  1. Paper trading is what I am using to find out what platform to use and how to use it properly. That is how to hit the correct buy or sell button

    I made a few mental errors and hit the sell side when I wanted to buy. Glad it was only paper money

    Right now I am using Ninja Trader and it seems very robust, at least for me


  2. Hi

    A new member here but so far have found the forum helpful

    I am brand new to futures trading although most of my work years were in the investment markets-- portfolio management and sales.

    I know very little about day trading

     

    Right now I am paper trading using Ninja Trader to get a feel for how it works. My question has to do with candle charts.

     

    If you plan to try and scalp what is the best time frame to use on your charts?

    Is it 1 minute, 2 minutes?

    Another dumb question-- should the time frame differ between contracts--ES vesus YM, NQ?

    Thanks
