  1. Nikkei down at bit and volume in NQ seems kind of high for a Sunday evening. We are below VWAP, so I’m looking to go short say at 12,540 area. Stop in the 12,570 area. Actuallly am short 1 MNQ from 12,545.50 as a “Warm up” trade. Target Friday’s low. Dream big or go home!

  3. Was looking to short another MNQ at 12,538 stop, but TWA reset my order and I was filled at 12,542. Will exit part of my position on a 10 minute close above VWAP or hard stop at VWAP plus 6 points.

    Edit: Stopped out 1 at 12,551.50.

    Edit: Closed 1 at 12,549.00. on time stop. Since when do we get 6 nice green 10 minute bars?

    Stop on final 1 at 12,555.00

  4. I don't know brother. Consider how often we've gotten six straight M240 candles closing at or near their highs since this bull stated on 3/23 ...

    I don't play the short side all that often. 90% of my trades are longs. When I do short and we are in a bull market it is usually stocks and usually using puts instead of the common.

  6. I focus on buying stocks and shorting indexes, if I take a position. I know I’m fighting the weekly and the daily in NQ, but am willing to try catching a reversal on small size early in the week if I get some encouragement from correlated assets.

    Stop lowered to 12,551.00. If stopped, I take a nap and wait for Europe.

  7. Now flat. Equivelent loss, basis one contract, is 6.00 points. Bounced off intrasession support.

    Will take a nap and see what Europe brings.

  8. $TSLA. The rally anticipated for Friday came today as the market makers were issued a reprieve.

    $730 is my target on this long.

  10. +34 points from BO level posted last week. There was the 17 point hit on the bear breakout that was stick-saved by Goldman's Mark Delaney who finally tired of being wrong on the last 2000 points of TSLA.
