IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

Quote from Fireplace:

For your sake, you better hope so. Unless you have unlimited funds, you are going to run out before you get 'in the zone'
agreed...I have 2 lawns to cut this Saturday just in case...just kidding :D
 
Quote from increasenow:

got ripped to pieces on it yesterday and thinking probably better to stay with Corn as has lower volatility and high-low range...better to 'get winning' on some contract...

losing $80 is 'getting ripped to pieces'? Has your broker ever mentioned to you that futures trading is not suitable for all investors? These are valuable contracts. Even though margins are low, it doesn't mean they are suitable instruments for everybody.
 
You're putting the cart before the horse.

Until you 'learn' a mkt instead of jumping around, any gains will be fleeting. Green today, red tomorrow...just watch.

FOCUSNOW

:D

Quote from increasenow:

just made 1 point trading Sugar...at least in the 'green' today so far...
 
now just focusing in on:

YM
Sugar

...I like the 'granularity' of the bid/ask spread for both of them...as opposed to ES and yes, even Corn...

wow...too late to go long Sugar?...YM seems trapped in a range of 20-30 above previous close..comments?

Trade the range

NoDo hinted at a 20 ma.
Go long when it hits the ma
take 10 points and be happy

I've actually been looking for the short signal once it breaks the 20EMA...how would you look for that using the 20EMA?

Whar ever time frame you are using go short below the bar that breaks and closes below the ma
