  1. VIX9D is the symbol for SP500 index implied volatility for 9 days instead of VIX's 30 days.

  2. Longed 30.25. Stop 27.75 (monetary stop). Targeting 43.50.

    Probably calling it a day if I'm stopped. NQ's giving back a bit too much here, so not so sure about this one, but have to stay optimistic. LOL.

    Thanks.

  3. NQ just touched -5 ATR on my 1 minute. Will be now looking to sell at +3 ATR.

    Edit: With at stop at about +5 ATR. Time of day favors your view, but I am what I am.

  7. NQ often seems to appear to be breaking down. You look at something else for a minute and when you look at NQ again that large down candle is now a big wick followed by a nice green bar. :)

  8. Test of the highs probably coming, no? Remains to be seen if there's enough strength to make new highs.

    I have mixed feelings towards that as I got shaken out of a nicely sized long and now I'm smaller sized. :)

  9. Yes, lunchtime. Yes, NQ. NQ is leading today, with thematic components AAPL and TSLA lagging. VIX is now dropping nicely. PM rally underway, it seems.

  10. Used the lock-out function and called it a day here. May be leaving profits on the table, but I'm tired and it's always nice with a green day after a red day.

    Won't be surprised to see 6150 by the close, but won't be surprised if we don't either. LOL. :)
