All of these are as nothing compared to the Greek shepherd circle-jerk, which can be expanded indefinitely to achieve any desired level of computational accuracy.

That's what I consider a scalp, also. But I wouldn't consider using limit orders. To me a scalp is opportunistic, a momo play. You want in and out when you want in and out. IMO NQ is the best of the three because of the combination of volatility, tick size, payout, and margin. ES leads YM...

Yes. I was with him and/or her until he and/or she used "limit order" and "scalp" in the same sentence.

For the food section on Saturday and the monthly rotogravure insert?

For most of my adult life I have read the WSJ almost every day. Early this year each time I read it, I started asking myself, "Was I truly and usefully informed, or was I merely entertained?" I am now in my third week after cancelling the subscription. I do miss the entertainment.
