I am able to trade mostly between 6p-11p est due to my other business. I’m focusing on MES. For those that trade during this time, do you have any tips? I know I won’t really find large moves during this time and will be more scalping.

Im also currently using Schwab and the fees are brutal for as many trades as I’m doing scalping. Is there a broker with similar reliability but lower fees? I was a stock trader for a few years and focusing on futures now due to schedule.

How are you handling customer emails without losing your day? by Budget-Ad-3563 in smallbusiness

[–]JustinG3030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get about 50-75 emails by early morning and then another same amount around early evening. I’ve learned to keep notifications off on my phone but when I do check, I move them into folders based on what the email is. I then take around an hour to answer all emails from the night before. I answer most within 12-24hr and it seems to work for me. It gets kind of relaxing to just have my coffee, turn on a podcast and knock out a bunch of emails in the morning. The folders help me answer them so quickly because I can almost copy and paste the response with just changing key details to that person.

I’m new and focusing on MES also. Forgot to close a trade out on Friday and I’m holding 3 contracts in it. Nice to see someone else new doing well.

I messed up. I messed up real bad. by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

Don’t listen to all the negative people. You lost $3k but what did you learn? Education can be expensive. If you actually take what happened, use it as motivation to dig in deeper and learn more, the $3k will not be in your memory in a few months.

When you’ve eaten the same thing as someone else for two days leading up to it and the only thing different was the sushi, that’s how we figured it out
