Mup, I would never put this trade on before the Fed announcement... my sell stop would be a good 20 S&P points below the market when the Fed makes their announcement. As I write this reply the market is selling off on very heavy volume... short from 1514 on the March contract with a sell stop above todays high 1539. Lets see how it works out. Robert
The FED now admits to the "economy IS slowing" from previous language, yet they only cut the Discount Rate 1/4 of a point. These guys clearly have NO CLUE. And most troubling is the fact that most of the current Fed Governors have NEVER been thru a Recession before. Very few of these guys were around 5 years ago. They just don't get the SEVERITY of what is going on in the financial system. Unreal.
....worked out perfectly.... ...with the 3rd and 5th waves each having 3 parts ...posting chart later... ...edit.... now let's see about another 5 waves down on the daily chart..... possibly... or not
