This is exactly why you want a healthy bull market to have intermediate corrections, some ebb and flow and not simply go vertical for 15 months straight. Everyone gets out of position at some point and it all collapses upon itself.
Not going to argue with you there, feels nice being able to earn some dough on these steep rises and declines though.
In reality these are the kind of corrections that markets are supposed to normally have - but just not in this small window of time. The market structure of QE-sponsored CB fuckery has created these risks. This is why you DON'T do that shit and let markets work things out on their own or else shadow risk just continues to grow and grow and grow.
Yep, saw it. My pos was 0.7 -> 3, but sure selling at 10 would have been much nicer. Problem is when I closed out the move was already pretty extreme and didn't expect to see that last shift in convexity with the strength it had. Psychologically the last 3 years have been about fearing the panic buy, not the panic sell.
Feels like a large chance that 2600 was the bottom for the night atleast. Expecting some retrace to 2640 overnight.
