Even more weird day today - good volume but likely even lower liquidity than yesterday - spread spikes all the time, little gaps all over the place. I had spoken with Baloo trader on Twitter y-day, he mentioned that cash index had like the lowest volume for the long time, while futures were good on volume. Same today, good volume in futures but likely very bad liquidity and probably very illiquid cash index too.

Hi Alex
Thanks for comments - it is very true that year end holds some surprises.
Coming weeks will be even with less volume.
For that the stop loss settings come in handy :-)

Good trades!
