I specifically traded only the pm because I have traditionally found it easier. It should have been a reasonably volatile day today re retail...
sorry - if globex goes down - apart from full sp nd, you could try cbot as last resort. DJ/mini or DJ options. Or perhaps, if you are following...

"I want to clean my patch. Right." Just a quote from a UK surreal TV comedy "Triggerhappy TV". Like your "Jackass TV" only better!!!:p :p :p

Good luck to those who pull 20pts+++ a day and all the others. I managed to take 10 (excrutiatingly slow) points off the NQ yesterday. And I...
