Seeking futures products to trade outbreaks

What would be good products to trade outbreaks/breakouts in the futures market ? Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

You definitely need something with a lot of range. HSI is your best bet.

 

What is HSI ?

 

Ripley is doing a google search right now. Stay tuned.

 

I am eating lunch.

HSI stands for Hong Skong Index and it is the Index for Hong Kong. It has all the top stocks for Hong Kong. And it is open from 6 pm to 3 am EST

 

Jesus, every word you type is just wrong, its unbelievable. The "Hong Skong" WTF is that? Read some more books then start posting.

Oh I am staying on your back all day Rip.

 

Question now is, this HSI thing and the Crude, are they on TT ? I mean what exchanges are these traded on ?
Please forgive me if my questions show ignorance.

 

Its OK.. n00bs are supposed to be ignorant and gullible.

You can trade HSI through IB, and last time I checked the margin to trade 1 contract was around $3000.


You can trade the E-mini version of Crude Oil from the NYMEX and the symbol is QM. The margin usually is around $1000 and is broker specific

 

Here is a start!
I strongly suggest you "papertrade" first.
