I don't remember the last short I took ... I don't think I've had one in months. I tend to trade in the direction of the daily. I'd have to look ... does anyone remember me posting any shorts to the journal recently?
Yesterday the VIX was up 8.40% on the cash open. Futures where down 0.24% Today the futures are up 0.20% and the VIX is down 1.45%. Remember in a rising market the VIX will typically gap up 5.00% on Mondays, regardless what the futures are doing.
Brave man ... imo, this looks like we got professional buyers buying again. They will will buy everything you want to sell so you'll have no problems with fills. In fact, you should be able to sell at progressively higher prices through out the day. Anything can happen, but my money is on a new rally high close today. I would love this thing to settle down and give us a 15 or 20 minute pullback, however.
i trade a specific way, and the actual fills are on vacation in disneyland when they comeback i will ask them pay you a visit.
All data points are positive, stocks about to make all time highs. So what the FOMC going to say next week.....we love bubbles.....They need a data point to back up there sit on our hands approach
