volente do you mind posting your whole system here? or even PMing it to certain people. I'm not looking to copy it; I just need to improve my trading. It helps me to see how other people trade and to modify my own trading if need be.

what has been your average number of trades daily in YM? Well its been a bit more of late 15-20 round trips~ (and to be honest I make most of my money on like 3~ of those round trips; then with 3/4 of the other trades being small losses and 1/4 being small gains - thats what it has been like...

10508 sold; bought again at 520 sold then at 531; I'll have to evaluate this to determine if I should of held on ie missed out on 12 points there. I evaluated my trade; even thou I missed out on 12 points the selling at 508 was the right choice; I determined support was at 510 it closed at...

JM I was going to ask you; with your trades at the end of the day today did you have problems with that consolidation? ie did you get wipsawed? were you worried about a breakout in one direction or another. How did you play it?

-little off topic- I was trading the euro earlier and caught a nice upmove; I ended up selling for a nice profit; but then later as it consolidated; I thought "hey I can play this one again for more money I think its going up; it really looks like it will go up". I should of know that for...

JM here my take on the YM http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/5140/ym928055bh.gif ie 30 min chart; using that here because it shows all the needed things on it. #1 is the line at 10540 you were talking about #2 are the various support lines before the very large support at the bottom...
