    losing $80 is 'getting ripped to pieces'? Has your broker ever mentioned to you that futures trading is not suitable for all investors? These are valuable contracts. Even though margins are low, it doesn't mean they are suitable instruments for everybody.

  4. You're putting the cart before the horse.

    Until you 'learn' a mkt instead of jumping around, any gains will be fleeting. Green today, red tomorrow...just watch.

  5. now just focusing in on:

    YM
    Sugar

    ...I like the 'granularity' of the bid/ask spread for both of them...as opposed to ES and yes, even Corn...

    wow...too late to go long Sugar?...YM seems trapped in a range of 20-30 above previous close..comments?

    NoDo hinted at a 20 ma.
    Go long when it hits the ma
    take 10 points and be happy

  8. I've actually been looking for the short signal once it breaks the 20EMA...how would you look for that using the 20EMA?
