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, please post your trades, 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.

The Hunter Places His Traps Where The Animals Feed
It seems like any and all potential short setups are squeezed big time. (I have to think that the only thing holding this market up is injections of massive liquidity from the Fed and Short covering.)
It seems like the only time this market goes down is when there is no reason it should.
Being a chicken is good. Think of all the money it saved you when you abandoned positions that would have only gotten worse.
