i am short the nq here. i also took a small loss last ngiht 80 bucks. this is my first loss in the SAC on a daily basis. sunday is a day. slowly digging my way out now since i had computer issues and charting issues not tradeovate but another customizable charting platform not mainstream. I could have exited with a 12 dollar loss at my best print while in the mkt this would have given me a net gain of 20 bucks on the night. however i did not and as the pain increaased and i needed to go to sleep i just exited at the worst time then 10 minutes later i would have been at break even. this what the mkt does to you at times. a brid in the hand is worth 2 in the bush as they say!! lofty levels in the nq
apparently tradeovate considers sudnay night trading to be a part of monday s trades so here i am as of right now digging my way out slowly in this SAC. small account challenge i was down 80 bucks net
es wont budge 2 steps back one step forwad or 2 steps up and 3 steps down and the oil sell off is not helping
i dont trade the es much because the tick size is ridiculous and set up strictly for members to take 1 tick at a time all day every day and lin etheir pockets. same with hft. 12.50 is nuts 25 bucks in and 25 bucks out even iwht a limit order u still pay this by not getting filled gtc orders from months ago have priority the hft just paly a game of cancel thats all
finally in the green again up a whopping 14 dollars net tough day for me so far but made up last nights loss in this SAC
do you understand why the cancel order is your fastest order? if not you should not be trading futures
