    Well, a gap down followed by a gap up that doesn't get filled is an island reversal, also usually signaling a bottom. Hopefully this morning's upgap does't get filled.

  4. :D

    ...and don't expect the volatility to abate anytime soon. There will be more large days coming.

    To call the best day in DOW history on a couple days before it happens is just pure amazing.

    Major props to you. Congrats on such a good call.

  8. Some people will say it was a lucky guess.

    Some people will say it was a statistical fluke.

    I say, given that you cited excellent reasoning for the basis of your call, that it was an amazing call.

    Not only did it happen, but I believe it happened for the reasons you stated it would.

  9. guys, thank you for your kind words!

    i put myself in the blind squirrel category. :D

    but i did act upon my prediction. last week i have accumulated long positions that were underwater, but i did not sell them on friday expecting the rally to continue. i had ~1X account long going into the weekend (usually i am 100% out MOC). monday was easy trading because i entered a ton of OPG shorts against my long position, then covered shorts (financials were great shorts) and kept selling and hedging my longs as the market kept moving higher.

    i only was moderately net long when the second leg of the rally started but it was a very good day for me overall.
