E-Mini Chatroom

[xioxxio 10]

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?

$5 trial?

 

you are desperate, aren't you?

 

Steidlmayer must be laughing his head off by now.

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.

[UrmaBlume 10]

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.

You still don't understand... so we will continue to teach you.

do you use tradestation?

[UrmaBlume 10]

do you use tradestation?

 

Yes, we have been using and developing in TradeStation since long before it was TradeStation.

[cfrn 10]

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

Do you daytrade or swing trade?

[cfrn 10]

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.

[steveh2009 10]

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.

[cfrn 10]

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
