A quiet day for me it was. i took a couple of trades and then went on to other matters. I may try to put on a trade or two Sun night. Totl = + 9 <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1480862> Ive noticed that during the past year there seems to be an increasing interest in trading the YM. That could be partially because of the low performance bond required by most brokers. As well, there seems to be more people with no or little experience and little capital and uninformed expectations of making money wanting to "trade".
for those who havent seen it, here is the link to a closed thread about trading index futures. If you're new, it maybe a good starting point for you. You may see the ideas expressed in that thread as the "SPM" refered to sometimes in ET. rj http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76297

Hey all, WOW!...look at this...the least risky emini to trade is the...)drum roll please :eek: )...the NQ emini Nasdaq...let me explain...I am basing this off the ATR average true range per day and potential loss of 1 contract traded per day... Okay here we go: MOST RISKY: ER2...ATR is 10.67 and (greatest)loss would be $1,067 VERY RISKY: ES...ATR is 11.63 and (greatest) loss would be $581.50 RISKY: YM...ATR is 98 and (greatest) loss would be $490.00 LEAST RISKY: NQ...ATR is 21.39 and (greatest) loss would be $427.80 ...we'll very interesting...what do you think?....very surprising...yes, very surprising...I would really take this to heart as you are beginning to trade emini's...of course this is my opinion...what do all of you think???
Hey Increase ... Yeah, sure seems to me ER2 is usually the most volatile and NQ the least volatile on typical day. Ive gotten my a$$ handed to me couple of times in the ER2 - real quick. rj
