{quote} Yes, I am still optimistic. I still have 2 open funded prop accounts with the 2 most reputable firms in the business. Just stating, I have already made the move in anticipation of the worse case scenario. Best case, I trade fx with the props and futures with props and amp. Worse case, I am a futures trader only, I will not trade forex with the garbage offered by CFTC regulated brokers.......it's not even the rules, I don't need the leverage, multiple accounts eliminate the FIFO and no hedging (if needed)........I just want a raw feed, no...

The liquidity is pretty good in the futures USD currency contracts during UK/US sessions... about the same as 80-120 FX lots in e6 (EURUSD), B6 (GBPUSD) and j6 (JPY/USD) going only 1-2 price levels deep, but it's a complete non starter for non USD pairs. If you trade indices then futures is the place to be. A 10-15M position in NAS & 35-40M position in S&P can be easily filled on a single click with minimal slippage, so there's lots of room for a successful trader to compound and grow. The CME does own EBS which is 1 of the 3 largest interbank trading...

{quote} You filling at market or on limit? If you are "real live market" actually trading the e-minis the experience can be wildly different depending on the time of day and the market conditions at the time. Surface level the liquidity looks good but if you start taking out some limits it changes quickly.

{quote} Not during Asian session, around report release or other volatile periods. At that size I would use iceberg or time slicing orders, but you do routinely see large orders of that size in daily time of sales and the price impact before and after the large fill is negligible.

{quote} Well the brokers will continue to get away with what the regulators allow them to. My point is if you're going to stick your nose where it doesn't belong then at least regulate it properly. Instead, it is pick and choose as to what benefits whoever pays enough. As I stated, I'm done fighting it, until if/when my situation allows me to leave, I'll just trade futures. I'm sure it will do me good not having the stress of waking each morning wondering what broker/firm/platform/payment processor has been strong armed out of the US.

trailing drawdown makes sense for futures because scalpers have to use large contracts size to squeeze out a profit , like squeezing the juice out of a pomegranate seed, but static is better for non-scalpers

{quote} Proof that you have zero experience trading futures. Zero Every Monday thru Friday, after the 9:30 bell, the market explodes and money rains from the sky. Contract size has little to do with it.

{quote} I'll find out when I open a futures account. In the meantime, why can't you politely explain to us coming from fx, what you are talking about rather than just mock. It doesn't benefit anyone really. I'll give you the chance right now.........

{quote} I will politely state, that as someone who has actively traded futures (via AMP Futures) for the past 5 years, there is money to be made everyday trading NQ, DOW, ES, 10yr, Gold and Oil. I only trade NQ and Dow, Many have gotten into BTC futures as well. It will be a learning curve coming from CFD’s. There are no overnight swaps fees with futures.
