YM is choppy as hell today..., did look to double top around 928 though

Did you see that uvol/dvol technique I posted. Chan's mentioned it before so you've probably seen it already. That confirmed for me it should be pretty choppy so far today, so I've taken a paper long and a paper short. If it's choppy and I get good looks why not trade both sides right.

$375 on 2-2lot trades. Both hit the 2nd target today. Sometimes you just see the range and it all clicks, other days you can't see crap, and I need to learn not to do anything on those days.

You only trade 1 lot right, is it equity limitations that keep you from playing 2 scaling out on halfs or you just like the all in/all out method?

Actually i havent seen that out but im checking it out now....sounds like real good stuff

Yes i only trade one lot., not the most effective but it is for equity limitations... Im pretty young and have a lot of expenses.... not to mention im aware my skill set is not there i need to make this capital stretch and preserve for a while until i eventually figure it out

Im going to start a new journal , for equities... stopped trading futures again.. plain and simple they move to damn fast for me to trade and learn them at my day job..., i felt i learned sooo much more while trading equities as i could position and swing trade... something im not capable of because of the ridiculous leverage in futures... luckily i figured this out b4 losing any of my capital..
