Re: [RT] Futures-EOD or RT

I trade Futures and Futures Options using EOD 
data.
I am a position trader and leave day trading to 
those better suited for it.
I can not or will not day trade because I know 
I do not make good decision under pressure.  I need time to 
analyze and select the best opportunities 
from a variety of different markets so position trading is my strong 
suit.
For a lot of other reasons position trading 
makes more sense for me because I do not want to be tied to a computer or quote 
machine all day.  I make my trading decisions at night when the pressure is 
off, email my orders to my broker for the next morning and then go 
fishing.  Position trading provides me with the best of both worlds.  
I love trading and make my living at it.  My work day starts at about 5 pm 
and runs until about 10 pm at which point I email my broker and call it quits 
for the day.  The next day up until 5 pm I can do whatever seems 
appropriate with my time.  If it's hunting season I go hunting, if it's 
fishing season I go fishing, etc, etc etc.
My way is not for everyone but that is why God made 
us all different.
 
God bless and best of wishes in all your future 
endeavors,
Tom

  Subject: [RT] Futures-EOD or RT
  I assume that this list is populated mainly with equity 
  (stock) traders, but for those of you that trade futures, do you trade 
  mainly off of EOD signals or RT?Seems that most futures traders 
  work mainly EOD but as more intraday trading techniques are developed, it 
  looks like it has some advantages.I chart and run my systems on 
  EOD data, but seeing RT data to better target an entry or exit certainly 
  would help. I'm sure that this is old for the equity guys but do any 
  futures traders do this?Got an entry or exit placement method to 
  share?-FPTo
