Tough to be a buyer today Gary, but I also am long ES down here. After such a sharp overnight plummet, the market has mostly rebalanced, and is not doing a very good job moving away from the balance to the downside (though I must admit, a better job moving down than it has moving up so far!) It seems that it may want to try to get back up into balance above. We will see I suppose. Good luck with your long here buddy.

Oh shoot, what an screw up. I just accidently hit close whileI was talking to someone... While I am up, not I have to re-enter...
By habit I hover my cursor over the close bar as a panic stop for myself, and I guess the trigger is a little loose.
The problem now is more about rules. I was in a 104.67 with a stop at 104.50. No matter what happended, I was up for the day. Now, price is around 104.91, so the same stop puts me at a far great risk. I need a new "trade trigger" to follow my rulkes. I am not allowed to just jump back in.
