    Index Futures Options

    Anyone have a website or have any info they can share on Index Futures Options. I want to learn about them......seems to me there might be some reason to trade them sometime. I have pulled up a few different options on the ES but did not even see one trade go through. I am wondering if...

    DOW Mini's....who'da thunk it

    If you did nothing today other than short at open and cover at the close, 2 contracts on YM netted you $965.00 or $955 after commisions vs one contract on ES $950 or $945 after commisions. Naturally, I am sure there are days that the DOW moves more or less than 10x the ES. *******************...

    DOW Mini's....who'da thunk it

    I think I gave Cdntrader some free money Thursday when I first traded the YJ LOL, I just hit the sell button to short and WHAM, I thought "what the" ....talk about a lousy fill LOL. I mainly traded only one most of the time - then went with 1 YM for a bit. Made a total of 7 trades the last two...

    DOW Mini's....who'da thunk it

    I have been watching the DOW mini's for the last week or two and IMHO, there are a few things worth noting for those who might be considering trading futures. (Its worth noting that I more than doubled one of my small accounts these last two days mainly trading only the YJ....please don't think...

    2/way Satelitte Trading Review

    I am in the boonies, got the Starband (2 way) sattelite system just over a year ago and would not recommend it to anyone who wants to DT. Sometimes lag time is hardly noticeable, othertimes its downright scary at approx. 2 seconds. I have had numerous outtages when the weather here was...

    What a week

    I'm glad this ones over. I am wondering if most ES traders go for the swing, or scalp for .50s. Was the last two days of DTing the ES more difficult or a typical day? I lost $500 the last two days due to my own stupidity trying to go for the swing - at the wrong times of course. I watched...

    satellite internet access

    I totally 100% agree with mrktwiz. I am cancelling my starband next month. The main reason that I purchased the pos in the first place was for a reliable constant high speed connection. Instead, I got something that was unreliable, not constant (tho better than dial up) and while it is high...

    Are there Indicators worth watching for Eminis?

    SethArb, I do use TRIN and TRINQ, only problem with those is when a stock like WCOM - or any one stock, is heavily bought or sold, it can and often time does screw up the TRIN therby making it useless to watch. However, I find that when the TRIN is working well, timing your trades on the ES...

    Are there Indicators worth watching for Eminis?

    For trading stocks, I am not a big fan of indicators, usually watching only price and volume. My question is, are there any indicators that have proven themselves reliable to the point that your trades are based on a given indicator(s)? For instance, I have Stoch's set at 8,3,3 and on a 3...

    Going to Bright in LV this summer?

    Don, A few months back I wanted to join your team in the Detroit area but was told that I would first need to take the series 7 exam and that Bright trading would be my sponsor. Tried as I did, I could never get a clear answer to these questions from your Detroit office so perhaps in this...

    Don Bright "tour"

    I wouldn't mind at least trying out the Bright trading system but, a few months back when I wanted to try them in one of their Detroit area offices, I was told that it would take maybe +6 months before they would let me because I needed to take the series 7 exam before I could trade with them...

    Trading style worth $1k to learn?

    Hi joefutes, I was in that room for a few days as well and saw some nice calls as well as some losers. I also received a few PMs while in that room from dissatisfied paying members. IMO, don't do it. Do not pay unless he can be 100% correct and you can just blindly follow his calls. That of...
