I'm jumping over to the futures market from the micro forex world where I kept leverage down. I am obviously a bit undercapitalized. I plan on trading scalps on one of the big equities like YM for couple dozens of ticks within 1~2 hrs during the most liquid hours, regular open.

My question is how folks manage black swan events. My fear is to get trapped in a trade when liquidity dries up or the exchange limits.

If you are trading something like the YM, CL, ES and the like during normal trading hours liquidity should not be a problem. As a scalper most option strategies will not help much.
