Same here on trading the YM. But you need to be able to trade the ES or some other index to hedge worst case scenario. ES most closely mimics the YM movement with every 10 YM points equaling about 1 ES point.

If Tradestations platform or your connection to the net goes down you can still call in a exit order though you get hit with I believe a $20 fee.

If the ecbot goes down thats effects all brokers and you will be trapped in your position till the ecbot comes back up. You cannot call an exit in and are left to hedge or pay the piper should it move against you.
Ill keep that in mind...so ill study both then. with the base platform being waved each 10 roundtrips, is the DOM the same as the tape for equities?
