    i got out es at 1322, from 1327 - trying to stick with 'the meat of the move', rather than trying to be perfect - i want to be fully objective with what i see next - easiest to do when i'm flat

    now, i watch

    how does it react to the 20 ma?, is now my question

  4. Out at 22 as well. Looking to re-short on any significant bounce

  5. sht since 1337.25 (stp was 41.25) same with most european indices also....though have to say only just still in european by 3-5 ticks yesterday!!!

    Housing Monday will cement the move and change of sentiment....next stop S&P Z 1311

    good trading!

    i actually took a 1 contract boredom long (at 22.5), as it's at the bottom of the 5 minute chart trend channel, i just didnt think it had the steam to make a real test of the 20 ma at that point of the channel

    it still would have been better form to be flat

    OT: $OSX (oil services) is on the 20 month ma today, they almost never break it in the first try - i dont play the intermarket game, but an oil bottom could be consistent with an S & P top

    nonetheless, i will observe, not predict

    out the boredom long for 23.25 - approaching the 34 ema on the 5 minute chart

    back to watching the 20 day ma

    they're not without hazzard, as the mind can get wrapped up in even small trades, when the focus should be on a bigger picture

  10. Yep. Done that. Been dinking around with a small trade only to get distracted and miss a regular system trade.

    PS trying to get a short off at 24.50 (lunch money), but no luck
