Time Decay: loser bet. No time decay in SSF, you'd be amazed the peace of mind that gives you after trading options.
indahook, could you please post a chart of how you traded S/R on 5min today? im just trying to learn how to trade a range day.
I would if I could...but I cant. I use AT attitude for futures and have no idea how to get the chart to display here...I will tell you this though....open up S+P futures chart using 5 minute candles..then run a fibbonaci retracement from the candle at 9:10am (real body, no shadow) and down to the one at 11:25..you will see exactly what I have traded off of today....if you can tell me how to get my charts to display here I would be happy to do so C.
I use Interactive Brokers. Here are some others you could use, from a list provided on www.onechicago.com ("Find A Broker") Security futures can be traded in either a securities account or a futures account maintained by either a securities broker or a futures commission merchant. Institutions and traders should inquire directly with their current broker or may contact one of the firms already connected to OneChicago, such as those listed below.

all afternoon. I deserve it -- haven't been chopped up like that in a long time. Today was the first losing day of the month for me. Low volume, sloppy, and choppy all day -- was profitable up until the afternoon session where I just gradually pissed it away. -- in retrospect, should've spent the pm snapp'in one off. dog
There's always (or at least about 95% of the days) a profit in the market and today is one of those 95% if you just have the proper system and the discipline to stay with it.
Ditto The last few days, mornings were great afternoon sucks. After lumch, I just churn and churn. Don't matter, I'm just trying various stocks out for the hell of it.
