I only trade the YM (Dow e-mini). $5 per point. So if you make 10 points that's $50. I prefer it to ES (although I haven't traded the ES) because 1 ES point = 10 YM points but 1 ES point breaks into 0.25, 0.5, 0.75. The more broken down the better I can manage the trade both on the profit and on the loss side. You can't get out at +8 / -8 on ES. Plus I just feel comfortable with it and comfort is important.
one trade today...soybeans +.0075...really thought it was going to head below the prev close of 9.4275...not yet...
currently on trading 'radar'... Soybeans miniDow ...interesting...it looks to me like the miniDow is wanting to 'sell off' today?
lost -$348 trading the YM and Soybeans...not fun...overtraded...hmmm...not giving up though...comeback time!
