  2. How do you trade? Do you use any level 2 data? Consider NQ, TF and ES too.

    never used level 2 before. try to KISS (keep it simple stupid) - learning price action, so single chart, no indicators.

    Thought I'd also try and be one of those "look at my great day but don't ask about yesterday" guys. It's been very quiet with little movement either way the past few months.
    Record day.

    Thanks njrookie and sellindexvol. A fairly bad first half for me though (36% thus far), quite a lot below my goal of 50% - can't blame a "bad trading environment" either as it clearly wasn't that. Would be interesting to know the first half results of people.
