[11:02] {dino} in at .75 clf l sm
[11:02] {gregns} ty ese i remember when you traded drys last year and did well
[11:04] {ese} it was vads scalping video that got me on to this......had never considered trading more than a 1/2 lot to full lot...but when he demonstated buying 3/4k in certain situations the light went on
[11:05] {ese} i do that in scalping situations but also apply it to some swing trading setups that work for me
