  1. yah it got filled right away, but it still hit 1330.25, I think.



    Hey, quick questions for you guys...do you change the profit margin if you think that you wont get the spread(correct term here, right?), because it started to trend the other way? So you take $100 profit insted of the $150 you had anticipated for that position? If so, what is you methodology behind exiting early or staying?

  2. I would add that the fills I get when demo trading the ES seems to be pretty realistic.

    Better to expect worse execution though.

  3. womp womp...market closing...probably gonna go the other way now. Oh well, worth a shot.

    may exit with the $75 profit if it starts to go the other way
