Looking at the December contract is kinda throwing me off balance but I would think it's more advantageous to get in at around 85.

Hey bro, I made over 3 grand by trading the AH alone yesterday. Of course, different set of rules and gimmicks apply to AH than RTH. But, overall, it's not as bad as you might think.

BTW, does anybody know how I can trade the KOSPI? People over at IB are saying that the KOSPI is off-limits to foreigners. It would be nice to jump the boat, considering that the Asian market kicks in soon after the US market shuts down.
 
Quote from saliva:

I appreciate your feedback and insight. I usually use the "MIT" order on most of my trades. For the most part, I do pretty damn well of nailing the highs and lows (if you haven't already noticed :D) but do miss them at times by a hair like today. I wish there is an "MIT within x-range" orders that will find the best price within a certain range you specify in advance. Hmm...

Can you create what you are looking for with a buy stop limit order?

For example you can do a BUY STOP Limit with a limit of 1469 and limit of 1467. Your order would not trigger until ES traded at 1469 and then you would not get filled unless you got 1467 or better. So you can use the BUY STOP LIMIT to wake up the order, so to speak and then give a limit in the area where you would go long. Would this work for you?

May be an interesting rollover day with many opps to capitalize...

ES (and YM for that matter) are slated (as of 11:30pm EST anyway) to open within the unfilled gap zone remaining from 9/5/07. New same/similar priced "Z" positions can be put on, filling the gap in the process. 10 ES handles or so (100 YM pts or so) up and/or down from there and "U" positions can be flattened. Well within current trading ranges... The premium is washed and the gap is filled.

Quote from brotherben:

night trading is worst option of all for most, unless we don't have a choice...as far as what the market might do, I could not care less...when it runs a few hundred dollars in my favor a few times during the trading DAY, one car only, i really like that...of course, the big money boys wait for the big game, and they like that ....but for the poor boy, 100 x 2 or 3 cars, x a few times gives a smiley face at end of market day...then sleepy time there are no dreams glory or disaster...only flat.....and happy.....position trding is different compared to overnight playing the market, not much market there emini speaking......to each his own...so don't I care or know what others do...i wish them well also..imho

I'm wicha on this one George, but don't you think you're being a bit modest with your position size here?#!?? :confused:

New York is a big city, and the expectations are a mite bit higher. :D

Saxon22 definitely has the right idea as far as that one is concerned. :cool:

Good trading,

JJ
