Trade E-mini on E*Trade...

Quote from winter:

There is nothing technically unfeasible in your plan. Its as simple as it looks to buy and sell. The market is very liquid and the tools and brokers are plentiful.

Knowing when to buy and when to sell is the hard part.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure there isn't some aspect of future trading I was missing... hopefully I can compile some more data and formulate a good entry and exit plan..... so does stockfecther or any other of the sites have backtesting available for the emini series?
 
Quote from ZebProctor:

saves the after hours pullback? I guess there is no afterhours so I should stop looking at this from a security aspect?

It's tough to figure an entry point and exit when almost everyday I have data for is an up day.....

No, you are correct - the market can shift overnight so if that is the reason you dont want to hold overnight its valid, as long as you consciously are aware of why you are doing it.

Yeah, the two main reasons I, and I guess most people sell before close is to shield themselves from possible bad news overnight, and the margin requirements, such as to avoid equity calls, but I'm guessing that with futures, you don't have the same margin restrictions as with securities.
