  1. probably shoulda held it!!
    nasty drop!
    Caught me by surprise, tbh. Ignored all of my potential buy areas (as it tends to do on 'trend days')
    Luckily I stopped early for the day after the 'fat finger', otherwise i'm sure i'd have had a few stop outs!

    hope nobody got hurt! And i'm sure some killed it! I can guess who!!

    catch ya tomorrow. Then it's back to work the day after for me! (nice to have been able to be at the screens for the whole session last few days)

    I legit got slipped 6.5 points on a sell stop entry on NQ today.

    Still a profitable trade but I think I'm done with this b*tch for now. I'm going to look for something less manic.

  5. I've been short for a while now-- taking some off with every meaningful drop and adding some on with every meaningful pop. I like to keep at least 3 contracts in play on these longer swing trades (currently have 4 in play from an average price of 6043.50).

    My ultimate target is at 5625 which is just above the 200 day.

  8. Nice 3:45 pump and futures already up like always. Easily can just V today’s move tomorrow. But I get your point. We are very choppy here. Not impressed by today.
