No hedge at all, eh?

Okay, just wondering. I have 30 points right now.

But I was thinking more along the lines of when I start trading larger. I'm not too nuts about the idea of increasing size proportional to my account size. It smacks too much of Vegas. But I would imagine I would increase a small amount as time goes on.

Hm, 33 points.

Well I have a 4 o'clock at my dentist. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Hi, GZ

Not sure if I like the abrupt strength in this reflex rally and will apply trailing stops to my new long trades. Interesting that you use a money management stop when you're short the futures, but no trailing stop gain when you're long. Why is that?

The quick and the dead ... I like that characterization.
