"re-entered ES short @ 1015.75 My stop was hit this morning. , took 6 points loss. Semis, GS, AAPL, Commodities and related stocks are all weak, USD is strong. ES might be breaking out but it is more likely that this first test will produce a sell off down to 930 area. PS: Stop for this trade is 4 points (1019.75)" http://xtrends.blogspot.com/2009/08/re-entered-es-short-101575.html Well, he dumped another 150k after today's run and is trying another short right behind that one. Don't know about picking a top right now... seems like a sort of a tilt trade to me... especially on a summer Friday :eek: good luck on it though, it would be a nice trade if it works out and you can at least cut some of your recent losses! edit: Nice trade so far (Up 9 and change at the close) though either way it works out.
Going from 350K to 4M to 0 must suck big time but I am noticing serious divergences in the dailies and add to it the market's inability to make new highs on supposedly good news today, so this may be a good trade but getting to 930 is another question. 950 is a possibility.
added the other 50% ES short @ 1010.75 Stop 1014.5 Posted by Sol at 8/12/2009 02:57:00 Like a true contrarian Seeing the system shorting like there is no tomorrow, I just have to contradict my previous comments. I shorted 50% (250 contract) @ 1006.25 with a MENTAL STOP right below 1010 Shorted ES @ 1004 stop 1007.25 Posted by Sol at 8/12/2009 10:03:00 It looks like another -150K based on the average up. and not sure about position size of the first trade, but if he is still doing 500 full size then an additional -81K for this trade from yesterday also. At least he banked some profits from his short on Friday and looks like he traded long also. I don't know how much he has on hand but these have to be fairly large percentage swings up and down.
Used to be a guy here named Bluestreek. An amazing wrong-way trader and the perfect fade. Blackguard is going to beat his record! And FWIW, lightening strikes tall TV towers and buildings in the same spot (lightening ground shunt) again and again...
That's not a blotter bozo. That's a spread sheet anyone could fill in the blanks. People fall for anything. How dumb do they come
Placed hard stops btw 1012.25-1015 for all I am carrying the largest ES position of my entire career. Now I am going to have a few dogs and some pop corn. Watching it like this doesn't do any good. Size requires respect for stops that is all I can do. I will let the other kids enjoy Coney Island Cyclone for the rest of the day. http://xtrends.blogspot.com/2009/08/placed-hard-stops-btw-101225-1015-for.html#disqus_thread Looks like he's back in and now holding 700 contracts short overnight if he isn't stopped out first. Wow, I thought he was slowing down since dropping so much money earlier. 700 contracts for one trade is not quite slowing down... stops between 1012.25 and 1015.00. He has balls for sure but this could get ugly...
