You have a third option, trade futures. Have a look at the NQ, ES, and YM. No trading limits and you can short just as easily as long. More...
If I understand correctly, a bullet is a buy of a certain number of shares at a tick up from the current bid. The idea is that you want to short...
Go get a night job, and start slowly in trading. It takes a while to learn the ropes, and trying to do it under the pressure of needing to make a...
I've used it a few times (On the NQ), seems to work like a charm. I think the rules are similar to nasdaq rules in that you have to have two bids...
I have about 50 round trips under my belt in the YJ's, they have wide spreads but are tradeable (Especially on a 5 minute tick chart). The trick...
I'm very curious to watch this system play out. If you can average 3 to 5 points a day, you will watch your profits sky rocket. On top of this,...
I trade E-mini NQ's and ES's. I played around with the YJ's on the ACE, but to no avail. I trade these for 3 reasons: 1) Liquidity 2) Capital...
I consider a firm profit to be a point or two, but I wait till the market is out a few more points than that to allow for some wiggle. I'm happy...
Here is an approach that I use that seems to work well. I wait till 9am CST (10 am EST) and then I look at the first half hour trading range. I...
Seeing as how you generate 10,000 in commission, you must be a big player. Now, I've read that no matter who your broker is, you should always...
Head on over to their chat boards and you will find that stop orders at IB are a known headache. I trade e-minis, and stop orders never seem to...
Yeah, that would be better :) My thinking on the 3 point stop was that I wanted to let the MACD be my main exit point after the +2 profit, and...
Yeah, I definitely feel the need to get back to the roots. Like you said earlier, tinkering can kill you.
Yeah, that's my fear. Lately, we've seen some great volatility. My thinking is to apply this on a longer range scale, using 5 minute intervals. I...
I risk 3 points, to give my self wiggle room. I have 3 exits. 1) 3 point loss 2) MACD crosses back across the MACD EMA 3) +2 points. Today,...
I was up by 1.75 for the day. I was up early by about 7 points, wasted that lead by 6.25 points, then got two .5 point gains. Not great, but ended...
Why even bother getting a job. You are your own person. No boss to deal with, no office politics, no corporate scandal causing you to get laid...
I mean a 1 minute time frame.
You could long the future in one account, and short it in another account, to achieve your strategy. Nothing illegal with that as far as I can see.
I have been using MACD (12,26,7) on a minute by minute tick for the NQ and ES futures (Nasdaq-100 mini and the S&P 500 mini on the globex). So far...
