Man I remember just a couple months ago, I loved going in to trade. What happened? I'm falling asleep.

I wouldn't expect much for the rest of today or tomorrow, the NCAA tourney will be on every TV on the floor of the exchanges, and trading will be taking a back-seat to watching the games. I know it sounds stupid, but that's the reality. Same thing will happen when The Masters is going on.

As long as you keep on making money, it's OK.

The only contract that is moving are the ZB ( bonds ).
Everything else is dead, totally dead.

Nope,

The futures spike up gave me a huge loss as my short position (already not so great) went heavily against me while the long positions barely moved. What a great day.

Not going in tomorrow, I can sleep at home. Plus it will be more productive since I won't lose anything.

I have not traded more than 20k shares a day in over a week.

Three Q's if I may:

1. Do you use a filter to get universe?

2. Was there better corrolation on EPS or RS ratings?

3. what is H/L range on float volumes on the long postitions?

If this to personal vis a vis strategies, I understand.

My stocks were terrible today, not relating to the futures, not trending, range 1/3 of what it should have been considering the futs, blocks getting taken out of nowhere all day long in .04 ranges...

I fear friday will be just as bad...
