    If my measurements are correct, it appears NQ hit limit down *twice* today. Is that right?

    Lot of opportunity today - but also lots of opportunity to be hung out to dry. The liquidity was absolutely atrocious.

    One amusing thing I noticed, however, is that liquidity in TF was deeper than NQ pretty much all day. Usually it's the reverse of that if I'm not mistaken. NQ's illiquidity was scary.

  8. Yeah I avoid NQ like the plague...Some people are good with the vertical ramps and plunges, but I find that sort of thing impossible to manage well. That was a helluva "set-up", as in con job, the way NQ broke out to new highs (July OpEx), proceeded to pretend to make an orderly retracement and then broke like hell out the other side of that channel line...It was Oscar worthy.
