    only made 60 something points on the YM...should have held for more, but couldn't move my target fast enough. I was busy moving my stop down. Ah well, there's gonna be another one in January. I'll do better then.

  7. As I said, I am no genius. I gave it all back this morning when it gapped down. I got out (stupid stupid me). Because I fall below the account minimum by a couple grand for being a pattern day trader, I picked up DXD this morning when I observed the Dow tranding down. We'll see.

  8. Why was it a mess? It was a thing of beauty.

    Great question. Not cutting the disc rate further, I thought maybe some signal of enough rate cuts. Didn't think the Disc window was this big of a factor now, either. Combine with that of whipping myself into a frenzy of trading and POW! Expanded ranges means expanded entry = Losing on buying bonds early, too.
