbol, monitor a bigger one and focus on a smaller one. Could get by with only one chart, but the dual view certainly helps...

    <i>"However, you can clearly see that from taking even minuscule 6 points targets from early in day to only taking 4 point targets. Even though the plan called for at least 8 on nearly all trades taken. Technically i should have four 10 point trades but psychology of holding onto gains and not...

    <i>"Think or Swim showed their E-mini pairs trading/arbitrage methodology (I honestly don't have enough experience with the concept, its risk/reward parameters, or how a trader really implements it in real-time to speak on it intelligently). Something about 1 ES contract = 2 NQ contracts was...

    The big question. How do i sort through the mess of the e-minis?

    <i>"i guess being the fact that i am seeking 1-2 full point objectives in the ES, NQ and ER2 for example it would come down to which of these 2 commodities has the most movement on an average to move within a 1-2 point objective in the shortest period of time. this is why i asked the question...

    <i>"no one that trades could be this dumb so this must be a joke. ;)"</i> I see you were quite busy in here posting during some directional market action. Hope you caught the ES short 1358 - out 1346 like we did. * Some clovers, beans and other legumes contain +/- 20% protein per...

    Beef Recall

    <i>"BS.. you idiot"</i> Yup, I'm just spouting ignorant rhetoric here. No idea what I'm talking about when it comes to nutrition topics. Yet another reminder why I seldom visit this intellectual cesspool of a website any more. Time is much better spent elsewhere with others.

    <i>"Can you imagine the GI discomfort?"</i> The level of discomfort there would only be exceeded by others who are caught inside those ensuing vapor clouds. Grazing animals emit a constant stream of gas... and that fermentation process works similar in our large intestines on a high-legume...

    Is trading that hard? Or are people that stupid?

    <i>"I'll read all the most important and relevant books. I'll spend a good 1-2 hours/day reading threads on this and other sites. Ask questions. Try to come up with a system.

    <i>"LOL. And I've seen at least 89,000 of those come and go. And they weren't serious about trading. They were serious about WANTING to trade, which is a different story altogether. I'll venture a wild guess that there are less than 100 active, fulltime, profitable (meaning professional)...

    Inter-index intraday spread trading

    The Dow components are basket-traded against SPX plays for hedges & spreads... that is why they track so closely, you are correct. The S&P versus NDX or RUT is only semi-correlated. You will not make money spreading the ES/YM pair. They do not diverge enough to offer profits. Think of it...
