Dear Trading Friend, As a reminder, you are a member of this opt-in list because you are either a client of CTCN’s, or you asked to go on this list, or you contacted us for information on a subject we cover via these occasional ListBot e-mailings. We never add anyone to this list unless they want to be on it, never sell or disclose anyone’s information and their e-mail address, and provide information on trading related subjects only. We have some new developments to report, first our trading of the E-Mini S&P has temporarily stopped as we are reevaluating our trading plan and other issues (especially the commission costs) to see how money can be made in this market. As you know, in past e-mails sent via this communications list we told you about the incredibly high commissions and overall costs involved in trading the e-mini-sp via the Internet. Commissions are 500% higher than the current full-size S&P 500 Contract and 1000% greater than the old S&P 500 Contract! Plus, many of our clients are actually paying even greater commission than this, depending on which broker they are using and the commission rate they negotiated from the broker. Incredibly, even with recent occasional strings like 9 of 10 winners, 5 of 5 winners, and an amazing 14 of 14 straight winners in my real-time trading (using our new Real Success Daytrading Methodology) our e-mini-sp bottom line was not improving! We know money can potentially be made in this market if the e-mini trading plan is structured right, you are using a sound trading method, you have a good way of limiting the size of losing trades, and commissions and slippage costs are low. It’s actually a great market to trade as Internet Based e-mini-sp fills are amazingly fast (3 to 6 seconds on average) and the competition is much easier than the full size contract and other Pit Based Open-Outcry type regular contracts. This is because there is no direct competition from Large Traders, the Floor Traders and Floor Brokers, who frequently take the other side of trades and as you may know usually win and win consistently! The lightning speed of fills combined with the fact you are competing almost exclusively with other small individual traders makes it much easier to achieve a high percentage of wins in this market than any other. For proof, look at my real-time trading, in over 17-years of commodity trading I never had 14 of 14 winners. However, I achieved this in only about 1-month of E-Mini SP trading! My personal E-Mini S&P trading plan is now being restructured and I plan to re-start trading next week (providing everything is in place by then). Next week we will e-mail you an update to this.
