The E-Mini Pit
If you currently trade, or are interested in learning to trade, the CME E-Minis, this thread is for you. As opposed to just another market direction discussion thread, our focus here will be on providing a traders resource of specific information on the E-Minis, including discussions of brokers, trading platforms, order types, trading methodologies, money management techniques, futures-specific tax issues, etc. In addition, feel free to post your trades if you like, but please include your reasoning, so we can all learn. Links to charts, articles, seminars, and other message boards dealing with E-Minis or futures trading are encouraged. Also, please check this original post from time to time to see any new links we post here and to check out The Post of the Day, which will be selected from daily contributions to the board.

Most P&F charts (I've tried those on Esignal, Ensign, Local Knowledge) I don't like and can't get to work for me.
The P&F Charts that I do really like though are found on LindWaldock site. There's somthing about the scaling, tic setting, box size or ? that I can't seem to reproduce.
lind-waldock.com
click on education
click on learning center
click on BJ's Point & Figure Chart Demo.
Realtime P&F charts for the eminis, S-franc, J-yen, US bonds, & large S&P are available for free to Lind clients.
They auto refresh every 20, 40, or 60 seconds. (you choose)
Barry Lind's "Method Trading" book is also free to anyone for the asking. In "Learning Center", click on "method trading" The book comes with lots of P&F Charts & Barry's method for trading with them.
