weekly chart volatility restriction... shit is about to go down soon one way or the other..
most breakouts on ES get faded these days, true. imho 2 things will help: 1. If you're in on a breakout, it breaks out with a good volume...
also check out MBTrading they now have NQ/ES $4.5 RT, YM $4 RT. No platform fee, no minimums. However, they only trade 9:30-16:15 for eminis,...
2 19" CRT's @ 1600x1200. Smooth, clear, no problem. LCD waste of money. Use the cash to buy beer.
try ER2 (russell 2000 emini). awesome swings, good risk/reward ratios, smooth movement. due to its large swings expect much larger profits and...
I personally think that the best solution (for an equities trader) is to go remote with a prop firm. You get the leverage, you get the good rates,...
CalTrader is right. I now trade futures and rarely make more than 2 trades a day. I capture larger intraday moves. My win/loss ratio is ranging...

Soesman, They could instate a desk fee for low volume traders. This way things are clearer in advance. They could do a lot of things.. but as...
I heard there's going to be a total user interface revamp in eSignal 8. Maybe they'll provide workspaces too. I for one don't use these anyway.
