trading the open before news. 4 minutes and dun.

SIM trade hit trailing stop. the big one that got away!

and OF COURSE the SIM trade i take after shutting down passes my way-out there target #1 @ 8761.25 and may even make it to #2 @ 8962.

after getting chopped around earlier today and basically treading water on +/- of breakeven, i finally got the afternoon down move which as of this posting did reach the prior session high @ 8575 but after white-knuckling it for most the day i though 8600 was a good number and bailed for 73...

screen shot of scalps on fast friday. 5 winners with the first one being just a few ticks on the plus side, so basically a scratch.

i always use limit and stop-limit orders for entry. occasionally my stop-limits will get jumped and not fill but most of the time they do. of course stop-loss is always market order.

next bump in road support wise is 8678.25 the low on 1/8/20

VIX officially tilted positive about 5-10 minutes ago.

went short @ 8938.25. the EMA(20) was a good one on the 5m for finding support today. if selling continues, SMA(200) on daily is around 8300

went short 1 contract @ 8971.75 and out @ 8947 for a small gain ~ 50 bucks

denied. no follow through and $140 loss.

2 contracts and will take one off (T1 9067.25) on way up and trail the other if things continue.

looking to go long if IB is broke @ 9015.75 today's dynamic targets are still 9405 area on daily chart.

got back in on a hook pattern @ 8914.50. would be nice if it can clear the central pivot and get up over some longer averages before i go to bed so i can get a wide trail going while i sleep. btw, the dynamic targets are now down to the 9405 area on daily chart.
