as a trader its very hard to buy indiscriminately. i am treating today like any other day and waiting for a set up. i CANNOT get caught up in the mania. if i miss out,i simply miss out. monday is another day.
I am buying at today's open, in December Soybean Meal (I assume that's what you are referring to). I expect quite a few people will be doing the same thing, not all of whom are amateurs.
thats why i say everyday should be treated the same.
WAIT FOR SET UPS !!
buying a huge gap will get you to the poor house; or "to the PO house as my friend tyrone likes to say.
