    Saliva, are you still in the trade? Wow what a runup. Missed all of it because of work, but still made a bit on the day. The million-dollar question: where do we go from here?

    Ditto, I don't see the previous gap down before today's.

    Speaking of ADU, that opening gap on the ES is still open right?

    Btw, can you remind us rapidly what that "smart money/dumb money 3-4 day rule in my head" is again?

    You're talking about the futures being down right now correct? As in "if tomorrow morning we gap down..." Bad play today. Overtrading and deer in headlights (that and my quotes aren't exactly real-time) caught me off. Risk management made the loss manageable... Today's lesson: *ALWAYS*...

    Nice trading day; I caught most of that drop from the 1060 region to the mid 1020s. Too bad I didn't take it further down. Love Pekelo's consecutive gap rule. Thanks for the alert! Is today considered an SDD?

    C-R-A-Z-Y! With such a rip, where do we go from here? B1S2, I assume you're only looking long now?

    So, if you does it mean that it didn't fall hard enough? I'm assuming you're still bearish? Bought part of the rally but didn't hold long enough (rather my stop was too tight...) Edit: BTW, how are your positions currently wave?

    So... 800 on the ES?

    Damn, what a crazy day to end this crazy week. Glad I parked my money into options, and if they're underwater (which they are), I'll be holding onto the position until this whole thing settles. Up or down I don't care, as long as the damn thing doesn't move 10 points in 15-30 seconds 5-6...

    Wow, killed! What a bad week. I'm not used to the "Gap and don't look back" super trend-day no consolidation scenario. Unfortunately I wasn't around in the 87 nor 98 timeline, so I don't have Lawrence Chan's wisdom. Parked my money in some short puts. If they hit, I'll baghold them till...

    I agree, I got reamed by the 12:00 surge, lost track of my analysis and saw Spectre's "Buy Buy Buy" post. Got emotional and sold at the very top.:mad: I then went long when it fell to 1158 for the first time and a minute later it jumped 10pts. Sold and backed off from this crazy, crazy...

    Your chart shows positive... Am I missing something or are you sarcastic? :confused:

    So B1S2, is 1201 (1204?) still the price point before you change your mind? People would like both analysis and trades. Or at least I do.

    Is this setting up for an ADU? It ran up and is just holding here, possibly creating a bull flag. I got hit pretty bad yesterday. I anticipated a signal on the 60-min and that signal never happened. Of course that was just minutes before the selloff from hell. :( Oh the joys of staring...

    Very well done, Interactive Brokers !

    The best my ass. I've been trading with IB for over a month. This morning (6.20am) I had an execution go from out of nowhere. My computer wasn't even on (I was set up to go to work). Nothing margin related, as I had only 2 ES contracts on 20K+. Now this evening I had a limit order set...

    There's rather strong support @ 1185-1187, but we better not break it... :eek:

    Cool thanks! I guess I can use it as confirmation. The ES has either lost its premium and/or is weighting down on the other indicators. On the 15Min chart it definitely wants to go down, but on the 60Min the MACD is about to go positive (about but not yet...), which is the opposite...
