Read an article stating that we had not had 9 losing days in a row since 1971. We would have tied the record if not for last weeks miracle day of some small gains before it continued downward.

 

Also, wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any places that allow a minimum of $500 deposit to daytrade emini futures? I am also in the US.

A record breaking week indeed, but nevertheless it will provide long-term traders with some excellent buying opportunties. For example, there are mechanical trading systems that simply take a long position on a stock index when it falls 10% in a month or more and then hold the position for 24 weeks. The results on indices like the Dow Jones or the UK's FTSE 100 are that oveer 60% of these trades are winners and over twice as much money is won than is lost.

 

They say that a fall of 10% is a correction, 20% falls or more often signals the arrival of a new bear market.

 

Corrections need to be seen as opportunites.

I don't believe that is possible.

 

If in the UK you can spread bet but I dont know if there is a similar option open to people in the US. As far as I know most brokers require minimum $500 to $1000 deposit per contract.

 

I may be wrong... as these guys reckon they can do it... Mini Futures Trading, Online Emini Futures Trade Broker

 

I have never used them or heard of them before.

      Scalping System

      By RJo · Posted

      @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...

      What are the biggest lessons you have learned in the corporate world?

      By RJo · Posted

      Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁

      Scalping System

      By aimhi · Posted

      Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.

      Candlestick for profits

      By aimhi · Posted

      In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
