So next week I'll attempt posting trades / charts etc as ideas are happening, in real time.
A lot of updates coming here to Ibox, just figure out how to do it, as well as the activity on this forum.
Sounds good, I'll do some updating this weekend. Cheers
Like what you have going here. i will have to do some research on futures and read your posts again. Will follow board to see how you are doing and maybe i can donate something of value in the future.

oh for sure !! no doubt, i will update a bunch of stuff this week/weekend. Happy trading to you as well !
I try to but it is impossible most of the time.
It is ok to post little delayed trades.
We are not in any competition, we are just sharing views.
At least there will be some thing to share.
Good luck and happy trading.
Trying to figure out best way to do this, will post charts etc with examples of real trades etc , hard to post in real time all the time some trades happen pretty fast. I'll figure it out
I like your board set up.
Please share your trade with us and reasoning behind trades, when you have time.
Thanks.

these setups are insane, and the buying power needed to make money is very kind to smaller accounts. don't need 100k buying power in futures lol.
Good morning, with oil under $30 should make for an interesting Friday. If we find some active buyers, then nice spike, but Friday's usually sell off (after mid day) as people unloading positions into the weekend. Fade all day? We will see. Trade smart, wait for the setups and attack! GL today!
you can scalp 5-10 ticks with size many times a day, full in full out , or can scale out, or can try to catch bigger trendy move. whatever your style. Me, i like to take my money and let some run if it wants to, often times stops are too tight but idgaf lol.
GC locked in 10 ticks stop at entry on other half
and then sometimes you catch the 30+ tick runner. singles singles singles homerun etc.
worked out nice, 10 tics on half and stopped at entry on rest, +10 ticks for the day so far. doesn't sound like much but a few of those a day and you're killing the game.
CL got filled on the long lets see what she does here. taking half off at 31.12 and moving rest to entry, assuming we get there.
widened bracket, looked at 3 min chart instead of 1 min, 1084.6 for short. 1087.3 for long.
Will follow up with chart pictures, it takes too long to snap pick, load into ihub and post when in the zone. idk what the most convenient way is we'll see over time i guess.
GC tight bracket in 1086.5 and 1085.3 sitting orders
CL area of interest for buy is bid over 31 , and short is offer 31.73
GC CL and TF/NQ are my instruments. Most days I don't even get to the indexes because GC and CL make my morning.
Must rise early. I'm up 7:15am Est, quick shower and fast breakfast, and in front of computer by 7:45 alert and ready to do battle
Mind Over Market - Futures Forum
Welcome to the start of hopefully something good. I feel there is not much out there about futures trading, and see a lot of people keep throwing money away in crap shot trades, with under funded accounts, trying to do a lot with a little, with no strategy, in markets where either a) it's total gambling (like most OTC) and or b) the buying power required to make much money is much larger compared to what they actually have.
In order to obtain financial freedom, you must be consistent. Ask yourself, "Am I making consistent green daily?" If the answer is Yes, then keep it up! If the answer is no, then explore the reasons why. Everyone is different. For me, OTC does not provide the income and consistency I need to support a family. Equities, the buying power was a big issue, now not so much, but on top of that, the scanning, the taxes, etc. With Futures I'm more connected. There are really 3 major instruments I focus on. Everyday my watchlist is the same. No scanning, etc. Just keeping up with some basic news, and economic report schedule. The taxes are much better in futures than in equities. So for me, it was a win win win.
I'd simply like to share some strategy, show my trades, and focus on Futures trading. I feel a lot of people have overlooked the futures market, because people have said it's dangerous. That's just silly. Not because there's no risk, there definitely is, but because the people who say that are trading small cap bios and otc lol. Anyways, follow along if you'd like, I hope to be of help!
