Daytrading FTSE Futures

[valleyvintner]

just concerned about your observational skills and attention to detail, that's all..

Thanks. I appreciate the vigilance. BTW would you agree on the point of preferring the E-Mini S&P to the other index futures. The YM has comparable beta but the ES generally trades in larger volume, ergo often with better fills.

Cheers,

yes I trade ES, but I also look at TF too

Good idea. I see the present upswing in the Sep TF has added 69.80, compared with 112.50 on the Sep ES - approx. $5625 per contract on the TF and $3545 on the ES. Much higher beta. But the TF seems to trade only about 10% of the volume of the ES, which could be a problem in a fast market.
