Ken asked:


I am having a hard time trying to remember the corresponding abbreivations for each month:
January-F, February-G, March-H, April-J, May-K, June-M, July-N, Augus-O, September-U, October-V, November-X, December-Z
Does anyone know where these abbreviations arose from? Or…Is it just unavoidable jargon for futures trading?

Joe Joseph asked:


Hi,
I am thinking of investing beyond equities and want to try currency and copper. But first I want to do some dummy trades. Any suggestions on where to start (any book or site providing step by step instruction)? I want to have a real feel with the margin requirements, volatility, etc.

_DV_ asked:


I want to know the rough # for how many traders are out there actually making their living off of day/swing trading futures. Futures traders that are not working at a firm or on wallstreet but who trade only with their own accounts.

Stock Market futures trading SP500, Emini Futures. Breaking news!! How would you like day trading the stock market for a living?
www.youtube.com/user/Eminidaytrader
SEE ALL VIDEOS
I WILL SHOW YOU A SYSTEMATIC SP500 FUTURES DAY TRADING SYSTEM THAT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHERE TO BUY RETRACEMENTS IN UPTRENDS AND SELL RETRACEMENTS IN DOWNTRENDS TO THE EXACT BAR. ANY SUCCESSFUL SP500 FUTURES TRADER WILL TELL YOU THAT MAKING MONEY IN THE SP500FUTURES MARKET IS AS SIMPLE AS THE “RUBBER BAND TRADE”. BUYING/SELLING RETRACEMENTS WITH THE INTRADAY TECHNICAL TREND. BEING A 15 YEAR TRADER AND DAY TRADING FOR A LIVING USING THE E-MINI FUTURES MARKETS, I WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY HOW YOU CAN DAYTRADE THE SP500 FUTURES MARKET WITH EXTREME ACCURACY IN ONLY 2 HOURS A DAY. You are now viewing one of the most powerful day trading sp500 futures systems on the market today. It was designed and developed with a single purpose in mind…MAKING MONEY IN THE SP500 FUTURES MARKET. Are you like most daytraders that sit in front of their computers all day and trade 20-30 times a day to only make 1-3 points? After commissions you barely make a profit or end up overtrading and losing for the day. How would you like to trade 2-4 times a day and go after the 5-20 point MONSTER DAYTRADES? These are the trades you dream about. Imagine having a day trading system that consistently spots SP500 FUTURES trades with tight stops. I’TS FINALLY HERE! Welcome to the system that can generate these dream trades every single day.
TRADING PHILOSOPHY
“TRADE WHAT YOU SEE, INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU BELEIVE”. You will now know exactly when to buy/sell the futures market with confidence. Before every trade you will know the exact entry, stop loss and trailing stop loss. Over 15 years of Day Trading the SP500 Futures Market I have developed a day trading system that can capture huge moves in the SP500 with small stops. The key to any successful day trading program is knowing when to pull the trigger, having a pre-determined stop loss and a trailing stop loss so you can cut your losers short and let your winners run. I will teach you a proven Day Trading system that will allow you to buy retracements in uptrends and sell retracements in downtrends-NEVER COUNTER-TREND TRADING. You will be trading what the pros know. So many beginning sp emini futures day traders wash out of the stock market because they counter-trend trade. I will teach you how to day trade with the pros and not counter the market but trade with the smart money. I will teach you the powerful snapback trades(RUBBER-BAND) trades that only a few SP500 Day Traders know.
Here are the CONCRETE rules that you must not break when DAY TRADING the SP500 E-mini market.
1. DAILY CHART-I WILL SHOW YOU TWO MOVING AVERAGES THAT ONLY THE PROS USE. THIS WILL SHOW YOU THE OVERALL DIRECTION OF THE MARKET.
2. LONG-TERM TIME FRAME-TWO MOVING AVERAGES THAT ARE EXTREMLY IMPORTANT ON AN INTRADAY BASIS. ONE AVERAGE(MAGENTA IN VIDEOS) TURNS THE MARKET ON A DIME. THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT MOVING AVERAGE IS THE WHITE STOP LINE. VERY SIMPLE IF YOU ARE ABOVE IT YOU ONLY TAKE LONGS IF YOU ARE BELOW IT ONLY TAKE SHORTS.
3. INTERMEDIATE TICK CHARTS-ONCE YOU KNOW THE BIAS TO BUY OR SELL FOR THE DAY THEN YOU LOOK AT THESE TWO TICK CHARTS FOR RETRACEMENTS OR SNAPBACKS TO FIND AREAS TO SHORT/BUY WITH THE TREND OF THE LONG-TERM TIME FRAME.
4.EXECUTION CHART-KNOWING THE DIRECTION AND AREA IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU WILL KNOW THE EXACT SETUP TO LOOK FOR TO ENTER, EXIT AND WHERE TO PLACE YOUR STOP LOSS WHICH IS ONLY .75-1.25 ON AVERAGE FOR THOSE MONSTER TRADES. THIS SETUP IS VERY SPECIFIC TO THE EXACT BAR.
SUMMARY: I USE THE DAILY CHART FOR MAIN TONE OR DIRECTION OF THE SP500 EMINI FUTURES MARKET. THEN I USE A LONG-TERM ADAPTIVE TIME FRAME TO SHOW ME INTRADAY TO EITHER TAKE LONGS OR SHORTS. THEN I LOOK FOR A RETRACEMENT ON MY INTERMEDIATE TICK CHARTS FOR AREAS OF SUPPORT/RESISTANCE. THEN I USE A SPECIFIC SETUP WITH DIVERGENCE TO ENTER THE MARKET WITH A VERY TIGHT STOP. AFTER ENTRY I USE MONEY MANAGEMENT TO SCALE OUT FOR CHOP DAYS AND A TRAILING STOP FOR TREND DAYS. A COMPLETE POWERFUL FUTURES DAY TRADING SYSTEM!!!!!!
