Trade ER2 (emini Russell 2000) solely or most of the time?
- Thread starter increasenow
- Start date
thanks!
I trade ER2 exclusively for a living. Catching momentum turns using profit targets is my generalized methodology. Not sure it matters what size I trade as that is specific to each person's account balance and risk appetite.
I like the small tick size (0.10) and its volatility. I personally have had no problems entering or exiting trades.

thanks..exactly what I was looking for!
increase - do you have a new idea daily of what to trade and/or where? Seriously. You should learn to focus on one market and start trading it instead of starting a new thread here daily about what markets to trade, how to trade them, etc. Get out of the kiddie pool and and at least get your foot wet.
I am seriously asking serious questions...trying to glean all the wisdom I can...not trying to waste anyones time at all...I do agree...focus must be on 1-2 contracts..thanks Browns Fan...I'm with you!

I exclusively trade the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 futures.
As to what I look for intraday...generally speaking I'm looking for changes in supply/demand and I can see such changes via volatility analysis.
How do I handle the volatility?
Lets put it this way, I have a strong opinion that the best way to trade ER2 is via a volatility base methodology even though I have met a few traders that are very profitable trading ER2 without using a volatility based methodology.
I can trade anywhere between 1 to 10 contracts depending upon the type of price action.
S/R zones is a good place to start with ER2. However, there are dozens of different ways of designating what is a s/r zone.
