If what happened today around 3:15-3:25 happens while I'm in the market, I'm going to freak out. How are you supposed to trade that kind of crap? As soon as I clicked buy or sell it would have already passed by stop by 5 points. Seriously scary stuff there! In fact, the entire day was just "different" from what I'm used to seeing. I'll take day after day going down anyday over this!
Oh sorry! I just realized that I wasn't in the DEMO account today. Oops. Everyone suggested I start with 1 contract -- not 40,000. Sorry about that.
How about 9:35am for starters. Days like today give me hemmorhoids as a day trader. Best to just relax and catch up on the Sopranos season 3 DVD.
