    I never thought I would be doing any more than 24 point range but I get sick of missing the big moves, but hey not bad
    1 tick from my target and NQ went thru it, it was the DOW that
    got me today 33 ticks EHHH not good

  2. Yup, levels cooperated today, where even a caveman can do it, lol.

    I take it a close this low will re-establish the downtrend?

    Nice to have a day where end-of-day manipulation isn't jerking things all over the place.

    Dunno, but thanks JB.

    What about that anemic volume, Joe?

    To be serious, I will look at it to relation to the up move and see if it is a big deal

  6. The most popular Ultra ETFs are with major index funds. Some examples

    NASDAQ 100 Long, ticker QLD, which is 2x the long
    NASDAQ 100 Short, ticker QID, which is 2x the short
    Dow 30 Long, ticker DDM, 2x long
    Dow 30 Short, ticker DXD, 2x short
    S&P 500 Long, ticker SSO, 2x long
    S&P 500 Short, ticker SDS, 2x short

    If you like tha action of futures, Ultra ETF'S will fit the bill

    or you can just trade the tracking ones that Surdo posted

  9. JB:

    I am looking at futures options for hedging "swing" futures trades.

    What would be typically recommended: American- or European-Style.

    Or perhaps index options are preferred?

    I like your calm happy voice unlike the others (manic, depressed, gloating, boring) so thanks again.
    I had a great day already and got bored around 888 so took my profits and am ready for bed.
