Pat ----

=====> I have not tried this gunslinger stuff in a long time; I hope I'm not too rusty

Heck, no .... you'll be fine ....... errrr .. I hope ....

My paper trading crapola is getting to me ......
but it's the only way I'm gonna ease back into trading the futures.

I KNOW what RUST is, ol bud ....... gggg

The broker gal keeps asking me when, when, am I gonna go live....
I'm way too cautious ..... AND the original el cheapo ...... gggg
Took me way too long a time to get this little bitty pile of dinero together and I don't have a whole lot of years to make any major recoup, either.

Back in the old days of my trading the futures, I was very comfortable with a double up and catch up or even as you're doing right now --- a triple up .....
hell, nowadays, I cut the loss so quick and go cower in the corner and lick my wounds and cry , cry , cry ........and whine a lot too.....
and this is over just the paper trades .....

With the equities, I still whine, too---
For example MTC just blindsided me again today .......
have lost a chunk for an old fat guy on that baby recently........

Good luck and I see SPZ 1120 holding for remainder of the day and mayhaps some climb into the close .......

My system has not given a sell signal and some of the other indices are holding up well.

So may be you'll be able to exit on a bounce -- though it may mean holding it overnight.

Good luck and I hope that it works out for you.

I am not going to try and day trade this any more today.
