It seems to me that not many of you are actively trading futures in general and the S&P eMini in particular. Hence it bothers me to chronicle my frivolous daytrading habits diving in and out of this trading vehicle. After all, why bother when it makes no difference to anyone. But I decided to chronicle my afternoon trades because, in part, I want to hold myself accountable and to entertain those who have shown interest in daytrading. I have this urge to echo what Alfie is so fond of saying: "FWIW".
Just give me a shoutout if this pesters you so much that you wish this thread killed. Whatever. LOL

A miniscule commentary: the damn beast is in a predictable channel. It has since hit the bottom channel, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were to advance up to, well, the upper channel. But should it stall prematurely then you can count me in with other bears to raid this baby one more time.

Since the ES is on the road to nowhere, I'm closing shop early. P&L for this afternoon: +2.75 (1 point per contract = $50 less commission)

Nikoschopen,
I enjoy your emini trading chronicles. I do not trade the ES but rather the ER2. I believe the range is better.
Looking forward to your next posts,
Leaddog

Howdy leaddog,
I've yet to Trade the futures on the Russell, but I'm hell gearing up to fight the beast one of these days. Do you mind sharing some of ure personal thoughts on why you choose the ER rather than its other larger siblings like the YM, ES, or the NQ? I for one like the ES because I believe it's the most orderly of the major three. I also trade the YM on monster days that bring out the raw emotion of fear and greed in us, and I'm happy with the results thus far. With NQ, however, it's another story. Like a lunatic on steroid entering a freakfest, I act like a maniac and get screwed from all directions. At any rate, I'll be happy to hear what you have to say about my trading.
Niko

Thanks Niko for your trading commentary. I am now back from vacation and will begin again trading the ES on a daily basis. Could you please post your commentary also on your morning trades? I would like to get your perspective on what you see going on as it happens.
Thanks again, Joe
