Looks as though you're using a strategy that is being used by professionals that make money *every day*... yet ur wanting advice or constructive trader commentary? Maybe I'm missing something.. But based on your responses and tone to the replies of advice/input you're already set in ur ways...

If I'm a betting man... I'd bet we'll see a hike rate in December after the election if Trump wins. If Hilary wins we won't see any rate hike for awhile... Just a hunch. No way of ever knowing though. :P

Thank you so much for your input and suggestion of something to consider! I am eager to learn and trying new and different things to identify signals of entry. So to summarize what you're saying... You're suggesting to look at the speed of ticks/orders printing on the tape and study to see how...

I have found this thread very educational.. more ways then one lol. Enough of the bickering. Let's get back on track here. It's been awhile since any post from the OP. Curious as to how things are going. I too am on a journey of learning to day trading the ES and NQ. I prefer the NQ. I feel...

Thank you for sharing. After looking at that I've stumbled upon I *think* what it is I'm seeing in this video. http://www.jigsawtrading.com/learn-to-trade/free-order-flow-analysis-lessons/lesson8/ Cumulative Delta Charts Edit: I knew it was Delta something .. lol

For sure. But I'm curious to what he's using here to determine these "signals" ... Because in theory I suppose that if one could determine when the large players are coming into a market buying or selling one could take a calculated guess as to the short term trend that would follow. Again...

At about the 12:30 mark in that video how is this indicator showing "the big's" buying and "retail" or smaller traders buying. What is this indicator showing? How can it determine if the big boys are buying or selling? That's what I'm getting at. I'm not talking about any offers or bids showing...

I'm looking at the ES. So basically what you're suggesting is that a 20~ lot size trade printing on the tape is irrelevant.. And it's not a big enough indicator towards buy/sell pressure. Right? Anyways, for my own benefit.. I'm just curious what this type of indicator is or how I could set...

Ok. :confused: Maybe I'm wrong here in thinking that when I see a 20+ lot trade print on the tape that's a sign that a larger size trader is buying/selling. I feel like I cant remember when I've seen a 100+ lot trade print on the tape.. Maybe I'm missing something. Regardless, I'm looking for...

Not sure what this is called.. but I feel like I've read about this type of indicator/chart before. I'm trying to build a chart similar to this to help build upon a strategy I want to test so I am able to view market flow of buying/selling pressure. Going to post this video here (skips to...

Let's be honest here tho for a moment... If ur trading 2 contracts on the mini with a 5k account and ur stops are 25pts out.. you shouldn't even be trading that instrument, with that account size and that wide stop. Am I wrong here or.....?

As he said ^ Look into www.tradezero.co

I'm not worried about the difference between margin size 400-1000 in relation to my account size... Obviously however, I'd like have it as low as possible. And to be honest I'm not an over night holder trader. It's not in my strategy or style of trading. Thanks for your input tho.

I'll also take back what I said earlier.... I don't feel like apex has high margins for the emini. I've seen plenty if other brokers within the $500 range. But I feel like the round trip costs per contract is steep

Deep discount appears to have very high margins for the ES. If I'm reading it right.. $1100... :confused:

Yes! thank you. Also I felt their round trip was steep. $4.84 per round trip. Was quoted that for emini. But I like their platform. Thanks for the input

Would love to hear opinions, personal experiences, etc. I've looked through a bunch of brokers such as: amp, apexfutures, cannon, ironbeam, tradovate to name a few. Main thing I'm searching for is low round trip costs. Trading volume wouldn't give me any discounts as I'm starting out trading 1...

Mainly at this point trading skills, education and finding a strategy or three that fits me and can be profitable. Futures market is appealing and I've been doing some reading, paper trading, and little research. Prop firm is going to probably be a last resort. I feel with my level of skill...

Some of what has been said has gone against what I was thinking.. To be honest where I am at right now I'm leaning more towards staying away from a prop firm and trading with my own money saved up. Shooting to start around 10k and trade small lots from there. I've been told to look into...

Guys thank you for all of your input. It's been awhile since I've posted in here so I figured I'd share some info from my meeting and give some insight. Sat down and had about an hour and a half convo with the manager of the firm here in my local area. Got some basic information that's been...
