[13:41] <@NihabaAshi> Position reversal was easy...the add was the tough part.
[13:42] <+szubaark> the "add" made it look like you wanted to make there would be NO "10 count"
[13:45] <@NihabaAshi> I've only have a few hours of trading each day for the past 2 weeks and most of it has occurred in low volatility junk.
[13:46] <@NihabaAshi> Decided today that if I caught a fast mover that was news related or felt like it was news related...I would throw in some additional contracts.
