  4. Of course, trade frequency is dependent on method and time frame. And unless increasenow is trading in a similar fashion, then any comparison he draws is about as useful as comparing apples to oranges.

    I trade stocks, which seems to require more $$ than trading e-minis. I'm planning to explore it though.

  10. Increasenow, seriously, stop with the questions. What anyone else does is really of no matter to you. Is it any wonder you haven't sat down for a whole day of trading yet?

    Seriously, you may have ADD or some other attention disorder and I'm sorry if its really hard for you to buckle down. It's easy to ask question after question after question. Its hard to spend 6 1/2 hrs everyday watching the market and then working several more hours after the close for review.

    Do the work! I can't stress this enough. If you don't, this exact date 5 years from now will have you right here asking how many "cars" so and so throws at the ES.
