    What ever happened to the ever-optimistic and prolific increasenow? No posts since Sept of last year.

  6. volume is all relative really, when your trading big cash you cant buy at one price anyways, so you end up averaging down/up So who cares what the volume is. as long as there is enough to get in and out

    TF is a beautiful thing but you have to be able to handle swings more. One point stops will kill you. It pays better than YM, ES or NQ i.e. if you can predict which direction the market is moving, usually TF will make a slightly longer move. But of course, this cuts both ways.

  10. "if you can predict which direction the market is moving" - let me stop you - no one can. but even assuming you could it wouldn't matter if you were trading TF b/c you're limited to how much money you can throw at it b/c it's illiquid compared to ES.
