    I assume you trade CL and NG, I only ask because I'm looking into trading energies with some size. I currently trade FGBL, ZB, ZN and Fx. I scalp CL fine with 2 lots, but would like to move up to 10 lots and catch larger movements. What is you experience when dealing with 10+ lots?

  5. Was going to reshort the v/x today (+x -v) missed it by a few ticks, c'est la vie. Interesting week in the energies, hope everybody made it out alive. Have a good weekend all.

    Also to the guy above me, you might try paying attention to the spreads and scalping them v the outright futs. Ten lot of natty could get out of hand real quick, just look at yesterday. Landis is a sharp dude, he could definitely point you in a good direction. There are some real gems in these energy forums, spend a few hours reading them you will learn a lot.

  6. so WTH is happening to -V/+X; -V/+F, etc?

    It's all over the dang place. Seems like it spreads 10 cents one day, then converges 10 cents the next...

    Could the -V be related to the UNG roll??? I thought UNG would be selling V, driving V further down...

    Or is it just fundamentally driven?

    :confused:

  10. Sorry, I needed a mental vacation, was getting burned out. I sit at my trade desk from 7:00-4:30ish everyday, eat lunch and surf. Still burned out a little, but that's part of trading (at least for me), would like to have more time to go screw off.

    I have not done anymore NYMEX spreads since putting on the +H/-J that I posted earlier in this thread until today, will post that seperately now.
