If you want to "day trade" and like the idea of daily gains, no overnight exposure and no "settlement" period, consider eminis...... K1

My first suggestion would be to turn off CNBC. Learn to think for yourself. "Go and tell no man".......

Hmmm...well, I would first ask, what does your trading plan state that you do in this scenario? That should tell you everything you need to know, right?

Thanks for the reply.....My own personal thoughts on trading the NQ, versus the ES or YM are to first note that, as we all know, they all just move a bit different. I never traded the NQ until about 6 months ago. I became turned on to it because of the great fills and the good liquidity. I like to think of the NQ as a combination between the ES and YM. I just trade the NQ like I trade the YM or ES, meaning that I use the same technical indicator and the same trade setup parameters. I just wait for the opportunity to appear. I find also that I like volume charts for the NQ better than time or tick. Price and volume are, in my opinion, about the most important variables that I need to be concerned with, technically. Besides that, intra day trade rates are great for NQ and I just like the way it flows. It is different though (versus YM or ES), but as stated before, flows very nicely, in my opinion. Your thoughts?

Hello all! Just wanted to take a quick moment to say hi! I am new to this website and hopefully I can contribute for the good of the cause. I am an emini trader "little guy" who found out what "works" for me while trading the NQ and ES. Those are the only contracts that I specialize in trading. So many stories and such a long road to get to this point, but I am very proud that I have made it through my first two full years of emini trading. I have an educational emini website up and almost fully running. This site will hopefully assist those of you who are new or who feel confused while trading the eminis. Like I have mentioned to others before..."I wish somebody would have shown me how to do this, or mention why I should not have done that". I just want to share my experiences to others. (Moderator: Sorry, had to remove promotional URL's) Thanks! Keith

For the new emini traders......... I just started up a website that should assist you in preparing for, or re-directing your trading journey. (Moderator: Promotional URL removed) My best point of advice for a new trader is to STOP TRADING NOW if you are losing money. Your performance will not magically turn around. Wishing and "should have would have could have" does not have any place for insertion into your trading plan. My second piece of advice: If you do not have a written trading strategy then, again, STOP TRADING NOW! Conduct your own research and get a plan generated. Regardless if it takes you 6 months to do it, just get it done. Or, you can keep trading and lose all of your money. Thanks.....

Does Anyone Truly Make a Living Solely Trading the E-minis???
TDEMT replied to ktartarotti's topic in E-mini Futures
Interesting stories, that is for sure. I have been trading eminis for 2 full years now and I just finally "figured it out", at least what works for me. I spent a lot of cash going through the usual "newbie route"...buying systems and trading room subscriptions. Nothing worked. What did work was a lot of inner soul searching. Now, I have made the "corner". I started an educational site that tells my story. Check it out. Perhaps it will help some of those out who have a a lot of questions, as I did. The difference was, nobody ever really shared information that helped me. I know that I will make a full time living by successfully trading intra day the emini contracts like ES and NQ. It is all in your head...it is not with flashy cool looking vendor's systems.
