No, I don't iron those! Tried another short as it was going down after NFP. Out -10. Crazy moves, up and down like a yo-yo. I'm done for the night. Good luck!

It's too quick for me to type into FF.

I managed a Short from 7408. It did hit my projection of 7418 - I'm stupid for not putting an order there - some kind of weird ego thing to want to do it manually.... i guess internal fear of NFP.

Short at 7408 and 7380
