*************Oct 24 Trades***********

Begin/end: Flat.

FIFO order: +109 +6 +8 +25 = + 148 tics.
Again, action was very fast on the price ladder/DOM. You can get your ass handed to ya at any moment it seemed. Very similar action for the last couple of weeks.
Im still using ZLT and its working just fine for what im doing.
Trading with no target and no stop. Take what im offered. On Tues(?) on one piker trade i went +6 after price ran 90 pts against me. Geezz that was a bad entry! Damn lucky!
Im glad its the end of the wk. Ive had enough of this market even if most of the time its "exciting". On we go.

Hey RCJ,
How are you? How is your YM trading going lately?...did I see you took like a 200 point loss?...question: have you noticed that the YM bid/ask spreads have been wider in the last weeks?...also, thinner DOM...I have not traded it lately for those reasons...what have you been seeing?...still trading 1 to 2 contracts per trade?best to you!
