Placing a buy order @10573 for 1 lot. stop @10560.

Volume advances on the down moves, and declines on the up moves this year.

YM daily chart. again volume on the leg up sure is weak.

Stops being hit during the lunch lull is the only reason for spikes like that IMO. But as a professional I need to lose that opinion, and just focus on what is happening and not try to figure it out. I feel better now.

Perhaps you could post a chart of that analysis.

This really is a forum for YM traders, I recommend you buy this book, or check it out at your library, I checked it out at my library this is how I educated myself on FX. Its by Reuters and is very informative...

I trade in and out of currencies that are good carry trades, right now GBP,USD,AUD are good long carry opportunities. IMO USD looks the best. Hope this answers your question.

I recall you posting a photo of your workstation, and I think you said you earned your living from it, now its your turn post one of your accounts. If you don't I will understand.

That took 18 months to accomplish, I have not been trading much in index futures lately they really are loosing my attention.

I will do this one more time from one account, dont ask again.

This minor up trend sure is lacking the volume. Its trading like the contract is set to expire next week.

Every rookie knows their is some retracement, I guess I could say I added to my short position @10580 and now hey look at me everyone im in the chips! But thats not my style, I got stopped out @10581 oh well.

Well im still hanging in here with a 1 lot short @10570 stop @10581, that stop might be easy pickings tonight, spreads could be 10 points easy.

Yes thats when the most liquidity should be available. It happened so fast but im pretty sure that was a 3 point spread, your right though 2 point spreads have become pretty common. Right before the big CBOT IPO volumes were well over 100k. Guess that was all show.

I just saw a 3 point spread @2.23cst in the afternoon, wow this is weird no volume at all. And it looks like my stop is about to get hit. Not yet though, but the 2:40 crowd my take it out.

Wow what happened to the volume, its like 2003 volume. Oh I forgot the put on a big show for their IPO.
