    I havent posted rresults for several cycles worth of activity. I may just put them together in a doc file and post - easier.

    Not holding any contracts at moment. Traded out of everything over the past two weeks. Net lose for sept was 2k. So far in Oct ive made 2.2k. Thats the most $ ive ever made on YM.

    Ok, this last cycle was: +7 +9 +10 +6 +4 = +36
    The first entry wuz to clear out a short from previous overnite.
