  6. F$CK you algorithim sat short from 122.05 to 122.09 for hours then they come off all at once. These mkts are extremely challenging I lost money being short a lot the last couple of weeks as the M contract went from 126 to 121. very difficult rips gave my whole month up the last 3 days of the month being undisciplined. If you are wrong sometimes it doesn't come back and you are F$ucked! Trading a lot more spooz these days curve is all messed up. I have not traded cash in a while since the futures are much much deeper. Especially the ten year I know a lot guys who used to trade cash that don't anymore and a lot of firms in Chicago have trimmed their cash groups down to nothing. not worth the margin and risk these days.
