  • some of my morning reading was slightly bearish on the current technical setup, and that influenced my thinking to such a degree that i lowered my offers...
  • i had a fun and active weekend with my family, and am a bit tired this am...i wonder if this also influenced my decision making process to lower the offers so i did not have to deal with the uncertainty of an open position...

  • market likes softee's number's and pops the NQZ09 into my offering area...
  • i changed the initial offer of 1777.50 to the market, and was filled at 1775.50...
  • this trade: +17.17 NQ points/contract, 1 contract closed...
  • hoping for post open pullback, and bidding 1766.50...
  • also bidding 1753.50 for a second contract, but if the market is too stay bullish today, i would not expect this order to be filled...
  • flat the NQ, no offers...
