  1. for me it's a constant balancing act of trying to recognise the strength correlations, trying to work out the liklihood of it carrying on, and whether to take 'signals' that I look for even if it's contrary to what appears to be going on (e.g 'do I take this long on the ym? I would usually, but it's the weak one recently')
    Some days I get it right!

  2. Not looking too pretty now. I fear the rally may be over now, but who knows...

  3. If Trump's buy algorithms and goons don't bid this here it could be a good short, but I'm not touching it as the market's in insane mode currently and I fear any dumps may be short lived.

    I've mentioned a few times that I do have a job, and I don't need the money from trading to pay the pbills.

    I want this. Not a need.

    Same here, imho, we've probably seen the HOD, but... you just don't mess with the V, and we're so close to ATH that they may act like a magnet.

    That said, oil down, chips down...

    I'll be looking to buy if we dip to the LOD, if it gets bouncy.

    Other than that, Friday's pm I lock myself out of new swing positions, so I may call it a day early and pay some (more) attention to my saint-like wife :D

    No need to apologize to me, @Picaso

    If friends can't ask friends questions then they aren't really friends :fistbump:

  9. Yes. Would normally think the HOD is in, too, but the market's in insane mode, so you never know.

    So far, the short is playing out like anticipated. Just a slow drip lower where each new low is instantly bid. Unless you're a sniper who shorted near the very HOD, it's a tough short.

    I'm flat and waiting for a mean reversion long with the small chance it turns into something more.
