flat YM @300.

major lesson learned...

Trade multiple of 2 YM contracts for fungibility with DJ. Especially useful during times of exogenous exchange issues.

EDIT: I hope all you shorts that were whining during the outage and then held after it came back realize how lucky you got. The thing to do is to make "luck" part of your plan.
