    Off-topic, just a personal tip that I have learnt from being a little new to the spec and DT market.

    While the market is being quite boring and sluggish at the moment, it's really important to remember not to chase trades and try to make it interesting where it isn't - made too many trades in the last couple of weeks that have cost me brokerage or a few pips when there wasn't anything going on or trying to trade a bounce or reversal when one wasn't on (WGL as an example). Also have to take profits at these time - when the market is slow, it can lead to a tendency to hope for a bit more profit, but a profit is a profit and better than a loss or brokerage fees

    Probably sounds very simple and obvious, but I feel they are ideas that everyone has to keep in mind and are easy to forget when excited (or, alternatively, bored)
