Well, not much going on today thus far.

What do you think?

Note - I really don't care why you vote for what you did... This is just like watching paint dry and I thought we could do something to pass the time...

lol omg. Today sucked with the indexes and even with the bonds. Anyone feeling like the indexes are not the ideal place for day traders at the moment?

I had to scalp all morning for 7-10 ticks a trade.

Another reason to look at the Ags instead. As I've said before, why fight for your points if you don't have to....

I've had a YM position for over a month now which has built up 1000 points and I've just been adding to it on pullbacks. I can't imagine trying to day trade the indices right now. It must be so frustrating to see it go up and up if you're just scalping a few points here and there. I also played GBP/USD on the short side and ZB on the days of the big economic releases. I'm loving trading more than ever right now - low stress, low risk, high reward. I'm never going back to scalping again.

James - today was just flat out terrible in my opinion. Hence the reason for the post.

Other than today, it hasn't been too bad for me. Obviously so much goes into what a trader considers good trading areas, but I'm willing to go with the flow.

The current market condition has really made me a scalper. I am liking the bond markets alot better at the moment compared to the indexes.

notouch: Great stuff there you got on the YM. I still remember the day you went long.
