  2. Guilty of scalping too much in a choppy market again. +9 but commissions put me in the red. I lose!

  3. What do you use for a stop if you're buying for the overnight rally?

  4. I don't play.. just following the system for 2 years now and its free money imo


    no stops needed.

    worst you do is get out b/e whenever market decides to fill the gap down..

    but dont risk money on it imo

  6. Watch it with stops on ECBOT after hours!

    ECBOT has native stops, but IB doesn't support them yet. They use a simulated stop that is only actually active during normal trading hours. So simple stop orders on IB after hours on ECBOT won't work!

    Volente, so why did you short with such conviction a/h yesterday? Must say it was good trade if you held. In hindsight failure to break above 10400 was a signal of weakness. YM still moving south as I write.
