Inverted head and shoulders on the SPX?

  1. No additional fills at 720.50 yet since the last one......was off posting in the "Politics & Religion" section.....LOL! :eek: :D

    I would like to sell higher next run up......like 721.50 and higher next time a round. :)

    How do you manage your stops when you are trading and managing your positions overnight? Do you have hard stops or trade your way out of the position if there is a spike?

    Thanks.

  3. OK....nice little move there. I just entered positions at 722.00 with a first target set at 719.00 and next target at 717.00.......all other previous targets remain. :)

  4. I would have hard stops if I was holding LONG positions overnight......for these SHORT positions I just play it the same way I do during the cash session (I will watch my positions realtime and manage them per my system of positions management).

  7. Targets at 719.00 filled. Next target at 717.00....715.50.....712.00 now :) I will have remaining 720.50 entries covered with fills at 717.00/715.50. Lower targets will be for entries from 722.00 (if filled at 712.00 I will then have last 50% of 722.00 entries still held for any additional downside move).

  9. Awesome bounce! Backed by market internals as well, I imagine they'll be some follow through. I'm closely watching 740 on the ES. If market internals turn bearish near there, I'll be looking for shorts.

  10. OK....had targets last night filled at 715.00 and then took fills for 712.00 targets at 713.00 after a touch at 712.00 and no fill. Remaining positions at 722.00 I took out at 721.00 on the very strong rally back to highs.

    Finally got some sleep and now I have started to resell the newer highs at 726.50 with this second rotaion up and lower high.......first target will be set at 722.50 and then next target at 719.50.......will set lower targets later after cash session opens. It looks as the strong rally high that ran us up to 730 area was caused as the delta zone of 721's to 724's had most unwind the resting sell inventory which caused the price spike.......zone for selling at present is 726.00 to the new high as we get ready to move to the market open. :)
