Chaps,
Really appreciate your comments. I would still welcome more suggestions.
I have been sim trading ES today along with YM, and I now understand why most people suggest scrapping the YM and simply trade ES.
However, can I please, please get further suggestions on best times to trade - considering I'm trading from the UK.
Cheers

for the ES between 9:30 am and 4 pm EST although there's usually a lot of vol from 8 am to 9:30 when there are econ reports out. i believe london is 5 hrs ahead of us so 5:30 am to 11 am.
One of the reasons I mentioned 6E is that the volume is often better 2am - 8am (Eastern, U.S.) than it is after 11:30 am. Plus you're in the UK, so trading the EUR would seem like a natural choice. But maybe that's just me.
As for best hours for ES and YM, just have a gander at any chart with volume and see for yourself.
