    11 hours is tough. i traded in london for a bit last year and tried doing that and towards the end of the day i was so drained my trading really suffered.

    i remember 3 years ago trading afterhours with only 10 lots on prices. right before the close was a free for all then, just getting fills all over the place because people were sweeping the book every which way.

    im still havin' at it. oh if only it were the same as 3 years ago though! a variety of factors have made it a tougher trade since then. of late, it seems as though summer trading has definitely set in. i think from open to US open today it only did like 450K contracts. a year ago at this time i would say a mill would be about average for that time period. there is still money to be made though...

    I last traded it around Feb' this year. I scalp, but it seemed to give good swings of 8 points, now it looks like only 4 or so.

    Vol' looks good still, just got data up yesterday. Will watch it a while , who knows maybe give it a try again.
    Thanks,
