    Yeah, the thread kinda died off eh?

    For my own trading openings flat out sucked for about 6 weeks up until this week (except the June witching), which out of nowhere has been my second best of the year, and I've cut my size down by 1/4.

    Oh well, just show up every day and play and let the numbers take care of themselves.

  8. If you search for "Don's Openings" there are several threads going back a few years. These will likely answer the questions that you have.

    Good luck!
