It's had a bit of a slide and may soon have a pullback

C'mon guys your views are welcome.
I don't intend to carry this thread solo.

The bottom line is to make money and everything else is secondary.

Too early. RTH only for me.

This time of day you'd be better with FESX, and switch to ES after lunch, surely?

RTH = ?
I like trading the S&P 500 before it opens, seems smoother while the big boys are still asleep maybe

Different opinions I guess. It certainly can be very smooth indeed during the morning, yesterday being a prime example.

But overall I find it much harder to trade. Often good moves are totally reversed once the US gets going, which doesn't suit my preferred management methods.

LOL.

I'm happy with a fairly modest gain - 5% a month is enough to keep body and soul together, although I tend to do rather better than that.

I'm not talking Slapalapooby targets of 300% per trade.
