I've done the same, taken all the major courses, read the books, tried dozens of indicators. I have come to the conclusion that indicators are helpful in some instances, but for day trading, price action has been a better help. I liked the books by Anna Coulling on price action and presently I'm taking Al Brooks' video class on price action and really like it. The goal is to be able to combine the indicators with price action to be able to find the higher percentage set ups. I hope this helps.

Like to hear what you have discovered toward your goals and aspirations, to date.

So perhaps, we may all profit from your discovery and all. K?

Won't be an easy job, I suspect, trying to coordinate significant indicators
making them to perform like horses in Ben Her movie.

Best of luck to you.

Hi Josh, just want to probe a little deeper, your comments on NT8.

I was specifically referring to the comment that someone wasn't able to trade the MJNK (mini japanese yen, the most liquid futures contract in Asia) because it is available on the Osaka exchange, and this is only available through a few brokers, which someone said NT was not able to support.

I'm sure I have many past posts on FIO about why I use what I use, and why I don't use NT anymore; as I said, this thread isn't the proper place to revive any of that discussion

Hi Steve,

I'm actually not connected with Terry Duffy. He is the Chairman and CEO of the exchange and probably has much better things to do than to hear me squeak.

I actually am meeting with one of the many directors next Wednesday and will start the process of finding out who the key people are who can influence the approval and create of the Micro-CL. I'm guessing I would end up talking with someone at NYMEX which is not here in Chicago, but will do my best to get things going.

Cheers!

Hello again FT71,

Did you get your meeting with NYMEX? If so what was their response?

Cheers

Hi bebop,

Thanks for turning my attention to this. That petition is a bit dated and I need to be able to go in with the names. After some thought, I've decided to start a new petition.

It would be great if ALL micro traders would sign this: https://chng.it/qBmbrRLNSH


Thanks for your work on this @FuturesTrader71
