  1. Watch out .. today seems like one of those that may have a sting in the tail. I wouldn't be long right now.

    summer is here - we will have this nonsense for the next 2 months. pure crap, confusion, low liquidity and a lot of bs on newswires...

  3. markets rallied hard, my PnL just went parabolic. long from 1248 on the ES....

    I never trade the last hour, but in this case I will make an exception!!

    How did you come to that conclusion. I mean all the indexes were under water when you posted. Just curious if there was any reasoning behind your guess.

  6. today I was minding my mean-reversion business. suddenly, a bunch of longs got opened and I had to stop buying because I was over my head already. I said I am going to sit this out and I did. I had to go through rounds of torture watching my PnL oscillate up and down, up and down, etc.

    Later in the day PnL just went up a lot (still very negative) so I thought something was happening and posted this post. I did not think we would go up as much as we did.

    Ended the day in the red (FNM took care of that), but quite happy with the recovery.
