Was not available for trading today other than multitasking. Attempted to watch UMichigan data for clues but was impossible to monitor the situation adequately for me to take a position. Oh well, there will be more days. Just sitting on one's ass long has surely been an attractive proposition for the past two weeks however. I've been too quick to surrender decent entries to that purpose. I don't know, this simply feels like a repeat of the Spring. I absolutely need to further develop BTFD algo so that I can start it with confidence on volatile days (as I've been decent on timing entries, again). Ultimately I am of course convinced (apparently as too many other people) that market is about to fall over. But before that might we have NQ at 9000?
Sell NAS100USD x -28 @ 8009 stop 8024 After further consideration, intraday pos. Move just looking a bit stretched here short term.
Buy NATGASUSD x 3200 @ 2.38 stop 2.13 Seasonality play, been waiting since Winter for another stab at bulling this. Might double pos later if it starts moving in my direction.
Sell NAS100USD x -31 @ 8038 stop 8058 Horrendous spread this time of day but anyway... Think NQ needs to cool down a bit.
Nope NQ stopped -610. To be fair, I had the option of exiting at neutral this morning and apparently should have taken it since there was no indication of market budging and staying short in a bull run is a losing bet. My fault for being lazy and not logging into computer to check overnight action.
