  1. I like to trade indices and eminis that are busy most days, does anyone have a list of these that I could try?

    I currently trade the ES, fesx, tf emd, fdax, nq, 6e and the Z

    I have noticed that the Z 12-08 has gone very quiet this last 10 days it used t be busy anyone know why?

    Trade is slow in Europe until the USA markets open, does anyone know what markets I could trade from 3am Eastern Time USA to 2.30 pm eastern time USA

  4. Thanks Chuck, I'll try those out.

    Trigger, I ave spent the last 4 months trying a demo account with Ninja Trader, I used to trade stocks with etrade but I am hooked on the indices now as I find them easier to trade. I don't work so have a lot of time to est strategies and stops on different narkets, from 8am Uk time, I spend about 16 hours trading and learning how different markets react.

    That's why I need to know about other markets, I love the fdax, es and TF, the Z 12-08 used to be good until recently, it seems to have gone really quiet.

    Thanks for any advice :)

    Hi Mr Cbuster, thanks for the point, you seem to know things, what is the difference between an index, indice, emini and future?

    Thanks

    ur joking right?

    index = indices. generally refers to an composite index of stocks. eg SP 500, Nasdaq Comp, FTSE 100, etc etc

    e-mini = electronically traded future with smaller point values ($ per contract point) than their "big brother" counterparts. eg ES = mini SP = $50 per point. SP = $250 per point

    future = derivative price instrument based on the anticipated price of some underlying good or commodity on some future date.
