Nice swing up to add to crude short. Dollar rallying. High on ES 1575. If you went short ES up there, Spec and Apex and others showing support levels. They will likely push it under 1450 - 1443. This is resistance becomes support, back to ICE. Wave 4 retrace yada, yada. ICE hold = new highs, ICE cracks and your short you have to be saying to yourself the logical thing to do is hold to 1410 and under. IF-THEN-ELSE. Why rip yourself off? White plays to WIN black plays to DRAW you will always be $ net positive.
