Yes I missed a big move, but I don't want to be greedy, and I needed some well deserved sleep after a big week with final exams, and no sleep what-so-ever. I'll look for some setups Friday, if I punch in, I'll post. What I've learned is that sometimes it's good to be a bystander, over-trading will only reduce profits. <br />Thanks for all the comments!Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804022639671744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288069931354007705.post-63712099798756155212006-12-15T01:11:00.000-04:002006-12-15T01:11:00.000-04:00cal ur slackin off there, big moves on futures tod...cal ur slackin off there, big moves on futures today (thursday)no entry from u yet though 12AM friday. and i see the deep thought u put in to ur three word response. must have been a ruogh ride today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288069931354007705.post-88611957966173298472006-12-15T00:08:00.000-04:002006-12-15T00:08:00.000-04:00If you guys are interested in trading but afraid o...If you guys are interested in trading but afraid of the quick big loss possibilities, then I would suggest trading options on the SPY. What I like to do is use the futures for entry signals and then buy a SPY ITM put or call (depending on direction im looking for market to go in). This works well if you have a small account because you can get one contract for 200-350 dollars easy. Every point the SPY moves is worth $60-80 depending on the option delta, so a 10 point S&P move is worth $60-80(the SPY is 1/10 the size of the S&P). 10 point moves happen at least once a week, so tHis method has nice profit potential, and the loss is limited to the amount you pay for the option, so 200-350 worst case. <br />As an example today I made 125 on an investment of about 600 in about 10 minutes. Nothing close to making $8000, but if you have a smaller account this return every few days is quite nice.Aurelienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382494055943872878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288069931354007705.post-85488509700363350982006-12-14T22:40:00.000-04:002006-12-14T22:40:00.000-04:00Did you hit 5k again today?

For example if ER2 goes up 2% and you are on the wrong side then you lose $14000 on those 9 contracts.

Always looking for that rush you got at the beginning, going broke in the process. With the futures, you have more leverage. Leverage is a double-edged sword. Without a stop, you could just as easily have lost as much as you made today. So, use stops. Take small losses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288069931354007705.post-89092291406566616042006-12-13T19:29:00.000-04:002006-12-13T19:29:00.000-04:00Very nice Cal!

My kind of trader.<br /><br />At 90 contracts, you’re better off trading the big S&P rather than the e-mini, you’d save a lot on commissions. <br /><br />However, 90-contracts is impossible on $50k due to initial margin of ~$2k per lot.

Never took a single trade until I had some "know-how" on this issue as with any financial vehicle in my investing experience. It paid off in a handsome manner, and I'll continue to practice money management using protective stops.
