    In case no mentions it to you, the ES tick is $12.50, while the YM is $5. You may want to make an adjustment, before you get into problems.
    Good luck

  5. 960 was the average. Actually, 960.6. I scaled in for 5 at 960, 5 at 961 and another 5 at 961.

  6. Yea, I know what each tick is worth. I just never did the math before to figure out exactly what the wash out would be if I had to hedge.

    So, a learning experience.
