Mav: <i>Even our resident active TSTer Austin has made this comment time and time again. Now while it's true these traders also broke TST rules...
now stop that, sit patiently and trust you will eventually see what you need to see. More often than not, the market will reward you if your edge...
Long 100.50+ and/or long 100.70+ were both buy signals off the "headfake" failed-down waggle just past the pit open. Then following top failure...
No matter, I was just surprised to see what was long forgotten. Like I said, about a month ago I was adding a chart tool with similar name while...
Ya know, it was probably not long past that time when I dropped floor trader pivots from my charts. About a month ago I was looking at them on...
Dude... you just ran across an article from May 2008... as in six years ago now? You definitely need to get out more! <lol>
Russell is not available in combines and I assume you are correct with the added fees, etc. CME and CBOT have numerous products, ICE only has one...
lull in volatility... in particular contracted ranges for CL intraday. Had two-three weeks of great volatility across the board, otherwise only NQ...

Sure there is... a damn good reason. It's day eight, nine or ten and you are behind the mandated profit minimum. Fail to reach that and you lose....
THAT IS MY POINT!!!! an arbitrary 10-day or 20-day stretch with minimum profit mandates means nothing. So why add the minimum profit mandate as...
A 50k combine requires +$350 averaged daily result. That's easy as sin in a volatile market and impossible in a dead market. Doesn't matter which...
You and others missed my point: the end result was net profitable. Very much so, on a yearly basis. The fact that it did not meet TST combine...
Nasdaq 100 or Russell 2000 eminis for any individual futures trader are my suggestions. ES is the toughest and CL is a different league of...
Yes, we agree. And whether that means day trading or swing trading is equally true. I am here in this conversation speaking from a perspective of...
swing trading certain instruments has advantages over day-trading, and certain instruments have disadvantages. For example, you might guess...
