***********Sep 30 Trades************

End of my fiscal year today.
Interesting that the first day of the yr was a loss and the last day of the fiscal yr was a loss.

Begin: Flat.
End: 1 open short @10779

FIFO Order: +8 +12 -39 -48 +8 +16 -42 +9 -84 +4 -50 -5 = -261

Notes. I didnt take wht was given on several trades. On two more trades i made costly execution mistakes operating the mouse over the price ladder. Poor trading...tooo slow to react.

************Oct 2 Trades**************

Begin: 1 open short @10779. See sep 30 trades.
End: Flat.

FIFO Order:

+205 -7 -37 +12 +6 +5 +7 +9 +3 -10 +8 +6 -18 -14 -32 -25

Much of the YM action was at the limit - speed wise- of the price ladder movement for manual trading for scalping.

************Oct 7 Trades**********

Begin/End: Flat.

FIFO order: +6 +4 +4 = +16 tics.

I'll take those piker tics.:)

Im laying low. Risk for scalping right now is a bit too high for me.
Very quick/sudden chng in price direction can go 7 to 20 tics against you... within 1.5 seconds.

***********Oct 10 Trades***********

Begin/End: Flat.

+8 +14 = +22. Nice little piker dollars at low risk. I'll take it thankfully. Im still trying to hold back and trade very little. I must be able to scalp tics if im going to try for something bigger
with taking a position and trade around it. The last 2 wks price behavior at the "micro" level has been erratic and changes direction within a couple of seconds. Hard to read - for me anyway. i dont like the risk level. I'll just wait-try to protect capital.
