Fri.

1:00pm CDT - Damn beans - 7 ticks slippage on my entry!! That's $525 it cost me. I can handle a tick now and then, but 7?! Come on! Really? Still trading K contract and will until N contract has more volume, likely later this month.

Net breakdown (contracts traded):
ZS $644(6), GCL -$922(5)
RESULTS FOR DAY
Contracts:11
Net $P/L:-278
Wins:1
Losses:1
Win%:50
Avg$Win:644
Avg$Loss:-922

For the week, pretty much negated most of last week.

    How many contracts are on the bid and ask side usually, that does seem excessive.

    It varies alot but usually WAY more than the 6 I'm trying to throw around. Buying a tick over/under swing highs/lows doesn't help either.

    Oh I see, I guess your just trying to get in when too many others are. That used to happen to me with the YM, it's frustrating.
