    No, what I'm saying is that in my spec account my delta directional exposure to the broad equity market index is minimal by trading system design and intent. That's one of the positives to trading properly constructed futures spreads.

    My 401K, on the other hand, as I said is heavily delta directional with the broader equity index market and has been for several years. That's what I said.

    I was curious to see your trading approach performance, and obviously I respect your decision to share it or not. Some people, rightfully, prefer to not expose themselves to potential trolling. :) It is just that on the quasi-anonymous Internet (never forget the omniscient big-brother-google), it's so difficult to sift out the bad from good, the bogus from genuine. So much information, so little time ...

    No. What I meant to say is that I would not post trades in this thread until THE top is in.

    Sorry. I didn't pay attention. I'm curious about recent calls. Could you point me to a thread with recent calls, ES or others? Have you consistently made calls on this threa? I haven't read it. What time frame are you calling?

    With all due respect you are exceedingly passive aggressive. Which is trolling.

    And after reviewing your posts as of late you are quite heavy on the [Jokes 2] and sarcastic put-offs and virtually non-existent when it comes to meaningful trade craft related content. Just an observation.

    Instead of the bantering, anybody seen my buy signal yesterday? That was 18 points ago...

    Nice. Over on the Zero Risk thread Rickshaw Man bought 2564’s yesterday evening and he's already got ten points in it. That seems to be what the deep pockets have been doing for, like, the past several years....

    All price action features consolidation points, corrections, and retracements. It’s an unavoidable and even quite necessary Universal tenet.

    In fact, an old mentor of mine once schooled me that he wouldn’t buy into a rally or short into a sell off without a retracement or correction because it’s providing the volume or fuel to sustain that market thrust.

    Do I have any idea if the market will have a truly meaningful sell-off or will the rally continue? Of course not. It’s all about calculated risk and the path of pain.

    And at this point in time the big institutionals are still seeing yield in the U.S. equity markets.
