    Almost any broker will give you 1 month paper trading for free, probably more if you ask. I advise you to use C2, that will be the best 100 bucks spent on education and money management...

  3. so, i opened a papertrading account at think or swim.
    thanks to tasker_182 for the tip
    will still be trying to use the entry concept for this
    http://www.trading-naked.com/FloorTraderMethod.htm

    but exits will be high or low of the next 5min- bar after the entry bar
    for 1 contract (so out in the 3rd bar) move stop to b/e for the second+ if followthrough move, out at next reversal
