Thanks, but I just pulled an incredibly boneheaded stunt. I guess you'd have to call it a "mouse fart" or something. I intended to place a sell order at 1546 but somehow it went in at 1545, yipes. Just unwound it for a 2-tick hit. Glad I did, too. Looks like maybe it does want to go up for...

Scary! :) I got out a little early, huh?:( Maybe I'll get a nice re-entry opportunity here. Let's see. We wouldn't want the broker to starve, would we? :p

Closed this out at 1548.75 for +2.25. No real followthrough. I'll keep my powder dry for a better opportunity.

Let's see if this works: S 1551.00 BS 1552.50 (1.5 points) PT1 1546 (5 points) PT2 lots lower

Oops! :eek: Whatever it is, it's a stubborn little bugger! :mad:

This 1546-1548 resistance zone has proven to be surprisingly robust. I had it pegged as weak resistance and thought we'd have blasted through it by now, but it's looking not so weak anymore. I'm wondering whether perhaps we may head back up to 1554 and then make another run down? If that...

1546 resistance has been tested three times this morning. A break below that level will probably be a fun ride. (Not that the ride today hasn't been fun already.) I can't trade tomorrow (I'll be flying an airplane all day), so I'd love to see two days' worth of action today. :) Oh, what...

Closed out my short at 1548.25 for +8.25. Now flat, and taking a break here.

Lowered buy stop to 1553.50. May try to exit short around 1548 unless price action improves. EDIT: It did.:)

Pausing to refresh at 1548 support level. If we break lower, look out below! :) EDIT: Barney sounds pissed. Not sure what about. :) EDIT: I just love hearing Barney talk about "economic gwidwock." :D EDIT: Looks like another possible bear flag forming, creating another shorting...

Benny just finished his prepared remarks, and is now answering questions by Barney Frank.

PT1 hit and filled at 1547.75. Still holding one unit short.

Okay, let's try this once more. Adding on short at 1552.75 BS 1554 (1.25 points) PT1 1547.75 (5 points) PT2 much lower

Watch for possible bear flag here for another short entry. I hope to add on here to my short if the flag plays out. EDIT: Flag looks promising so far. It's 8 minutes long, I'd like to see at least 15 minutes of continued low volume before breakout to the downside. EDIT: I meant 15...

Gap filled. Nice tail! S 1556.75 BS 1557.25 (2 ticks) PT1 1548.25 (8.5 points) PT2 much lower Hopefully Ben will say something terrible. :) EDIT: Wheee!!! Doing pretty well without Ben's help.

Yes, anyone who was awake at 7:30 ET (I was not) had a nice opportunity to go short right at the 1554-1555 zone. Nice sharp reversal right where it was supposed to happen. I'm showing support at 1548 and resistance at 1554.50, both plus or minus .50 or so. We might just wind up range-bound in...

At 06:24 EDT, out of trade via trailing stop at 1551.25 for +3. Now flat.

At 04:45 EDT L 1548.25 SS 1547.25 (1 point) PT 1553.25 (5 points) At 5:13 EDT last print 1550.75 (+2.5) Beautiful reversal right at support at 1547.75, caught it right to the tick. Whether it goes anywhere remains to be seen.

Ah well, I'm stopped out of my Globex short at 1551.50 for net breakeven. (Profit on initial, loss on add-on, net wash.) ES has been grinding higher for over an hour, and the 3 am surge was the last straw. Now flat, price is in no-man's land, so probably won't re-enter until I get some sense...

You placing any bets on direction of said fireworks? Did you say you were long (or going long)?
