IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

[Snowman75]

I only trade the YM (Dow e-mini). $5 per point. So if you make 10 points that's $50. I prefer it to ES (although I haven't traded the ES) because 1 ES point = 10 YM points but 1 ES point breaks into 0.25, 0.5, 0.75. The more broken down the better I can manage the trade both on the profit and on the loss side. You can't get out at +8 / -8 on ES.
Plus I just feel comfortable with it and comfort is important.
