I trade the ES, Big SP, and mutual funds

Thank God ! Still a big SP player here on board !

gnome,

Why do you choose to trade the ES over other emini's such as the YM or ER2?

Is it strategy or liquidity considerations?


Thanks and great thread

1. Liquidity mostly... But any you like or fits your capital is good enough.

2. I'm not in competition for total return performance any more, so I try to be "comfortably good" rather than "leading edge".... Jim Cramer can be a knucklehead at times, but one thing he said is certainly true... "You need to get rich only once".

What information do you use to base your trades? S/R? Patterns? Trend Lines? Anything else?

-Thanks

Oh yes... S/R lines... I also keep an eye on Tick extremes to fade (like, who doesn't know to fade a +1300 Tick?) + standard Stochastic pattern lows patterns... all really basic stuff.
