    That's an interesting observation. With 3 of the old "big 5" belly-up and the 2 others hit by the train of the wreck, with countless hedgefunds imploding, I guess there's a void to fill and that might take time. Or this is only the intermission before the world-of-pain we're headed to if...

    Wow, crazy crazy day! I was actually long near the bottom and short near the top (both near the open and before the close), but ended up with minor scalps because the swings were too wild for my taste... ... and the fact that I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter yesterday...

    Wacky day! Didn't expect this to be an SDD, but was suspecting that from the opening behaviour. I'm definitely long biased (as opposed to bias) at these levels, as my mind admittingly can't wrap around the concept that this can still fall all the way to the 500'ish level that Saliva posted...

    Geh, the one time I'm awake at this hour, and the damn market isn't +24 ES pts or something :mad: :p Wish I was sleepy enough to go back to sleep...

    I know! :( I usually don't trade before 11am as my job keeps me busy, and even then I only take a few snipes on the YM because it's a tad safer imo. I usually start to take real positions after 2:15. But today, for some odd-ass reason I was long on the ES @ 904.75 around 8am. And for some...

    OOoooh, they're running it up in after-hours... I wonder if they can pump it to 912-913.... I'd like to wake up to a nice up-gap that will crumble before long. Edit: Doh, seems I missed that very shortable 910 about half an hour ago. That will teach me to take a shower and eat while...

    Question is, can we go higher with that gap? I can't see them *not* closing it before pursuing the rally.

    Don't we have oil inventories every Wednesday? Also, the three stooges (George, Hank, Ben) will eventually pop up in front of the cameras sometime. They love the attention. How plausible is the scenario of going up till Thanksgiving, going choppy till the new year (sales are good!/Sales are...

    WOW! What a horrible day! Bad breakout of overtradaritis. Lost most of my money on that -extenuatingly long- triangle/HS period (I was betting down) and kept having bad entries with bad stops. Caught the drop from 928ish to 917, for a total of 11 points. Why was I out? because my stop...

    Hiya TraderPP, That IHS is still holding, or did we break it? And if we didn't break it, what's the "line in the sand" to break it?

    Which gap? Speaking of gaps, didn't we gap down twice in a row but not close them? (albeit the windows are tiny). And don't we have like 4-5 gaps above us? Edit: OOhh, breakdown of that tiny uptrend... Moving stop to 915. Also, so many people speaking of that IHS on the SPY daily that...

    Wow, we're back @ 920 and it's barely midnight. I want to short these levels but I don't like to hold overnight without actively monitoring my position. Last time I did such a thing the damn future went limit-up while I was short. That being said, I don't see how we can go higher with such...

    Wow what a drop!! God bless tight stops because I was on the wrong side (went long on the rise but didn't notice the double top). So what does that drop say? Hedges massively selling? (I thought that was basically over...). LC I'm all ears :confused: B1S2, what's your bias now? Are...

    Indeed, great tips/vids from a great helper. Classifying TPP as a spammer is the equivalent of declaring the past month as a bull market... I also want to know where we go from there.
