E-Mini Chatroom

Recommended Posts

My employer has given me permission to trade the e-mini since it is not an instrument I currently trade and falls outside office hours.

 

Are there any chatrooms that you guys use on this forum.

 

Thanks

There is a very good, very inexpensive, very friendly room that trades the ES using trade decision support technologies that denote precise order flow in several time frames. They trade currencies, ES and crude.

 

The room is inexpensive and they offer a $5 5 day trial. Trading Addicts shows real time charts and the moderator shares his trades with members.

Is this chatroom affiliated w/ you Pat? Very curious use of wording that a google search comes right back to your linkedin profile.

 

You wouldn't post a link to a site where you are going to benefit from and not tell the TL community, would you?

Brownie & Tams,

 

I do, indeed, recommend TradingAddicts as a trading room. It is true that they run their room using my software.

 

I don't recommend the room because they use my software, there are others - I recommend them because I beleive they offer better than fair value to their subscribers.

 

Neither of you have any knowledge of their product or its value.

 

The height of form over substance and an exhibit of a complete lack of intellectual integrity is to attack the person without any knowledge of the topic/product. You guys should check out the room before you bash me for recommending it.

 

That I have long since been outed as a vendor does not mean that I can neither make recommendations that might have value or that I might add content of value to the forum.

UrmaBlume

there is nothing wrong being a vendor.

I have bought from vendors,

eg. my trading software was purchased from MultiCharts, a vendor and sponsor of this site.

 

You, are different.

Being a vendor is not a sin.

Being a sly vendor is.

Once you are exposed as a stealth vendor,

anything you say,

any product/service you recommend,

is suspect.

 

This is just fair game.

 

 

ps. the least you could do was to include a disclaimer when you made that recommendation.

 

pps. well, I don't know if that's going to do you any good, because even if that's not your room, you are still associated with them because they use your software.

Tams,

 

First, I have no equity in the room and if I did, how would that matter? Next - OP asks for room recommendations.

 

I recommend the room and figure that most thinking individuals would judge my recommendation by the quality of the content in my posts and judge the room by the quality of their product. The rest is form over substance and getting a little anal about all this vendor biz.

 

I greatly respect your posts that help with programming. I have no respect for sarcastic 2 liners with no representation, understanding or relation to the topic.

 

The topic was a request for room recommendations and this post and your post couldn't be further from it. These posts should be about rooms and what we think is good or bad about them individually, not what you do or don't like about the individual.

 

So, again - I recommend Trading Addicts. This post notes Eric Utley of Trading Addicts

to be one of "The 10 Traders Who Influenced Me the Most." The poster is another vendor who like me has no equity in the room.

 

Let content and on topic rule - the rest of this content Nazi business doesn't aid either flow or sharing.

I did not accuse you of having an equity in the room.

You are associated because you (and/or your product/service) are directly or indirectly involved in it.

You do not understand business ethics, and you don't want to learn, maybe you should stay with playing poker.

 

I greatly respect your posts that help with programming. I have no respect for sarcastic 2 liners with no representation, understanding or relation to the topic.

I have no respect for people who can think, but don't.

(note that I did not say I have no respect for people who don't think)

I have no respect for people who has no respect for the teacher who fed him.

I have no respect for people who are not upfront.

I have no respect for people who bait.

I received an email that said "Long time no see" so I decided to pop in and look around as it has indeed been awhile since I've visited. Also, thank you TL for the Happy Birthday message a few weeks ago.

 

Now on to the post that caught my eye - E-Mini Chatroom.

 

It caught my eye because I just so happen to have one. I want to be up front and out in the open with that. If this post runs afoul of any TL Guidelines I sincerely apologize and ask that the moderator simply make the post go away.

 

We trade the ES and YM primarily, along with a bit of Euro 6E.

 

We've been around for 6 years. We run a tight ship with no profanity, no angry guru's and no snarky commentary. On occasion you may find us to be informative, enlightening, and even funny. We are a close knit community but our doors are open to everyone from all walks of life and all skill levels from novice to pro are welcome.

 

We call all trades before they are placed not after the fact. We trade live money in a live market. We are not the best traders on the planet nor do we claim to be. What we are is consistent. To become a part of our family does cost real money. I will use that money to pay my mortgage, my electric bill, and do good works just like any other business owner.

 

However, we do give a 1 week free trial. That's 2 hours a day in a live trading environment for 5 days. Along with watching us trade, you also get a demo platform with live not delayed data for all futures contracts and currencies. There is also a simulator so you can trade along with us.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me here on the forum via private message. Again, if this post runs afoul of TL Policy or community spirit please delete. This is not a vague or clever way to spam the thread. It is simply an honest answer to the original question.

 

Thanks to TL for providing a forum that is an excellent breeding ground for new thoughts, ideas and approaches to trading.

 

Blessings

DeWayne

Re: E-Mini Chatroom

Do you daytrade or swing trade?

I do both. For years my personal focus has been to always be flat at the end of the day. No exceptions! There were 2 reasons behind my thinking

 

#1) I like to sleep

#2) Overnight margins are huge

 

Well, #1 hasn't changed. However I believe that Globex is now less of a shadow market than it once was. A stop loss on the overnight in the S&P 500 gets just as much respect as it does during the day session. #2 hasn't changed either. However, what I didn't know for quite a while is this -

 

When the market re-opens at 4:30 pm EDT the "new day" officially begins. In other words, if I am flat at 3:15 Chicago time, and re-enter the market at 3:30 CDT, I am subject to day margins and not overnight margins. So now that I am able to trade confidently on Globex with $500 margins and not $5,000 margins, I have become a wee bit of a Swing Trader.

 

I guess I'll always be a scalper at heart and that's how I view every trade when I put it on, but with age comes grace and the ability to embrace new possibilities.

 

For anyone who is new to Emini Futures trading it is important to know the difference and to also do a little soul searching to figure out who you are as a trader.

 

There is no "one size fits all" but there is a size to fit us all. We just need to find it.

There's a free room on Paltalk with "price action" in the title.

 

...if you're bored. Trading the CL, the last thing I need is to take my eye off of that chart to read someone else's opinion to possibly decrease confidence in mine.. Last time I checked, this wasn't a team sport.

Steve,

Either you posted to the wrong thread or I inadvertently touched a hot spot. If I did please forgive me. I believe that one of the reasons this site - Traders Laboratory - is so popular is because of the hive-mind mentality. Each of us have unique gifts in different areas of our lives. It's when we come together as a community to share those ideas that we can truly accomplish wonderful things because we are no longer dependent on simply our own strength but the strengths of many.

 

Here's an old story you may be familiar with -

 

There was a blind man who has a healthy body to walk and a disabled person who has very good eyes to see. Neither of them alone can do much for himself. But when the disabled person climbs on the shoulders of the blind man, together they can travel and achieve their goals easily. Similarly, the body alone can do nothing for itself. It is like a log unable to move or do anything by itself except to become a subject of impermanence, decay and death. The mind itself can do nothing without the support of the body. When we mindfully watch both body and mind, we can see how many wonderful things they do together.

 

The only drawback for the new trader is that he allows himself to become dependent on a "Guru" to do his thinking for him. That is in and of itself a most ugly snare. We must all take responsibility for our own thoughts and trades. That said, it is often the humble teacher who learns the greatest lesson.

 

"Of whom much is given, much is required."

 

Blessings

DeWayne

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
