I remember that day of the 950 point drop. But I was watching ES. ES was limit up premarket and in one minute, shot up 30 points. That was the moment to short I took one single trade that day and it was a short with unfortunately a set profit target of 3 points. Profit target was reached in 2-3 seconds.
Weren't those insane days? Did you ever trade the 2-minute chart for ES around these days? It was literally like seeing a line draw in real time. Probably the most perfect trends I ever saw in my life, yet at the same time, a single 2-minute bar has so much risk attached because the scales became huge.
Member: I know my broker sure tried to stop me. He has had me in some good yeilding funds that have recovered most of my losses. I told him I wanted to sell everything, he said he thought there was quite a bit left in this run, I said I don't trust the market any more. He said, do what you want but don't blame me.
