I am thinking about going short in the YM late today 03.22.07

You don't have an edge.

So what's the point?

 

Dec 26 trades.

Begin 1 short open @ 13643
End 1 short open @ 13611.

In FIFO order: +13 +18 +7 -9 = +29

End 1 short @ 13441

By FIFO: -30.

Note. For 2008 im switching to average cost. Its too confusing when looking at the daily net i post every 2 or 3 wks since im often holding 1 or 2 short while trading doing another short. For example, in the next post im putting up the daily net list which shows over 400$ realized for dec 31 per IB.
