Good Luck tomorrow.

I'm looking at Globex, I just got in. Seems I missed the high of the evening so far and it's been dropping as I watch.

I am unsure about tomorrow. But I am thinking along these lines. If I can sell 1005 with perhaps a 7 or 8 point stop I may be safe through tomorrow.

I have to think about it a bit longer. Suffice to say, if Globex does crest 05 before I hit the sack I shall be in a position, for better or worse. All I'm thinking about right now is whether or not I will sell lower than that as it's dropped from 03.50 when I came in to 02 and a small bit.

This evening my accountant gave me my taxes to file, so I shall be up for a while and I guess I may as well go through this stuff as I am plotting this out.

Globex is so funny. I went on the offer and the market dropped a full point.

Headlines in the Friday WSJ...."Mysterious Trader Slams Overnight Trading in Globex Futures". Film at Eleven.

EDIT Now a point and a half. I feel like the guy who shot Archduke Ferdinand.

EDIT Now almost 3 points. Perhaps I should put in a buy order to drive it back up to my sell order?

3 points.

I give up; I'm just not lucky I guess.

Getting close to 4 points. On a normal day I would have closed this out for 4 points in such a short time. Oh well, catch you in the AM; I will be around for a short time before I hit the links.
