Does anybody here Day Trade (or swing trade) futures? I have been playing with the /ES (E-Mini S&P 500) lately and I really like it! I've been working on some strategies and concepts that once I have more time with, I will share with the community. But I figured I would put it out there to see if anybody else trades any other futures.

Two Dell 34" curved monitors, love them!

Couple of notes on the forum. We have added a swing trade section in the education section for our members. I will post there regarding market reviews and trade ideas for the coming week. I have also posted my Dec 2 on youtube - this is currently up now. This will become a regular posting on the weekend and I will add posts during the week if opportunities pop up. Right now I am looking for a bounce in oil, continued strength to carry over from the previous week in techs and maybe even some moves back up in pot stocks like CGC. Stay tuned for more to come.

Not to reply to myself, but I played around with this some more and got the Trigger queue working for the stop, so that way we only send a physical STOP to the market when the initial order is returned as a successful fill. I'll post an update test command in a few minutes. StopPrice=Price;DefShare=BP*0.97; Price = Ask - Price + 0.02; SShare = 120 / Price;Share = DefShare - SShare; DefShare = DefShare + SShare; SShare = Share; SShare = DefShare - SShare; Share = 0.5 * SShare; TogSShare; ROUTE =LIMIT; Price = Ask + 0.05; TIF=DAY+; BUY=Send; DefShare = 400; TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET STOPPRICE:StopPrice ACT:SELL QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Just a single one for testing in SIM. If anyone wants to hammer and see if you can get some anomalies before I work it into the configuration. What it does: Long: - Moves Double-Clicked price to stop - Does the dollar risk up above calculation ($120 risk) - Setups a Trigger order in queue for STOP with MARKET ORDER at original stop click location, quantity is set to filled quantity. I'll include these additional ones in the video how-to: STOP ORDER MODIFIERS: - On "Orders" window (shows pending orders not fulfilled, the stop will be here), double-click the STOP and it'll load into the MONTAGE - Execute a hotkey with the following command Update Existing Stop Order with New Position (e.g. to be done after a scale out): Share=Pos;Replace; Change Stop Position to New Price + Update Position Size (if changed): In This Order: - Orders Window --> Double Click Stop - Double Click area on chart you want to set the stop price to (or type it into the price field) - Execute the hotkey with this command: Share=Pos;StopPrice=Price;Replace;
