My order;

1) CL

2) FDAX

3) TF

4) Euro

If you want a simple grinder trade the NG.

I don't really care for the way oil patterns, but the 6E futures are decent...

I prefer having my internals and tick averages that get my mind in sync with the market real fast... So I'm sticking with the index futures. Only takes me about 30 minutes to get a feel for whats going on and what the game of the day. Doesn't take as much focus as the others.

What I love about the TF that annoys me about the ES is... You can always trust the TF. It drops when its supposed to, and it rallies when it's supposed to. It doesn't sit around and dawdle... It retraces with precision too.

No nonsense shenanigans on the TF!!! Never seen it... Honest non manipulated market.

If you were trend following CL or TF on Friday it does not get any better. The follow through after trend kick back entries was very strong. Between the two contracts, I had 11 trend following trades Friday and only one was a small loss of 10 ticks in the CL.

I never trade the NQ or YM but those contracts should have had numerous opportunities on Friday. Anyone ever trade the s&p mid-cap index?

RangeTrader * I finally figured out what charting you use. Take a look at DAX one night with your template, you will find all kinds of solid entries.

This makes me laugh. Quite trading index futures and move to stocks. NQ is not any better. And get rid of any fancy green and red indicators you got up on your charts. All you need is candlesticks and volume.

Stocks are a joke. You have to pick 3 maximum and each has it's own personality... It takes months to figure out how to trade each one...

Indices at least pattern in the same way for long periods of time... Sometimes even years!

Futures with 60/40 rule is the best by far. There is no way I can make the money in stocks like I do in CL futures, and with the low amount of capital needed.
