I'm not trading dec contract anymore. Looking for further shorts but I believe I may need to take a break. I still would like to maintain a longer term short position.
I'm feeling tired and green giant creeping up; therefore, I have to bail out and check myself off the rollercoaster.

a little opportunity here, the shorts cover Z and move to short H and up we go

If someone is not holding positions past close, any reason to not trade Z today? Vol is 3:1 over H still ... H becomes front month contract at 4:30pm ET today, see no reason to jump to less liquidity right now?

Right on, Josh. I forget I'm not just talking to myself. I'm not expecting to enter a position for the rest of the day. I should have been more clear on my post.

That being said, you know how things play out. I'll get the itch to make a move and if I'm going to take a quick scalp I'll most likely stay with Z.

Yeah it's all good, I mean, both contracts are fully liquid enough for anyone here to get good fills, but I have an easier time with reading the volume on the Z contract as the numbers are more familiar to me. I'll be switching probably end of day today, as long as volume takes over on the H.
