$1,000 and emini index futures

  1. Why ask us what we would do...?
    What would YOU do?

    Ultimately, I think it all depends on which market you enjoy watching the most.

    There are some markets I just dont enjoy (like the Tbonds).

    Trade the market you feel most comfortable with first, then figure out a system for yourself. We all have different systems that may or not work for us.

    Good luck.

  3. I still have a possible short side objective of 1424.00.

    Lets hope youre right though, everyone loves a bullish market! ;)

  8. in attachment is an example of couples of false support breack outs, but even in such "false" break out you can trade it with reasonable stop (not "scalping" stop)

    can u give me some advices about my trading style ?
    as you can see , 90% of my trading are short
    i think it's more easy for me to know where it gonna fall.
    i dont know , i have also some problems with my positions because when i make an order, the trade doesnt go quickly on the side i see it , when i short it always go up for ten points and then it falls, i have some problems with stop because i dont want to be stopped when i know that it gonna fall but when it goes up for 10 points if i make a stop it will catch it and then i lose my trade :)
    i dont use any of technical indicator , only resistance support
    pivots point bollinger kellner and ma

    i dont know if you understand my problems now?

    thanx for any advice
