    Taking Profits

    Since you seem to be on the fence about whether to sell or hold, why not do both? Sell 2-4 of the 5 and see what happens with the last portion as expiration approaches.

    Merrill Edge - anyone use this?

    Thanks. Here's a fee summary for anyone else who might be interested. I'm not too crazy about the account transfer and close-out fees. http://www.brokerage-review.com/stock-brokers/fees/merrilledge.aspx

    Merrill Edge - anyone use this?

    30 free trades per month with acct balance > $25k, basically. Seems like a decent deal, so I was wondering if anyone here has tried this and what you might have to say about it. Thanks. http://www.merrilledge.com/m/pages/promos/trades.aspx?src_cd=SDPS1

    CL Redux

    I used to keep track of ATR in ES and I really have never found a practical way to use it consistently. As far as CL, which is much less mean-reverting than ES, how do you guys actually make use of ATR? Surely we're not fading and averaging at multiples of ATR ... :confused:

    30 is also an unfilled gap from 10/22 if my records are correct. Add: Ultimately it may be trying to make it back to that upward TL on the daily.

    Absolutely ... will definitely revert to the 20ema on 5min some time today. If fading, I'd be most comfortable after 3+ legs though.

    Where did index futures settle yesterday?

    Same here ... yesterday's chart shows 01.75 close, today it says settlement was 06.75. There's often a discrepency of a couple ticks or so, but these #'s are vastly different.

    What is pre-open in the futures market?

    Futures trade electronically 'round the clock except for the brief blackout periods after normal pit session hours end (for CL, the blackout is not immediately after the pit close, but for ES, YM ... the 1st of 2 blackouts is.) Check the exchange websites for exact times. You can trade (have...
