Nov 08 2011

(Participation in the room in real time requires membership)

Boring but nicely profitable day. A few trades worked for cool 1:3, plus couple scalps here and there. Not much action though. So, in case you missed it, read this article I've written while waiting for another play to come along (which it did).
