Markets of choice for serious day traders

Anyone here trading the TF?

 

Waiting for it to come to cme, will take another look then.

 

Why is that? What's wrong with it on ice, what do you expect will change with cme?

 

I trade the TF - not exclusively. I liked it a lot better before it was cut in half- it used to range approx $2,000 per day, those were the days.

 

It was a beast as the old ER on the CME.

 

Nothing wrong with it, just have enough products on cme to keep me busy and I don't like how they switched to making everybody pay pro data rates awhile back.

 

On stocktwits there is almost no interset in the TF even on monstrous trending days like today.

 

Yeah I'll trade it in July when it hits cme but not touching it on Ice.

 

Yep. Overnight bullish gap on the open followed by 6 consecutive 5M bear bars to start the day...hasn't happened in months - right then you could stick a fork in the equity bulls today.

I also like the gold-mining ETFs when everything else is dead (DUST, NUGT, JNUG, GDX)...tax treatment is worse than futures, but they have some really nice intraday swings.

 

Assume you mean rth close to rth open gap?
