  6. i'm getting beaten up now on my ym's and added a good few times (max adding/position)
    Luckily NQ is kicking ass for me
    Leaving them both to play out for now.
    Shame I missed the ES long earlier as that would have made it a nice day overall.
    But as it stands i'm long 2 instruments, 1 very nice, and 1 being a pain in the a$$

  7. Yes.

    You do anything in crude oil these days? If I'm not mistaken, you were trading that one quite a bit back in the day and I know it was the most popular instrument among many day traders on ET during a period of very low volatility in indices.

    These days low volatility in indices doesn't seem to be much of a problem anyway as the nominal index values have become so high.

    I dabbled a bit in crude oil myself, but haven't looked at it in ages.

    You should change your username to the most common day in index, instead of the one in ten years occurrences. Sounds simple, but works

    It's on my watch list, but I'm looking at it for longer moves and so far I haven't seen anything I like.

    If/when the situation in the Middle East goes back to its normal level of shittiness, I'll be looking for a months-long short.

    For intraday, etc., with my broker (IB) is not worth it, considering the ridiculously high margin (almost 18000 USD - who does it think it is, the NQ? :D)

  10. closing nq here for 130 points

    I'm sure we're gonna rip soon and i'll regret closing it (as I do 95% of the time on long trades!) but it's the area I planned to close it so yeah
