  1. Back then I was paying the spread... and I was trying to scalp index futures, i tried it for some time with mediocre results, then I went back to stocks. In stocks I used to remove liquidity trying to get ahead of big orders sitting on the NYB, but then in november the hybrid market put an end to that, so I learned to take advantage of the spread in thin stocks... using only small orders [that happens to bring up the number of trades exponentially...]

    and about a month ago I stopped trading for some time [again] and for now Im working back office, which gives me the chance to look at many traders and get ideas that I can later put into my trading once I go back to the front lines...
