  1. I have this feeling that there will somehow be this big dump in the next few days and want to be on the right side of the trade.

    Thursday and Friday are notorious for big down days.

  3. He said he exited his short (wink, wink) this morning at the opening gap down. Of course he didn't reveal this prescient decision until 7 hours later (and after absorbing a 19 point drawdown into yesterday's close).

    Hello Gurus,

    I am a "noob" and I have been going through ET threads. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and views. I am trying find a relavant thread to post my inquiry.

    Could please share your experiences, advises, pros/cons and your opinions on holding ES futures positions for coupel days?

    I have a fulltime job and day trading is not practical for me. I am evaluating the risks in holding ES positions for coupel of days, entring and exiting at "favorable" market fluctuations

    Thank you all in advance
