I am being SQUEEZED!!!! by the ES

Why are you looking at the NYSE tick that's more than useless.

I fully disagree......you just have to know HOW to use it (with DTN.IQ feed and only 1 second delay from realtime). This is one of a few market breadth indicators I pay attention too.......btw, do you know what BUY and SELL program patterns look like when they hit in Equities? :)
 
Again NYSE Tick is useless - if you want to do it right get a proper data feed and track the 500 issues only.

price, s&r plus a hint of supply and demand should get the job done.

Jing or Snag it or Camtasia Studio 7 for video.
 
Why do you guys have a problem believing someone is short 67 contracts?

If he said he was short 1000 - then I would say Bullshit. Since I know he trades retail. :]

Nope...I don't like only tracking the 500. I like tracking the BUY/SELL program activity of the entire NYSE for what I do. :)

Also, "market order" driven order flow tracking in the ES is ALWAYS going to tell me the futures reaction to Equities activity just as fast as anything else. :)

Quote from jd7419:

I agree a valuable lesson is being tought to be would be traders. I had to go through this and I am sure every good trader on this board has as well. These days I am happy making 2-3000 not 40,000. With those 40,000 days came alot of big down days and big heart aches that hurt my wife and daughter. Consistency is key in this business. Consistent wins is impossible but consistent following of a daily hard loss limit is totally achievable.

I have the same outlook on trading. I try to stay away from big trades and generally do not go with more than 4 to 8 cars, 16 being a once a month set up. Like I said I got cought with my pants down. If it were not for vacations I would not worry much since I think the market will return to 1200 in January. I just do not want to hold onto this trade through the Christmas period as I am going to see my family and wanted the time to be completely off from trading.
One of the reasons I have increased the size to 67 cars was to be able to get out of it asap with some profit keeping only a couple of cars in play till 12/15.
 
Why would you care what 100's of companies with less 100 Million market cap are doing. Please explain.

If your trading the S&P 500 does it not make sense to have a custom TICK tracking the 500 companies only.
