  1. Great job with the adjustments, Geez. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck the rest of the way.

    Thx nailer,
    Sometimes trying to out think the market bites you right in the $#%@.

    Fri a.m. I will continue to look for short patterns and bypass the long patterns that I may see. The sell-off yesterday makes the daily charts look weak again. We may get some rallies throughout the day, but since 8 of my last 9 long trades have gone for losses I will keep the short hat on.

    Good trading all!

    Mon a.m.

    With a gap down after a decent daily move down I will look for ONE long scalp early. After that I will continue to bypass the long set-ups and key on shorts. The longs I took the past 2 weeks have been losers 8 of 9 times, so I need to seee either a climax in the sell-off or a higher low on the daily charts before I commit to more longs.
