U could scalp with 1 or 2 contracts and depending on the move in your favor or against you close the position by trading double to contracts the other way. That way you can keep it as tight as 20 to 30 points against you and sooner or later you will pick up a runner, as well as get into the market rythm But with the last 2 hour's action I'd pre-load a buy and sell on both sides, just outside of the current range and depending on which way it breaks it should pick me up. (Conspiracy theories though have me thinking that placing these trigger trades allow the brokerages to see where they are and may just run the market to trigger these levels before reversing the trade, might just be paranoia!!)
