    Pour me one :p



    Tomorrow we close higher than 800 on the dow and 1270 on the s&p. You never answered my question on holding fut positions into earnings on overnights, do you hedge or just guess at what will happen ?

    Well I went long too at 10832. Lets see what happens, looking to sell in the 10880's.

    I bought because we're at the support zone on the chart I posted weeks ago.

    Ah well lost 25 x 2 = 50 points on this premature entry.

    Fortunately I then bought 3 @ 843 and 4 @ 844 with 20 point stops after it started basing around S1.

    Sold 3 at 897, 899, 902 respectively for +169.

    Stop to b/e 844 on the remaining 4. Will close two of these at 925ish if we get there.

    Good work satchel (futs bottomed just 9 below your prediction of -100), mhashe, duckling and volente (nice entries / comments). :)

    Onwards and upwards, perhaps...

    Inicidentally I'm posting some trades cause I have a few discipline issues at the moment and hope that public exposure will help me stick to my plan.

    Channels aplenty and positive breadth divergence on the NYSE. The COMP has a long climb ahead to fill its gap. :)

    I think we can call it filled. Technically there was a 15+ points or so difference but I look at it sligthly differently. The low of yesterday's 15:40 and the high of today's 10:20 were only like 8 points appart, so I would look at this as a filled gap...

    The same with ES although the NQ is definiatelly not filled....
