Different Markets for Day trading

Different market, different trading environments

Each market has different personality, different behavior along with different times of the day when it is most active. If you are finding that the ES ( mini SP) is not giving you enough risk/opportunities then start monitoring a couple of other markets and perhaps explore them in demo / simulated mode.
There are more than a few markets I think are suitable for day-trading. Below you will find some observations, tips along with what is unique about these markets, personality and most active trading hours.

Interest rates, mostly the ten year and 30 year.

In most platforms, the symbols are ZB for 30 year bonds and ZN for 10 year notes.

2. Hot Market Report - Corn Futures

From our friend Jim Wyckoff

Jim has an excellent daily newsletter where he reviews different markets, alerts you for potential trades and much more. Included is his great bi-weekly newsletter with charts and a little longer term outlook. We recommend checking out his website, educational CDROM, and services at www.jimwyckoff.com click on image below to enlarge

The corn futures market saw a good upside pop in prices Tuesday, but Wednesday could not show that important follow-through strength that would have begun to suggest a market bottom being in place. See on the daily bar chart that prices are still in a downtrend. Grain market bulls are still worried about the "February Break" seasonal phenomenon.
