Does anyone have a screen shot or a link to a futures layout? I have 6 19" monitors and currently trade through CyberTrader. I haven't been able to see what others use for TA and the layouts that work for others. I would have no problem sharing my layout if anyone is interested, just curious what is working for others.
I must admit I like trading the e-minis much better than equities; even after getting my a$$ kicked late today holding a short at eod. I started off small yesterday trading 2 contracts and did a total of 4 r/t trades and 3 winners. I then started off this morning with 4 r/t winners and decided to step it up to 4 contracts. My stops got taken out on a short and then I lost focus and fought the tape into the close. Maybe I need to stay back trading the 2 contracts? I was pulling .50 off the 2 contracts and setting a 2.0 stop loss which I felt comfortable with. Nothing wrong with clearing $40 per 1/2 to 1 hour but then decided to increase to 4 contracts and when I got taken out twice on the 4 contracts it set me back $$$ and mentally. I want to clear minimum of $500 per day and trying to see if I have to trade more than 2 to accomplish that. I figured my 2 contract trades where working and so stepped it up and got hit for it.
