Emini Futures Live Trading Room Open House

Emini futures contracts, known as eminis, are simply scaled down versions of the larger "full size" contracts they emulate. Emini futures contracts are relatively new to the trading scene having only been around since 1997.

Emini trading was introduced to the markets by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) with the creation of the S&P 500 Emini Futures Contract. This product was created to provide traders with an affordable method of trading the stock indices.

How To Be A Trader

To be a Trader requires a shift in thinking, because rational thought is immediately required to take a back seat. Most professions leave little room for error, yet a Professional Trader is expected to be wrong 30-40% of the time. Imagine a pilot who missed his landing more than once, or an engineer with structural supports unable to bear the load they were created to carry. Both professionals would quickly find themselves seeking new careers. To be a Trader, is to be wrong repeatedly and still collect a bonus.

According to Bloomberg, Wall Street Traders with 10 years experience earn upwards of $1M annually, while their neurosurgeon contemporaries pull down only $600k and are often required to spend as much as 1/3 of those earnings on malpractice insurance. Why? Because the surgeon is expected to get it right.. every single time. The Trader? Not so much...

Weekly Chart Roundup

All time highs that just can't stick... The S&P 500 has established a new all time high in the cash market but we are still a few ticks away from a new high in the futures market. The market has presented decent volatility of late with two sided action.

For an Emini Futures Trader, it's not important which way opportunity flows.. what matters is that there is a flow. We have seen 20 point ATR's (average true range) of late coming into this week. I tweeted our followers (@CFRN) Sunday night to prepare for a week of low volatility and tight ranges. The good news is the market still has two days to prove me wrong and it also hasn't been as tight as it could have been.

The big deal here is not that I can spot a trade, tweet it out, and you can trade it for a profit. The big deal is that we are willing to teach you how to spot the trade yourself for a very nominal fee.

If you're like most eMini Traders, you've already spent somewhere between $5k and $25k on

Trading Where No Trader Has Ever Traded Before

Uncharted Waters | Trading Where The Market Has Never Been

Tuesday the Dow broke through to new all time highs. Until Tuesday, no one has ever been able to buy or sell the Dow Emini Futures (YM) @ 14270. No doubt corks were popping somewhere, but I believe most of the world realizes this is by no means a measure of how great things are. We've climbed a wall of worry to get here, using bad news as our stepping stones all the way to the top... now what?

My guess is we still need to see the S&P 500 put in historic new highs as well. The fact that the Dow arrived on the scene so much sooner than the S&P is a bit surprising. Once the S&P clears the top, then we can move on to the "What now?" scenario. Most of us remember the last time we put in new highs, it got pretty ugly, pretty quick. Back away from the chart just a bit and take a look at the Triple Top on a weekly or monthly chart. In fact, have a look at this one -

How To Handle A Losing Trade

Sneeze Or Earthquake? How To Handle A Losing Trade

If you are confident in what you are doing taking a losing trade is like a sneeze.. you don't know when its coming, you don't like it when it happens, but it's over quickly and you move on subconsciously, knowing that your life and outlook has not changed because of the 'sneeze'

If you are NOT confident in what you are doing a losing trade can be like an earthquake.... again you don't know when its coming, you don't like it when it happens, it is over with quickly but the results that lie around you are a constant reminder that something went wrong.  Those results make you want to change what you are doing, where you choose to reside (in this case what trading room to be in) but there is always the nagging reality that the earthquake can and likely will still happen, over and over again..
