Perhaps I should have listened to my own advice
I can't believe this. The market is going to wipe out most of my profits with this move (for the year I expect). I've written a bunch of Sept...
No new problems with buying and selling ES...just now my software won't exit. Had to force out exit by windows after waiting 5min.

That's where all my money went :( jk
I guess I should probably say I shouldn't be so quick to move my stop above BE. Notice how the original stop level (89.50) was not touched until...
No trades again today. Same plan as before..
Amazes me how much the bid ask book has 'slimmed' down. I don't recall the bid / ask ever being down so much. 5 depth of less than 1k in...
