yea i dont like
micros , commissions are crazy, and frankly i find them useless. There are other ways to keep the volatily under controlls. If you like to trade
nasdaq , for example, in high
volatility you will see that russell is the same, but with the half of the average volatility. So 1
contract on russell is just like 2
contracts on Nasdaq. I traded 7 of my 11 trading days in the gauntlet on russell, just the last 3 days i traded on nasdaq, cos the volatility were getting better in the last days. Anyway, i also learned a lot burning a couple of accounts on the gauntlet, what i learned most is to give up in a bad day, if you force a recover you will burn it for sure. Just give up and trade again the day after
Good luck
Yep, u got that right, once you force yourself to get the account recover, you will end up losing all of them.
anyway, never trade Russell before, might want to take a look, any tips for trading Russell futures ?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

a tip that you might find useful could be to build a chart with russell and nasdaq on the same screen, compared. You will notice that when nasdaq go down or up fast, and russell doesnt make the same movement, it means that the nasdaq movement is usually a fake movement, like a stop loss hunting. Just wait that the nasdaq will end his fake movement, above a price leve, pivot or zone, and make a contrarian trade on the russell. The trend inversion on the nasdaq will push the russell too in the same direction. But its better to make this trade on the russell because you can use a more cheap stop loss on the russell. Try and let me know
