  3. Ilan : What Are Your Views On Intraday Vs End-of-day Trading. Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  4. John: Like everything it's about the market environment. We have been in a market where the Dow Jones traded in it's most compressed average true range since 1905 so the idea of running an end of day strategy and playing for big moves hasn't materialized like it has in the past. In this market, what I have done is identify periods where there is more volatility, such as a FOMC announcement, a key piece of data, or political headline on tax reform or the next FOMC chair, and trade that instead.

  5. Ilan: What Is The Role Of Indicators In Strategy Development? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  6. John: The term "Indicators" seems purposely vague. I use several indicators ranging from what a market's Netto Number is to sentiment indicators to fundamental indicators. They all play a role and receive a confidence interval based on what I believe their efficacy is.

  7. Ilan: Can you provide us with an overview that helps us understand your focus and strategy to making money in the markets? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  8. John: I look at the market by measuring how a strategy, index, portfolio, or trade is performing on a return per unit-of-risk basis. I do this by measuring performance not in nominal terms, but relative to a predetermined risk budget. Employing this tactic allows me to get a better sense of where the money flows are goin and how this overlays with the macro narrative. After combining all of those, you can get a sense of my strategy. Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products.

  13. Ilan: What Is Your Key To Trading Success? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  14. John: Having a definable edge and the discipline and confidence to execute on that edge. Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  15. Ilan: What Is The Most Common Mistake You See Among Futures Traders? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  16. John: Not being able to quantify their edge and not having a plan to improve upon that. Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  17. Ilan: How do technological developments toward trading from the cloud and mobile trading offer benefits to the futures trader?

  19. Ilan: How have the markets changed in recent years and how do retail futures traders need to adapt to this? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  20. John: Structurally there are many more products to trade volatility and less actual realized volatility to trade. Traders need to be very aware of what markets are moving and not. They shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one product. I respect the specialization game, but that works much better when there is movement.

  21. Ilan: What is the role of luck in trading? Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

  22. John: On a day to day basis there is a lot of noise in the markets so luck can play a role, but again, understanding that you have an edge and where that edge exists is what will let you know if you were lucky or unlucky and that you should keep to your process.
