hey piters is there a demo account for futures you use which offer charts as well?


It is a Tradestation account (demo)- just testing now, but you can have any broker with Futures feed and just run this charts as well..
Appart of TS I am using eSignal, and enSign with eSIgnal feeds.. only for charting but I trade with few brokers (mbt, saxo, ..)

You can try water house capital for futures feed with MT4, or someone else

you guys must have deep pockets . To hold one contract Ym overnight is $3200 margin. Day trade is only $500 margin.

I much prefer day trading as anything can happen on futures overnight on low volume.

today was another awesome open range breakdown day under 11510 , paid of nicely.

Friday was only a 50 point day on the open range breakout.

For those of us who live in the European time zones another option for day trading is to trade the Dax from its open - either just until the NYSE open, or even all day, as it usually mirrors the Dow / S&P in the early US session. However, the Dax is a rather serious contract and not for beginners....http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

Here's a nice start to my afternoon's trading - chart time is CET - so that's EST +7 hours.

The Dax turned down at 13:32 CET and the YM followed, made a lower high at its 34 ema and then broke its 200ema and its 400 level - before spiking down to hit yesterdays low for a 30 - 40 point profit depending on how awake you are!

With the Consumer Confidence AND New Homes data due at 10am est and then the FOMC minutes at 2pm I'll take my profits quickly today.....http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

There's been a BIG rally in oil - up $5 in the last three hours - I'm looking for it to hit 118 in NY trading.....

The big rally started at 7am est as news came out that hurricane Gustav had been upgraded to Cat 2 storm and expectations that it will head into the Gulf of Mexico and thus endanger US oil production.

Its now looking as if the move's run out of steam for now - I closed my long at 117.30.

I also took a long in the YM after it failed to break the 350 level and also broke its 34ema after the data. I took profit in the spike above the earlier high of 421, so I'm now flat and finished for the day - its hard work today!

I agree, as long as the updated forecast continues to show TS Gustav strengthening to a Cat 2 / 3 Hurricane and due to make landfall early next week in the US in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico......Big Oil's HQ!!

I waited for the pull back - it went to the 50% level, also the MR2 level and then bought the break of the 34ema and closed at the 138 extension for a clear $1 profit - with the data due in 2 hours I'd rather bank profits quickly today....
