Quote from dete49:
I would like to start trading the emini gold or silver contracts there are severall different ones and my question is.Which ones have the most liquidity or a couple good ones to start watching.Thanks
Unfortunately, I still find the ZI too thin to trade actively, but the ZG is doable.
For emini gold (33oz) (YG) and silver (1000oz) (YI), follow the front month which right now is April gold (YGJ), and May silver (YIK).
AS far as liquidity, YG is more liquid than YI. But plenty of liquidity in both.
If you are interested in the full size contracts, the symbol for GOLD is ZG (100oz), ZI for silver (5000oz)

I've been watching silver and made a few trades, and found YI, and ZI to a lesser extent, to be liquid enough to get about 10-50K oz done at the inside opposite the resistance, as long as you don't mind paying a spread of about 1-2 cents. Trying to scalp/trade inside that spread is a real pain - there's nowhere near enough natural order flow - you constantly are getting pennied (actually milled - tick size is 0.001).

( 1-2 YG or YI should do the trick while you are learning )
find a time zone that makes sense for you
to trade and become profitable
before you try any size else people like me
or the locals on the floor
will pick your pockets
if you can figure out where the market is
when trading these you will have a chance
good luck to you

can anyone suggest reading/information on specific inputs into a basic gold model? i think i'm going to fork over the hundred bucks for nybot's dollar index and start there. too bad we don't have an electronic copper contract
