    I'm so sad at my short performance today. The target being missed by 1 point made me bail on the early morning upswing. Missed 250 bux on it. If only I had waited through the next 5-6 hours. Went a bit more short jumping in and out by the close, and then did not think the Netflix would do what it did. If only I had stayed in my short. I really wanted 400 bux today. Now I see the night action, and cry inside. Alas.

    The sucky thing is, I tried to apply my lessons learned about swinging long at ATH and tried to apply them short, but I am so biased against shorts that I miss all this action now.

    And by the way, it is not just Netflix causing this. We still have a gnarly trade war that could be escalating, yes?

    Looks like NQ just tagged the minor lower trend line from late June.

    This is contrary on NQ, as trend/ indicators show everything down, but the last 40 points down in very light volume. A slight squeeze "could" send this up 50 points.

    But will keep stop tight, as one bit of bad news in Asia could bring a nasty low.
