    ***********Sep 30 Trades************

    End of my fiscal year today.
    Interesting that the first day of the yr was a loss and the last day of the fiscal yr was a loss.

    Begin: Flat.
    End: 1 open short @10779

    FIFO Order: +8 +12 -39 -48 +8 +16 -42 +9 -84 +4 -50 -5 = -261

    Notes. I didnt take wht was given on several trades. On two more trades i made costly execution mistakes operating the mouse over the price ladder. Poor trading...tooo slow to react.

    ************Oct 2 Trades**************

    Begin: 1 open short @10779. See sep 30 trades.
    End: Flat.

    FIFO Order:

    +205 -7 -37 +12 +6 +5 +7 +9 +3 -10 +8 +6 -18 -14 -32 -25
    -17 +6 +24= +131 tics

    Much of the YM action was at the limit - speed wise- of the price ladder movement for manual trading for scalping.

    Begin/End: Flat.

    FIFO order: +6 +4 +4 = +16 tics.

    I'll take those piker tics.:)

    Im laying low. Risk for scalping right now is a bit too high for me.
    Very quick/sudden chng in price direction can go 7 to 20 tics against you... within 1.5 seconds.

    +8 +14 = +22. Nice little piker dollars at low risk. I'll take it thankfully. Im still trying to hold back and trade very little. I must be able to scalp tics if im going to try for something bigger
    with taking a position and trade around it. The last 2 wks price behavior at the "micro" level has been erratic and changes direction within a couple of seconds. Hard to read - for me anyway. i dont like the risk level. I'll just wait-try to protect capital.
