This is what scalping futures looks like

Mofe,

In full screen mode the clarity is still inadequate. Maybe you could provide a few remarks on your method?

Is that X-Trader you're using?

Grant.
 
I didn't get the first two hours done I traded and played with the layout. But I did get about 3 hours of scalping captured and posted it on youtube here are the links:

here is the link to part 1:

here is part 2:
 
Thanks for showing your trades!

Have you looked at www.veoh.com as an alternative to youtube for posting your vids? You can apparently upload any size file at any resolution...which would be an improvement on youtube if that's the case.
 
Explanation of a trade from part 1 of the video from today.
Good stuff. I'm wondering, since you look for divergence between FESX and FDAX here, would it be possible to trade the spread between the two in a mean-reverting way? On the face of it this seems to exploit the same set-up but with lower risk, allowing greater leverage. X-Trader Autospreader was made for stuff like this. I'm sure you have a good reason for doing outrights instead...
 
I am posting a clip of my trading from when I put on a max position to 2 minutes before the ISM #. I shut down the recorder for the # becuase I had noticed that my CPU was getting pegged on high volume while I was recording trades. Then Esignal went down and I just called it quits for the day.

Rarely do I put on a max position so I thought this would be a good clip to show. I will post a video with an explenation for the trade and why I was willing to put on max size later.

I would like to disagree about spreads being less risky than streight possition. With spreads one is entering with two contracts and one is thus running the risk of both sides of his trade being blown up. By any rational standard that is twice as risky as having a single position open.

There is absulutely no way to protect oneselves from trading risks with strictly money management tricks. If a trading strategy doesn't have an statistical edge, spread or no spread, stops or no stops one is going to loose consistently.

cheers, dejan
 
Can I continue in this old post?

Do you like it?

What exactly are you doing in those videos? Just looks like your moving your mouse around randomly clicking on things then hesitating and cancelling it again?

what??

DOn't you say the portafolio account? The order in real time?
 
Pretty hard to see if I'm honest, you need to make it clearer. Also, I find it hard to believe you are "Scalping" that many different instruments at once, if you are holding till the end of the day, that is not scalping.

Maybe do a video of just one instrument, say the DAX, just show yourself scalping that only, might be a bit easier to see.
