Ok, guys and gals.
I'm going to start this thread and commit myself to it for the next few months. Not every hour, but certainly every week and most days. I will fit it in with my trading operations and other proprietary market research work. Could very well be interesting times to do it following a very turbulent August.
The thread will be how I go about trading equity indices intra-day
This is not my primary job, I am a Global Macro Strategist first, but trade Futures intra-day if I get the time. Normally 1-2 hrs a day, sometimes a bit more.
I trade primarily the ES-mini contract.
But also sometimes Nasdaq100 Future, FTSE 100 Future, Bund Future and CL Future
I use ProRealTime data and Platofrm
and Market Delta for order entry with CQG data feed.
I'm based most of the time in the South of France where the sun shines and internet is quick!
I will start the thread with a little primer on h finacial markets, then move on to my techniques and set ups.
The motive of this thread
+ To share, educate, inform and enlighten
+ and to gain followers and raise my profile (yes I will be honest, I have commercial interests beyond this thread, but I am no phony - I will let my background (if you research me) and the coming posts on here do all the talking).
Whilst I realise there will be haters and controversial characters on this forum, I am not preaching any particular way or I am "Mr right" at this game. This is just how I go about business and how I see the world that has been backed by a lot of research and 15years+ of hard graft.
And I do ask people to keep this thread clean, civilised and sensible. Let's not lose our dignity here!
But what I do promise, is that I will talk about the truth and reality of financial markets that has been my journey. I will also mention some random anecdotes from time to time (probably when markets are quiet!).
So, who is along for the ride?
Sincerely,
Simon Maelzer
