Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

That's another part of trading "modern markets." You have to know when its a short term trap - or fuck everyone over party. Your direction may be right but you're not going to get positioned without significant heat and if you instead try to circumvent it by anticipating the stop runs you can sometimes miss out on the move if said running doesn't happen. It's a real mindfuck at times.

 

i try to avoid day trading, but i did look at the intraday chart earlier and thought it was a good range trading day.

 

biotechs still at lows

 

i hate that

 

Never a down day in the land of perfect, where everyday is rainbows sunshine and lollipops

 

What did you think was going to happen. A bearish candle on a downward sloping moving average. JUST LIKE LAST OCTOBER, JAM IT UP AND CANCEL IT OUT.

 

short clx15, 4750, 250 tick stop

 

Purely on my reading of the tea leaves (i.e. charts), i reckon 2020 tomorrow on esz15...would have expected it to crash and burn today if it was going to.

 

China ought to sell off from here.

 

why? a cursory glance at csi300 chart shows a upside breakout from the september range.
