That definitely sucks! :( -FastTrader :eek:
Yea...weather's getting better. -FastTrader :cool:
Dave, have you ever had this happen where you saw a good opportunity to go Long and flipped it, and it looked like a good short? Sounds very odd...
Panther, yes I trade through IB. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, but I get in various positions as I see them, so the basket...
I currently don't trade any e-mini, and still watch the ES and NQ for a heads-up on overall market direction. -FastTrader :)
I don't seem to be having any issues with the 'market'. Maybe you should stop blaming the 'market' and adjust your trading to work with the...
Even less volume; narrower ranges... Actually, I think the market isn't all that bad right now. And you mentioned you trade NYSE listed and...
Could be worse. -FastTrader :p
When starting out in e-minis, should one begin with trading the ES or NQ? -FastTrader :cool:

I think you still got it wrong. If the offer is at 996.00, then you would place your buy limit at 996.25 or 996.50. 1-2 ticks ABOVE the offer...
Oops, you did it again....:p -FastTrader :D
I haven't really experience any problems shorting a stock. -FastTrader :)
panther, like I said, I don't know which stocks I'll be trading til a couple of minutes into the open. Entry points on each stock are different,...
Panther, problem is I don't have a set basket of stocks I trade every morning so I don't think IB's basket feature would help me at all....
Hmm, I would just use the 5min for the main entry/exit signal, and then look over at the 1min to fine-tune the entry. For example, if you get a...
Funky, why not look at the 5 min. and 1 min. at the same time? I use the 10, 5, and 1 min. while trading. -FastTrader :cool:
Btw, I think taking positions in multiple stocks is a better way to go. That way, even if you get stopped out on half your trades, the other half...
