March 4, 2015 fastest hands in the east

In order to earn money in e-mini Nasdaq or Dow Jones today, you had to have the fastest hands in the east
The markets have been quite volatile with extremely quick jump moves which required extremely fast reactions in order to get a good price.
Another thing was very strange auctions on reversals in the market. Many times confusing me and giving me contradictive information.

- T1 Too early, but I realized it quickly and killed the position at BE. -0
- T2 Reentry, but I realized that the market is not ready to rise yet. +3
- T3 Another quick long and quick profit taking +5
- T4 Probably the best trade of today, just 1 tick from the local high, though I had to close the position because of the auction +3
- T5 Too early but I at least managed the loss -4
- T6 Quick short, didn’t work so out at +3
- T7 Probably the worst trade today. I was pulled into the long just by the tape. -5
- T8 Nice long but there was already low volume and the market didn’t move som I killed it at +5
- T9 Nice long just 2 ticks from local low. This was very strange because my profit target was overshoot by 1 tick and I still didn’t get fill. I picked the lmt order with mouse but I didn’t release the mouse button so it should have been there. I don’t know actually what happened here. +4
