Missed the nice ES Tday timed setup (Decent for holiday anyway) as I was looking at DXO. Tried bottom picking at 2.21 for planned 60 to 90 day hold. Set to 50% avg in at 1.97; Stop at 1.79

Hit 2.13 already :eek:

 

If ES-H9 breaks 867.00 it's headed towards 850...

 

Market action appears similar to yesterday
- down for most of day, then rally during last hour or 30 minutes.

If ES cannot hold 856/858 then today will be different, more likely a SDD day, with possible target of 846 or lower

I still think there is some tax loss selling but not as much as previous years.

 

Anyone seeing this:

SPX at 870.80
ES at 867.50

a fairly big negative premium

 

covered 863


short 870

 

its been under for about 4 days,ym just started today i think, 30 points under cash,might be dividends

 

I dunno about SDD, but if we were to close below yesterday's low, then technically speaking we're in deep shit. That would effectively place us below the rising trendline.

But then again, technicals don't work very well on a day like today that trades on lighter-than-air volume

 

long 60 stop under 55 target 70+
