This is a good question. I'm also wondering about the historical margin requirements, because I recall (if I'm correct) that the intraday margin's were disabled during the credit crunch, meaning you would have to post the bigger 'daily margins'. Besides that, perhaps it would make an contra...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about scalping the Schatz, preferrably in an automated strategy. However, what I'm wondering about is whether or not Interactive Brokers is a suitable broker for scalping? This is because the IB data feed which sends multiple snapshots per second but not 'true ticks', I'm...

I think it is promising (for your futher success) that you're able to identify what your strengths and weaknesses are. I just wondering, could it be possible to trade on a slightly higher time frame? (i.e. so that trading is less fast, which reduces the amount of errors one could make?)...

Interesting.. you are trading Forex profitable (great achievement btw), but still "maybe lacking confidence". I'm curious if you have doubts regarding your (technical) strategy or doubts in the psychological side. What makes the difference between your winning and losing trades? Technical...

Uhm... so? I don't get your point in starting this thread, but perhaps that's just me. :) So you daytrade Crude Oil.. that's great offcourse, but what contract do you trade (eMini?), how do you trade it ("Trends well" is not quite a strategy I guess ;) ), etc.

Hi there, I was looking at some futures based on ETF's, and I've found one I would like to trade (the iShares Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Futures (EUNF)), but there isn't any volume? Not only today, but this month so far there isn't a trade done (according to the Eurex website). I can't find any...

Interesting, but I think I don't agree. From what I've backtested now (not an awfull lot though) it seems that the lower the time frame, the harder it is to find something good. It's not just the extra commission, but the slippage is a much bigger percentage of the move with scalping. Besides...

Nice topic, partly because of the articles you posted BSD: thanks for that. :) I was wondering, what kind of (technical) strategies could a scalper use? I do not mean Maggelan' strategies, but more in general. Perhaps we could have a inspiring brainstorm about this. :) For example, here there's...

Currently I'm in the progress of backtesting future day trading strategies, but none of the tested ideas work remotely. I was wondering how you got your idea for your system/strategy, because at this rate I'm quickly out of ideas. :) Edit: I'm not asking for ideas, but merely for "ideas how to...

Thanks for your comments. :) In my case, then I'll start following the Bobl. Regards, Jos

Which of the Bobl and Schatz futures do you find better to trade on a short time frame (e.g. 1 minute charts)? I was just looking which one to start following, but both have roughly the same volume, and the same tick size. However, on a 60 minute time frame it looks like the Bobl has a greater...

A feature of this site which I find very handy is the "New Posts" at the top of the screen. It gives an opportunity to quickly see what new threads there have been started. However, I'm not interested in all the subforums which are available on Trade2Win. In my opinion it would be great to be...

Sounds promising, however I can't see the attached Word documents? :) Edit: Thanks for adding them. :)
