    On the 5 min chart I am buying the small pullback at the 10:15 bar( I use candlestick charts)
    My bias is short today, weak market, gap down..so this is the first pullback to get short...(or buy DXD)

    DXD only a trade, would sell any gains and buy back cheaper, I see the DOW putting in a small rally soon back to 7800, DXD is a strong buy at 60 or less not at 65+

    Why are you getting into DXD, SDS and FAZ now, this is a day to be SELLING those Ultra short ETFS not BUYING, you were suppose to be buying these at dow 8000++


    I sold all my FAZ in my IRA at $58 today, still holding a small position in my other portfolio, sold off my SMN @ 41.50 and SKF @ $160 as well. TODAY IS A DAY TO BE SELLING INVERSE ETFS NOT BUYING!!!!!!!

    These are just intraday trades and the direction is lower(that my charts say), I am only looking for a .80 move, not an IRA holding.

    If I'm wrong I am only risking $200 and moving on to the next trade.

    Bought the pullback on the 5 min chart.
    Gap up and holding, still buying pullbacks(on the short ETF's), bascally selling short rallies as long as we hold this initial move up, like we are right now.

    Is the input helpful??
