    I am an S&P bull for the most part. But that won't keep me from taking a short scalp when a defined set up presents itself. I used a -2.5 point stop loss and a +5 point take profit.

    This is my Topstep prop account. I passed a second combine with Topstep yesterday so I copy traded the new funded account so this is x2.

    I will probably sign up for a 3rd combine next week.

  2. Good call by @QTrader20. It's sell the rips for now it seems.

    Good call by @schizo, too, although a day too early. :)

  6. I was just saying people take it too seriously/ think that news or events actually matter, when it is designed to go up regardless.

  7. Well it has to \ in order to / right? Just look at all the long term charts, the bias is obviously the up part of the V. The real question is how big of a V are we getting and of course the larger and faster the initial drop, the bigger the V will be. If it's in a chop zone then the V's will be smaller. So April or July is more ideal for larger V's.

    Are you trading zdte options on the Q's/SPY, and if I may be so bold, what is your success rate?

    Now oftentimes in forums like this, a well intentioned honest question from one party sets off defensive posturing in the other party. I am not trying to do that. I would honestly like to know how you rate your own performance in this realm.
