====> what happens when you have a stop in with the futures
and something like this happens
the market obviously went "fast market"

I haven't traded the futures in such a long time that I'm not sure what would happen now .... so I called my broker -------

this last month or so I've been paper trading them to kinda adjust to what it feels like after 20+ years .......

According to my potential futures broker .....
------"the odds of getting the stop filled are next to zero in such a move as we just experienced ....."

it would have been executed (more than likely, according to her) at the momentary slow down 20 points later .....

As you recall from our past lengthy conversations about my GREAT hesitance to start trading the futures again ......

well, this is just the reason ....
dang
I've been there before and it's scary and COSTLY to be on the incorrect side .......

but the spreads on OEX and SPX are still driving me away ......

maybe .......... maybe not ......... ggggg

heck,
I"m too old for this
/////
think I'll start going to the horse races more ........ GGGGGGG
