The broker I used today charges 8x the commissions as my other most inexpensive broker. I may stop doing business with this brokerage.

I may drift back to micro oil next week. Oil has been dead the last couple of weeks. Not much range even during peak trading hours, 8am to 11am only like 80 tick range.
I just saw the ES in the last couple of minutes before 4pm. Big sell off in only like 2 minutes erased all the gains of the day.
I signed up for an Apex Trader Funding account yesterday and have been nervous about it for the past 24 hours. I cancelled the account and immediately feel better. Maybe I do not like other people telling me how to trade. Those funding prop firm situations just aren't for me.
