    12 months of no commissions can be a game changer; easier to get back in or out.
    SPXS is still up moving from yesterdays close.............................................
    TAN is up YTD better than most , not in that one, as of now.[40 minutes 'till market close ]:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Excellent day today, took profits on several positions, letting most ride. Nice to Finally see inverse premkt gaps I bought today continue up.

    That's an especially bearish signal, I remember from February selloff..

    Challenge will be trading afternoon reversals correctly.

    Strange, but I had sellers remorse on some profitable long etfs last fri;
    but by Monday, I was feeling fine/better than wine.
    WEEk after 3rd week in oct tends to be weak/week...……………………………………. Have an order in for some more spxs;
    but dxd/sdow/sqqq/tecs doing better.MAYbe I should have not canceled my buy IBUY order yesterday, but I dont trade that one enough to buy it much in weak/week

    Sideways day, FAZ TZA up, SQQQ weak, holding steady on swings.. didn't trade much today since low volatility inside day.

    bought 6k inverses to feed the bear, tho risky since gaps could fill

    Profits ride on spxs;
    took some profits on dxd,TECS/nice downtrend.
    May hold spxs if market finishes weak/week; not a prediction.May buy some sdow/may not; finally got to trade dxd/thinking about that much of the year/LOL...…………………………………………………...…………………………………………………………….

  9. Well played Sir! Watch DGLY as it creeps up slowly since you enjoy a good challenge. I bought it back on its pullback along with SRRK. Lots of good stocks showing their hand of being accumulated like MAT. Good Call Ken!
