I'll just follow my current rules. What can happen? Overall, with the gains from prior day being offset by the overall losses from today, I'm down just under $300 for my entire futures investment, which considering the action on the short side, really isn't very bad. The market was very...

Yes, I wanted to enter a BUY at CLOSE market order and there has to be a way to do that I felt there might be a sell off at the close and that I might not be able to catch it. You have to manually enter that order at the top there. I haven't been able to do that. Can you help with the...

Covered all at 9540. I don't have a big loss overall, for all my YM trades, and I'll calculate it later on. It's a loss, but not big. Learning a lot! Thanks for the help. Appreciate it, DS.

I can't get the market close order formatted correctly. I've been using the click on the Bid and Ask up to now and the Market Close isn't an option for an order type in that method, but it is an option for order type in the place where you type in the whole order. Can you give me the proper...

Are we counting points as if we were trading one contract? Yes, right? Even if we're trading more than one, we're counting the points as one contract?

DS: Where do you stand on points on your shorts from yesterday and today? You have a couple of shorts still open, yes?

I get another short at 9637, yes? No?

21 points profit on the last one. I forget how many negative on the first two. :) I like the chipping thing but I only get one more short today and it's way up there! The last one was a nice one. Fun.

closed third position at 9555. holding two from yesterday I'd like to see a drop of another 85 points. sigh

short ym 9576. This is my third short position, two carried over from yesterday.

I'm outnumbered. lol

Tao: For the record, I find ethnic generalizations offensive.

Thank you, Mark. It's almost exactly at the cover price for today. I wonder if it always will be. We'll have to see!

Mark: Could you explain what that means? That's around my cover price. Thanks.

There's what I assume is a mistake in the IB quotes this morning. For the past 45 minutes I've been watching it, and the DJI is showing at 9500, but the YM is showing 9531-9535. This has not been static: there's been a range from 9499 to 9508 in the DOW and the YM also has been moving around...

I should have known it was intentional. ROFL!

It's CNBC, not CNBS, just so we are all clear about the rules. lol

short YM 9524 second and last position Ooopsie!

short ym 94.81

Good for you on CHINA. I'm holding 8 Asian Stocks or funds, have traded them quite a bit. On the futures, seemed like you shorted more than twice on Friday? Did you cover some? Are you using a model or TA, or some other method to decide when to take a new position? I'm just learning the...
