Today's results won't quite make the speculative return benchmark I posted over the weekend:


I used the 'depth of market' interface that I found over the weekend, which worked as specified. But I got stopped out twice in a row before winning two in a row, all within the first 45 minutes of trading after the 6:30 PST opening.

Since I was using a tighter stop than profit target ($75/$125) I actually made a $72.98 profit for the day (on 1 contract of /ES.)

But! It's clear that I would have made two in a row with a wider stop and a narrower profit target; If I'd flipped the two this a.m. I would have made a quick $141 or so.

Maybe I'll try this tomorrow ...
