      Oh dear, you are right.

      I need to wake up. Will a scotch do the trick or should I save it for later when I may need it.

        Ironic that we’ve been waiting for this for months & months.

        I get caught long, K you’re nett long, and Dan not short.

        Mustards, but live to fight another day, still up on the year and thanks Dan – there will be no anger trading here.

          I know, it sucks Nigel.

          Still I did well last week all in all although yes had I held my supposed running shorts I’d be double the amount banked. Just like China they’ll likely rally this mustard up sharply but it’ll end up lower again like China managed today and that Nasdaq did back in the day….. Back in the Nasdaq 50% drop it had 19 out of 20 of it’s biggest percentage up days… Be prepared for further very sharp big moves. If it gets back to 2000 or so it’ll be tempting for shorts but will allow systems to dictate. What happens if we get $vold 3 !!!?

            It is ironic but one will always get caught up in the first drop after a bull because they have conditioned us for years to either buy the dip or close shorts on the dip to reshort higher.

            SPX isdown near 200 points in a few days.

            Nothing stops it from going lower but if I know these mustards they will be a technical bounce.

            It can even be a few days wonder and back up to new highs.

            No idea and not worth trying to think that far ahead.

            Lets just trade

              How about scotch eggs for breakfast after that faux pas ?

              Sorry to hear Qman, gotta roll with the punches. That was  a good point Dan made about taking a hit for a small loss on his longs last week rather than wake up to mega gap down.

              The only silver lining here is that volatility will continue to be high, with the market trying to find a footing, so smallish stakes will still yield a lot of points, need to avoid being gun shy after such a bruising, but never fear Kman the resident crash trading expert is here -he seems to excel in these environments 😉

                Silver dying yet again

                My ES from this morning has 14 points.

                  Oh well from 14 points profit to a loss.

                  I will have to change the style back to 7-10 pointers again rather than mega points.

                  It is all about adapting to the markets, which looks like is going to take me a few days.

                  This looks scary to me for sure lol

                    Really hard to say what the plan will be today until we see open, then early low / high.

                    DDUD DAY6, KTS DAY3

                    Double $VOLD is intriguing.

                          Low 1898.

                          You just cannot catch this falling knife like this in globex.

                          I wanted to wait until open.

                          ES now -78

                              Shame really having planned for this, one is not on board for it.

                              Never mind. Banked horrific points up till now this year and particularly last few months., so now its about giving some back. It has to be a give take relationship for long term sustainability.

                                I tell you this is really scary. This is unwatchable and I just want to fast forward to RTH open.

                                  Globex becomes so random as there are no market internals one can watch. Ie no TRIN, TICK, VOLD, VIX etc.
