Re: Day Trading the E-mini Futures
Hi Jon,

Not sure I quite get the question. Are you asking whether to day trade, or trade long term? Or have you been told not to day trade futures elsewhere?

Re: Day Trading the E-mini Futures
Right, interesting day today. Lots of data out. Yesterday, ES really didn't end up doing all that much in the end. Balance range was extended but nothing really changed. Pre-open, we've been testing those levels I had mentioned as important...

Breaking through post releases.

Yes, thought it was a typo at first when I read it.. I'm trading oil and we were at a perfect spot technically for a short anyway, but when it plunged that way I knew the numbers were bad, and sure enough, worst in 2.5 years.

Re: Day Trading the E-mini Futures
Yup and because of where we are technically, the kind of sell-off moves we have seen recently AND options expiry, panic kinda set in. Two options(choices). One scalp as you probably get the same reward as you would normally, or two really bide your time, wait for good areas and make sure you close out positions quick if they aren't going the way you expected (including how not just direction).

OMG or "YESSSSSS!" Marv Albert style, since you could just close your eyes and short it. It's gotten choppy down here, but if this base fails we could be back to last week with huge volatility.

EDIT: By the way, this reminds me of the first bear move we had in '08 where things would calm down and retrace a bit and get hit by another terrible news release.
