  1. LFG, bulls! :)

    (took a 3 point loss on the prior trade, but got back in at 32).

    Will add if this gets moving.

  2. We filled the election gap on SPX today by the way.

    I think we rally back in range today, but not super confident.

    Tomorrow's PPI. That should shake up things a bit.

    I feel maybe I'm just not built to be able to hold against the current minute to minute to and fro on the NQ? My profit orders were always 10 to 20 points or so, stops were 10 to 12 points. Now a one minute bar pullback can go 30 to 50 points or more. I'm not afraid to confess that it messes with me big time.

  4. Does anyone know why some weeks PPI comes before CPI?

    Usually, CPI comes first, but not always.

  5. Classical churning action stopping out day traders left and right before the real move.

  6. Question is if this is a deep pullback to the range low or if we actually sell. I think this holds today, but not certain at all...

    Downside momentum seems fairly strong on the daily by now.

    price is holding because the big boys are selling slowly and dump their shits to retail and funds.

    If I may, my advice would be to adjust stops and targets to current volatility. Imho, it doesn't make sense to always trade the same regardless of whether we get 20-point or 100-point days.

    But to each his own, whatever works for you.

    Rest of day trading gamblers polluting the thread with 2 ticks trades. Fuck off, you guys are a pain in the ass.
