Quote from moarla:
thats bullshit. My minimum is 1000 single contract. If i trade 10 or 100, my minimum still is 1000/contract. so with 10 my minimum is 10.000 and with 100 is 100.000.
I dont change my trading style with the amount of contracts i trade.
You can tell me also how much ticks or points you make on a single contract . Thats opk for me too...

That is quite expensive...
Shouldn't I just trade something less expensive to hold like the SMC?

...
#3: Key to success is built on a profit / loss ratio that yields at least a +2 to -1 return over time. Losses bigger than wins will result in eventual ruin, period. Countless posters have passed thru here proclaiming otherwise, yet never show proof of success and soon disappear.
Scalping for tiny gains is also wasted effort. Focus your trading on capturing points = handles instead of ticks. That's where the easiest money awaits in a very challenging profession.
Quote from Mecro:
You claim to make more than $1k a day and you're concerned about margins on S&P futures, which are pretty damn good comparing to most other products you can trade?
If you supposedely make so much in real estate (big lol right there already), you should have good capital and should trade with the least leverage possible, not the most. Hence, margins should not matter to you.
In other words, you are full of shit or a clever troll.

Remember: Futures is a zero sums game. You win $1,000 someone loses $1000.
so you have to be better than the other side.
What makes you think you are or ever will be?
The question should be:
Are you happy with -$1,000 losing days?

<i>"you would maby also agree on that: a 12pt range doesnt mean, you can only make 12pts)))
in a range of 12 pts you can have 10 times up and down.... correcto?"</i>
Nope... I call bullshit on the whole thing. All theory, no reality. But I can easily be proven wrong. Just post a few blotters and prove otherwise.
fwiw, my day has begun with two turns: long for +6pts into the premarket news blast and short for +4pts into the opening bell. 10-lots turned, +$2,000 daily objective covered from now until Wednesday afternoon.
