      Thanks Chris. Not my ideal style of trading anymore, but the last few days had to be a shark snapback and today we are seeing it’s correct direction.

      However it definitely does scare me fighting the fed. They have said they will do whatever it takes.

      Just need to be nimble and take the profits without greed. 30 points is good for me per trade in this volatility.

      Plan your trade, trade your plan!

        Let’s just round the Dow futures range and that is …

        22000 (bear) … 22250 (pivot) … 22500 (bull)

        Atm bears have the ball for rth kickoff but they
        must not drop it.

        Never give up, never surrender.

          These swings are nuts,so difficult to identify a good trade…then have the conviction to stick with it..like you said k…you could be healthily in the green..5 minutes later its vanished..i was looking to trade a move into a low today but following 160 handle move from the futures low yesterday its kinda hard to stay focused lol!

              I completely agree. Its not just a stupid move, but it is very frustrating to watch also, especially when you know it should not be doing so.

              We cannot say the upward momentum has gone yet. This morning was just retracing part of the rally, so far.

                If I was trying to sell the bad and buy the good
                then I would want a move up to sell into and
                then buy the dip.

                But that is pure Disney !

                    Dow bears still have the ball and need to make this S3L ‘normal’
                    and so the first hour or so is critical.

                    At Dow 22000 my nerve will go and I either close or flip long.

                      Yes sp500 2700 and above does seem likely … madness !

                      I think hatman was the first to note that target and
                      it is interesting that others agree using their
                      own analysis.

                      I will go with hatman’s timing and send him the
                      bill if it’s wrong !

                          Dow 22350 … that’s me done for today.

                          Where is that bottle of Beaujolais Villages.

                          To be honest I have a small cellar of them
                          put by for times like this.

                          As Flashman said … “If you have a drink
                          in the house and money in the bank then
                          things aren’t so bad”

                            Oh well I got very busy at open and missed the low. I had 28 points out of my 30 point target and its well gone now. I would have closed it manually on the way back up for less, but hey ho.

                            Short DAX 9863. Hopefully down into its close

                                Yes ‘K’ it is hard to be away from loved ones, yet it
                                is because we love them, that we must be away.
