The day turned out okay after all. Funny thing is I wasn't even that confident in the long side this morning and even took a short, but I figured we'd get that 5600 SPX touch if we broke out. On the morning rally I was wondering if that was it and I took a loss on my initial long. Went long again on the false breakout of the LOD and had low expectations. When we closed upon SPX 5600 the second time, I decided to just hold it and see what happened. After it seemed obvious nobody was selling and we broke out, I decided to just hold. Now it's soccer time! PS: Maybe it would be better for me to not post trades here. It can be a bit distracting.
One question (more for you than for me): if you had just held the long from this morning into the close, would you be better off?
Yes, but that's all hindsight. At that point, I didn't know. I didn't really get confidence in the long side today until we broke above 5600 SPX. When I was stopped out on my long at 41 it wasn't clear to me that we wouldn't fill the gap from yesterday.
I'm conflicted. I love England, but I have relatives from the Netherlands, so it's a draw. You? Spain should win the finale anyway, though.
A draw, extra time, and 20 rounds of penalties... (so whoever wins they're tired for the final ) Just kidding, let the best team win. Best trading to all
I'm out of any put position. Not holding through a blast off tomorrow morning. Needed any red candle, but this won't fall out of the sky with such a dominant green candle today. This thing will be 506-507 at the open.
You need either a gap up tomorrow to fade or some kind of bearish candle. Yesterday was a false alarm and there's 0 chance this will fall out of the sky with CPI. If we do get a gap up tomorrow, one could gamble there with a short.
