JO: HHH volume seems pretty low to me. How many shares are you committing per position?

When the 55 period moving average volume for one minute bars is below 5K, I usually pass as that would be "one" 100% trading position for me. Following yesterday's volume spikes (such as they were) the one minute bar 55 period simple moving average has remained fairly consistently below 3000 shares and prior to those volume spikes the average was around 1000 shares or below.

Is anyone having any trade execution delays trading the HHH due to liquidity?

PS: When trading I think it is always important to make sure there is sufficient liquidity to exit a position in a timely manner, even in a crunch BEFORE you enter a position.
