    Notes: I shouldn't have put this trade on because I simply did not have enough time to manage it. I usually leave around 9:45 AM, so I was already running late. Will have to be more careful in the future and not enter any new trades after 9:45 AM.

    Overall:
    ES: -0.50
    NQ: +1.5
    ER2: -0.70

    Notes: My platform had some issues this morning, so I missed out on some good trades.

  2. Welcome to the ER2 world :) be cautious, there can be quick profits as well as many pitfalls with this instrument.

  3. I think it was just my schedule that messed me over. I seriously think the ER2 is an easier instrument to trade than ES. Notice how my Long entry on ER2 is around the same price (but not time) that you entered ER2. Welcome to the Master Trader's club TM :D

    I thought about calling it Fast Capital Management, but then I thought investors might think they'll lose their money FAST :p

    Oasis Capital Management?

    Oasis Cap. Management, LLC is good. Makes one think they have found a safe haven. Little innuendos without breaking the law with implication is good.

  9. I guess "Oasis Capital Management, LLC" has the vote so far.

    Anyone else wanna pitch their idea? C'mon guys...when this fund/LLC gets to managing millions, you'll be able to smile and say "I named that fund!" :D

  10. Just use your name or initials in it. Make it a bit obscure so that it looks like you don't have to have a fancy name or rely on the LLC name to market it. Your results are good enough and all you need to do for marketing is word of mouth.


    FT Capital Management.
