  1. Overnight

    Overnight

    I haven't been doing it enough, but tonight I went long in June YM. Tired of kicking myself in the ass for not doing it more often over the past couple of weeks, been too busy with risk-management thoughts clouding my judgment and the thought of impending short doom.

    P.S. Rick, that post you had here with the tweet about open and close is an eye-opener.

    Yes, those patterns have been prevalent for the past 9 or so months I've been watching the equity indices, but to see it has been going on since 1993 is amazing.

  3. Dax looks on the verge of a large upside breakout, so that should help drag the SPX up. Expecting a nice day for bulls today

    It's not free money btw....you are being paid to take overnight risk. By definition, we will be whacked at some point but hopefully the net result over the cycle will be strongly positive.
