Scalped a few times on that run up for some demo bucks. It's easy when it doesn't cost you anything to be wrong. LOL!

Could be another "Trump And Dump". Hard to tell these days. Be safe these next couple of days. The market has priced in an interest rate drop but I kind of doubt the FED will deliver (personal opinion). If it doesn't look out below.

Rollover days.... bah humbug! I think its the markets way of giving people a good reason to take a three day weekend. LOL! Today's volume is split between June and September contracts. 110k on September 130k on June at this point. Should be almost ...

Tough day all around for futures. Playing with some demo accounts testing different charting software. I think yesterday's horrible ADP employment numbers have the market spooked for tomorrows NFP. Could be weird until after it comes out.

Going to switch things up a bit beginning next week. Other obligations are keeping me from spending much time in front of the charts so I am going to switch to the 4 hour chart and trade from there. By doing that, I only need to check the screens ...

At 6'8" tall and about 310 lbs at the time: Bench: 407 Deadlift: 520 Squat: Never did well in the squat. Always fought leaning too far forward. 365 was my best. Never competed, just did it for the rush.

Futures was never a source of income for me. It was a new endeavor. I have no plans on returning to the "workforce". If you have a job, you are a slave to the system designed to keep you from reaching your full potential. A job is where you go and ...

Ok, first trade out of the way. Small 2.6 pips of profit. Exited early but I am good with the decision. I closed it when I saw price rejecting off of the white line on the graph below. Things are trying to set up to go long but it seems really weak. ...

With less than 19 pips of total range since market opened last night there literally have been no set ups for me to trade. Stick to the rules even if it means no trades for the day. Even if I don't take a trade, I will still add the $5 before ...

Unfortunately life and a number of bad decisions has caused me to end my trading of futures. I closed my account yesterday. Even with the new micro contracts I found myself trading in fear of loss mode which is never a good thing. I will return to ...

Check your fan and pump curves. Most systems have a way of modifying or at least looking at how the fans and pump ramp up with temperature. If you can change them, temporarily set them to go max with even a small temp change. This will allow you to ...

Switch your chart to where you are seeing the bid price and not the last price. Looks much better that way.

Been trading them through NinjaTrader. Spreads a little wider but not unbearable. 1-4 ticks instead of 1-2 with the full size contracts. Good volume when compared to M6E. No issues with fills, tested up to 7 in a single purchase. They are 1/10 the ...

I sure hope you were on the right side of that 200+ tick spike a little while ago. Otherwise that could have been a major account crusher and probably was for many people. All the best to you.

Little tip for trading the Micro's. Don't use a chart that is set to "Last" for the data series. Change it to "Bid" or "Ask". You will get a much cleaner picture of what is going on since the volume is so low.
