  1. i did notice that! It's why it feels extra suicidal!
    usually i'd be tempted to look for long ym adn short nq, but i kinda like the ym level and hoping it's one of them days where the 'correlation' doesn't carry on!

    I chose a bad day to buy/sell breakouts :D

  5. Balanced session so far. Maybe the market's waiting for a Trump tweet.

    I hit my daily loss limit and I'm locked out of my account. No more gambling until tomorrow, although I'm considering just waiting until next week.

    If I had to take a trade right now, I'd probably short this. Short-term I feel all risk is to the downside.

    I was on my guard for whipsaws at the beginning of the session, but I was really expecting some sort of breakout one way or another. Kind of weird to have this narrow range-bound market on his first day :confused:

  7. Guess the market's still digesting or figuring out what the hell Trump in power means.

    I'm sure we'll get a good directional day some day soon. Not sure if it's up or down, yet. LOL.

    2017?

    That's like 190000 USD per ES contract just buying and holding... when the margin must have been somewhere around 4-5000 USD :D

    Sometimes I feel like an idiot for not being a multi-millionaire by now :banghead:

  10. Haha. Whenever I do a long-term back-study on SPX I feel like a chump.
