Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

bought CHAU mins ago around $15.75, if China bounces tonight this is going to $20+

DAMN this market is ALLL OVER THE PLACE, -200 to -300 moves in mins
 
So it looks like I will be getting $425 worth of FREE trades.....still doesn't make up for missing out on some of the trades I could have put on or sold this morning during the first 30 mins of trading, but its better than nothing.....
 
If my measurements are correct, it appears NQ hit limit down *twice* today. Is that right?

Lot of opportunity today - but also lots of opportunity to be hung out to dry. The liquidity was absolutely atrocious.

One amusing thing I noticed, however, is that liquidity in TF was deeper than NQ pretty much all day. Usually it's the reverse of that if I'm not mistaken. NQ's illiquidity was scary.

Yeah I avoid NQ like the plague...Some people are good with the vertical ramps and plunges, but I find that sort of thing impossible to manage well. That was a helluva "set-up", as in con job, the way NQ broke out to new highs (July OpEx), proceeded to pretend to make an orderly retracement and then broke like hell out the other side of that channel line...It was Oscar worthy.
