    Nice short IV, and if it helps at all I covered my short @ 85.65 about the time you posted this :)

    If you like to counter-trend trade, you got to pull the trigger as soon as you feel that price exhaustion. That's when you can have a super tight stop, low risk.

    Great entry on that trade, that's where I normally enter a trade. No idea why I hesitated to pull the trigger :D :eek: :D

    EDIT: On a long @ .73 I'd have locked in 20 ticks profit when price hit previous S zone (86.01) and stalled, because the former uptrend had reversed and that would be a zone to sell short.

    EDIT II: Also I just noticed that is where one of those orange "pivot point" lines is. I added those a while back and really have found no consistency to price reacting to them. It seems 50/50 to me. Does anyone use pivot points?

    Damn, if I only traded ES I think I would've chewed my arm off by now, trapped in that range :p

    Now stop it. :)

    But it sure felt like it last month. Can't remember how many times I got stopped out to the T.

    Anyway, am I the only bear around here?
