In order to totally humiliate me, ER2 took back all I've done this week in 3 fast plays in this first hour. Three losers in a row spell quitting time for today. What an erratic first hour! Hope others are having better fortune.

I sold about 1550. I don't know if IB upped the margin. Whatever the case, I'm able to cover it (only 2 contracts).

No chance of me holding overnight. So I don't think about margin at those times.

I just obsess about the intracandle range, 2 to 6 pts. or so on a 20 min chart! That's what I deal with on that long of a trade, where it's 3 hours or so. I don't like red candles or dojis, either.
