    I can't think of many news events that would sustain a move like that. I tell ya, I never punched up ccn.com so fast in my life, not that any news site would responds as quick as the market. I don't think Japan is open yet either, fat finger is the only thing I can figure. My 76.5 bid awaits....

  6. here's a guess: someone bought 2k contracts at 1375 level, then a 1380 buy stop was triggered, then that triggered a bunch of other buy stops.

  7. Thanks, riding the Dow Mini up from 11300 to 12000 was nice. I cannot force myself to trade it now, their has been zero correction a straight line up with a 5 day of lateral movement then up up up.

    I am really digging the beans, tight spreads, low low margins plenty of liquidity, its a breathe of fresh air indeed.

    Yeah, I hope those trades aren't busted. I covered 3 of my 10 at 79.50, maybe I better hold the rest so I don't end up short tomorrow morning. If they do bust, they better make a decision soon.
