In case you haven't heard, our team launched a brand new futures brokerage service named Edge Clear on April 2nd. It was a soft launch while we made sure that our processes and relationships are in place.
On Thursday, April 23rd at 4:30 PM Eastern US time, we will be guests on Futures.io and will take part in the first video panel discussion format hosted here. I'm personally grateful for my relationship with Big Mike and appreciate the opportunity to participate in this session.
Please join us by registering for the event. Details were posted by Big Mike here:

Just joined Convergent, and I am soaking in the vast amounts of knowledge you have accumulated and managed to pack into all these 1hr long crystal clear webinars.
Any update on when we might see the Convergent Courses?
Could you give examples of the main type of opening price action ? Your opening scenarios have been incredibly helpful to me in my process, but I think I make too many scenarios.
The following are some of the questions during the webinar. If any of these merit a written response in addition to any response already given in the video, please reply for the benefit of all members reading and searching for answers:

In your opinion, what are the best contracts to trade during the overnight session? My goal is to trade full time, but right now I am only able to trade after the New York close. Also, do you feel that daily pivot ranges are still valid since there is little floor trading?
You finally are a consistently profitable trader week in, week out. Who is now trying to increase their contracts traded. What have you seen as best practice to increase size of contracts traded? Dollar amount/contract (i.e. $10,000/1 contract). Risk based (Full stop less than 1% or 2% of account value)? Or anything else?
I want to trade the ES micros but I am having trouble figuring out my entries. Where is a good place to start for a beginner?

How necessary is knowing to read orderflow to become a profitable trader? Or you may be profitable without knowing how to read the orderflow?
At edgeclear do you have something similar to the s5 trade analyzer where it tracks your trades historically?
Morad thank you for your daily pre market prep. 1. For your rotation study do you change any settings when the range expends? Or is it always constant? On sierra chart I find that I need to change my zigzag settings to match your fractal rotations. 2. What do you use for recorkeeping today?
do you teach day traders and where do we go?
How do you close a winner and how do you close a loser? Do you trail stops? Or do you aim at hitting a target?
How do you handle when the market does something completely different than your expectations from premarket analysis? Do you end up not trading that day?
Do you see a day when algos and HFT make trading so jumbled and confusing, retail manual day-traders will be nearly completely locked out? More so than what's been happening over the past ten years?

Are you able to expand on your harmonic rotation concept or point me to a resource that I could look into that would give a better understanding of it?
Any future plans to tie Convergent and Edge Clear together (ie. rebates on the brokerage side for being a member or discounts on Convergent for being a client)?
