lol, yep, its really the best way to get a good understanding of excactly how much leverage, and how big even a one lot is...funny how when your scalping, 5,000 bushels, doesn't seem like much, but when you actually have to store the stuff...well its bulky..
Plus, you know, if you don't have a seat, you have to pay for it before you can re tender it. Then the concept of leverage really comes home.

Sell limit just above 3600 for the day. We'll see in the morning.

I've done some similar moves, only much more bone headed ones...some of my classics in the old days where trying to paint the last price on globex...globex would show the last best bid or ask as the last price....so say a market was sitting on the low of the day, and was maybe 2 or 3 wide, if I was short, I would constantly offer just above the bid,which many times was mine... for a split second, or use a the fill or kill order...many times I was picked off lol..

hehe, always fun to trade with yourself

have done a lot of stupid stuff myself, especially when trying to trick the robots on the smaller bourses...

3590 is probably protected. so the targets are either 3513 or 3524 before 3590. nearest to 3590 would be the better r/r w/o touching it.
still valid

No joy there. But from pure market dynamics, there's going to have to be a bounce. Within 8 hours, the whole damn world is going to be bearish. Can't hold.
00est closed with a day bear b/o.. below 3583

After what you said, I had to go back and look. The future's low was 21 from the chart. I was 27. I should start a damned signal service.

Morning Hatch,

Asia sell off and Europe still waking up for the FED news. London to open with a mix bag of macro numbers. Stock markets in full control of Euro and currencies.

Euro overextended H4 and below and a breather will be nice before complete the move to 1.349x. Below it will need a daily beak but still open today given the momentum and FA aligned.

Any views for this morning?

I have that daily breakout already, waiting for a bounce to add. If it moves to the upside, I'm looking for an entry between 3630 and 3646 first. I'm not going to play any longs today, this is weighing too heavy at the moment.

I don't see any dropping yet, is Frank opening range. Surely London can sell in a straight line today given the momentum and distance to next S but Frankfurt small pushing down first with the reports combo is opening a weak hands bear trap to sell at the last break out point.

We'll see

@ Hatch ...agree with your view...looking for the same
