What is it Illegal to shot 1es and same time go long 1es in a different account
Is there some kind of advantage we have when we do that
Accourding to my stradgey Technique i think we have a edge and trading 1 ES long and 1 es shot we can average and find a right entry and exit
What do you,ll think
 
If you are short 1 contract in one account and long 1 contract in a different account your net position is 0, why would you bother setting up two accounts to do this? It doesn't make any sense. Just do it in one account.
 
I can think of several strategies that can work by being both long/short at the same price and then closing the wrong side of the breakout and letting the other position ride.

But is it really illegal? I have read this in the past but never got a straight answer.

If you are trading 2 different strategies, say a trend following and a counter trend strategy, it is very likely that they will be on opposite sides of the market. Whether you do it in 1 or 2 accounts has no effect on the results though.
 
Well it all depend in how you trade
like today i am long 1269 ( 2 contract on es and shot 1 contract on Ym 11095 based on the price action
and depending on what happens in can breakeven even or make $200 to $300 a day which is not bad with very little risk.
less draw down , can scalp also to take advantage of the situtation.
now i am planing to try a new stradgey on es long es shot was just wondering since brokr and many other pll told me it is illegal and even if a person make 6 figures he can be invistagated
or an inquire can start
