    Looks like volume was pretty good today. I think these micros will be very successful

    Well, that could apply to someone with $50,000 - they may be clueless. A person with $50 may be a far better trader than most, they just don't have the capital.

    While I think at any rate 3 of the agreements will be effective, it doesn't make prospects exchanging suitable for any individual who can spell CME. There is something different that incenses me however...

    It is everything except ensured that exceptionally near 100% of the members will be "retail". So now the conduct of specialist/tenderfoot/white collar class/okay resistance retail swarm is corralled and cathis n be broke down. This "information" may can possibly make expanded instability, and this clueless retail gathering may not endure a negligible come back to unpredictability regularity.

    Huh...Wha? Did you plug your text into the Dilert Jargonator?

    Not sure what your point is, but I can tell you, after watching the price ladder on the front month MNQ, that it ain't just retail. The spoofing and arb has bled to there as well.

  7. OK some hard commission prices on the Micro Dow: $3.50 per contract includes all fees.
    This is with Gain Capital / Global. So 7 ticks to break even.

    Smaller contract encourages swing trading over scalping.

    Tuesday I call to get this lowered. Input welcome.

    I believe there's a sponsor here who clears through Gain, maybe they can give you insight on that.

    You are getting hosed!!

    You can easily get sub $1.00 all-in RT elsewhere with no negotiations! Several firms.
    RT means "Round trip". That's both sides of a trade, an entry and an exit.
    All-in means all fees and commissions included... sub $1.00 all-in RT, per micro-index contract.

    Actually, you aren't getting hosed, you are getting sodomized!!!

    Price Action 6-4-2019 chart 5 min.

    If a trader has a small account here is an example of how to make $155.00 before comm scalping the MES. Depending on a traders RT comm costs he would clear 120.00 to 130.00 in first hour trading.

    Context: Open Gap up. In addition price opens above MA's = buying pressure present.

    Tactic: can go short or long as market settles in but keep in mind long is where the pressure is. If shorting do not follow too far. Safer going long. Can average in or down to losing position but if shorting get out quickly on any profit. Don't attempt to follow too far unless strong bear BO south.

    Position size. Start with 1 contract. Average in on losing position at 1 point loss. Then third and contract fourth at 2 points..5th at around 4 points. Just get profit in wacks of 20 to 60 dollars and get out unless a trader wants to leave a couple runners long.

    PS all bars have bears and bulls active.

    Disclaimer: This is an example and for educational purposes only. Not trading advice. You can lose money trading futures.
