:) AWESOME JM!

As far as I can tell only the euro and the jap yen have a lower spread ie looking at 1-2 on the euro and 2 on the yen atm. Also is there any place to view RT charts of these currencies? in regards to trading the DAX hmm are those only european futures?

thanks mhashe, seems pretty quite here tonite ... guess we have to wait for JM to get home before the thread starts up again :)

I did pretty decently today trading the YM; the last hour and 1/2 thou I didnt trade well; was trying to guess the breakout and would exit the trade 'fearing' the opposite breakout. Hence That really chewed into my profits. Lost an average of 23 points per contract on that mess (over 3...

I tired to trade in that back and forth price movement. Its hard to pick a side and have a small stop. I have a feeling we wont do much till close and just sit in this trading range but we have 13 mins left so well see what we do

tried to go long but got stopped out both times. The advantage of having bigger stops ie doesnt happen to you

maybe it was the drop in oil price as someone mentioned above. Ie oil went up alot then it came back down?

AAPL took a nose dive today; I was thinking about buying some puts at the open but I thought that it might fill the gap and then it was too late ...

ya kind of took me by surprise also; I caught some of it but missed out on alot because I didnt think it would happen.

ya I agree; I was trying to see where the support is at but ya its probably at a even number like 10450 I still think there is a strong likelyhood well break the support sooner or later (but of course have to see what the chart says) the market is like a woman just as soon as you think...

covered at 10463 may reenter but I couldnt figure out where the support was at ie somewhere between 10450 and 10465~

I went short here at 476; stop is 483; I went short earlier but exited the trade with a -5

right now I'm thinking we got people taking profits and shorts sneaking in ... I'm still thinking were going to move downward to the 10460 level; ie this isnt to say we wont head up to the 10490 level first. - usually when I try to 'guess' the market its a contrarian indicator - meaning...

ya I was pissed; didnt press the button so went from a 15 point gain to a 5 point loss. and I'm looking at the chart now and it looks like someone lit a fire under its posterior.

you held overnite with all that going on early on? isnt that stressful? I really couldnt tell what we were going to do early on

I went short the YM and the Euro close to the same time today; both had a break but the euro bounced back up quick (quicker that I had anticipated; thought we were in for another down move) ~10:30 sold the euro for a slight loss (thought we were going to head back down and were just...

hmmm where is the h&s? you talking about the price action from 10:30 -11:30~? I went short the euro but held on and then it jumped back up. Will the euro do the opposite of what the DOW does? Im not really sure whats going to happen next in the YM ... hmmm have to wait and see oh I...

you short here volente? with a 20 point stop? ie wheres your stop around~

this looks like a tough market to trade; I'm almost 'afraid' to try to scalp something here.

Thanks Steve for the info - all new to me so Ill have to read up on things a bit. As far as the new TWS platform. Checked it out; looks better - I need to find a way to update my currect TWS to that so I can keep my layout. SethArb, I'm still not sure about trading gold at nite .4-.6...
