Thanks Osorico, your posts are spot on! I am making some changes as of today.
Sorry, I can't answer that for obvious reasons.
You are correct about the commission Pekelo, however what killed me was excessive loss on ER2. My net gain on ES was 305 which is 6 points after...
I'm very upset about today. After being up 240 in the morning I lost everything and then some in the afternoon. I got my a** handed to me on ER2....
