    MSFT held on to its after-market gains (so far) while GOOGL hasn't - which maybe is a harbinger for META reporting after the close.

    So as we see NQ leading the others down into the opening bell.

    Calhoun's crash call not looking any better these days. Let's check in on his main call :

    "Going on record as saying PLAY OF THE YEAR is buying UVXY for swing starting here at $6.50/share on 15Mar23, selling into 15-18 region."

    UVXY is currently 3.5. Down 46% in less then 2 months.

  4. This thread is still alive? Anyone adapting my style to grind away? It's been like clock work that 50sma trades. A few whipsaws here and there, but R/R has just been excellent.

    Not sure what mkts will do from here over summer, but it shouldn;t matter cuz we are trading intraday mostly and should still be reasonable profitable. Maybe recap one last time tomorrow here then let this thread die :).

    BTW, why anyone would belittle Ken's call is beyond me. Who cares, he made a call, was not right, move on. For all we know he could have gone long afterwards and is killing it... Ken?

    Beyond each day-trading horizon, it's all about the raising the debt-limit stalemate.

  8. it seems your portfolio you traded most Futes and have tiny position in US equities stocks overall. So u are more comfortable trading Futes than stocks? How long you have been trading Futes? Do u also swing trade Futes like holding it overnight or for a few days?

  9. Hey, I just realized you are the guy I was accused of being, in the beginning of this thread, lol.

    This portfolio I was trading equities from Oct 2022 til about mid Jan 2023, when I started trading futures. There was some carry-over of positions and some accidental equities trades.

    I have been using NQ futes as a hedge for our 401ks since mid 2019, as the 401k admins are very restrictive about going in and out of their funds. By the end of 2021 I had a decent understanding of how it traded, having watched it closely for 2 years. I started actively trading it in Jan this year.

    I will keep a position if it is trending on both the 5 and 15 min chart, but will usually have a trailing stop of around 7pts on it. So generally I don't carry overnight.

    I'm trying to hang onto a 1.5% return today. it's been between .7-2.0% Will do 1 compete last followup eod.
