I've been trading stock for years and I am interested in learning how to trade E-Minis and Dow minis. Any suggestions on how I should start and where can I learn the basic fundamentals of trading them? Any good books?
Hey Rick, Just curious.. How do you trade.. Off of fundemantals or are you strictly a technical trader?? Also, have you had success trading stocks???
started trading the minis about 2 months ago, i prev. traded stocks, what i did was started trading the ETF's spy, dia, qqq. and watched the minis. once i felt comfortable trading the etf's i started on the minis. and haven't gone back to stocks since.
There is a ton of stuff on this ET website. Also the internet has a lot of information on this. Google it. A great place to start is www.cme.com They trade VERY differently than stocks and ETFs. There is a lot of wiggle to endure on every trade. Not for the nervous. But the leverage of this vehicle is matchless. Plus favorable tax treatment.
Come hang in the Elite Trader Chat room -the nice folks there know everything about the eminis -- just ask them ...\\ Actually, BobCathy is pointing you to a great site.
Thanks for the advice guys. I am successful at trading stock I just need to expand my knowledge base. I'm gonna check out bobcathy's link and dabble in the ETF's Thanks again!
