Added one more contract SHORT at 868.5 w/ a 1 point STOP. We are going to see if traders can take this to the UT (ultimate target) this time. Edit: so much for <i>that</i> idea as it gets stopped.

We are into this on thus far with a 5 point gain. RESET Stop to at least make 1 point or at 873. :p

Closed it for no loss or gain, since didn't like it bouncing 1 point making a higher low. Entering a STOP order at 874 to STO 1ES.

Giving it a try the first day of this holiday week. Entered STO 1ES @ 875.50 3 point STOP Target: 859

The volatility as measured by the Vix is coming down - yet may have another disconcerting spike. . .so be prepared.p$

Late action dulled. Position STOPPED for a $75 loss - but we live to "trade another day". Expect muted action throughout the rest of the year. pay$

I wouldn't read a whole LOT into today's (thus far) mixed action - after all. . . BULLETIN >> ILLINOIS GOV. BLAGOJEVICH SAYS HE'S INNOCENT AND WILL STAY IN OFFICE :D . . .but anyways, a little levity never hurts! I added an order to BTO at 884 with a 1.5 point STOP as things may move...

Indeed it did bounce right off the 880.75 level. Will the rest of today's action shake out even more sellers? I put in an STOP order to sell at 878.50 or about 2.25 points <i>below</i> the BD (break down) level. Target: 864 We shall see. Meanwhile, been looking all day to get the...

OK There is the movement - instantly drops 3 points to fill the SHORT. Will this trigger more selling? I placed my LIMIT 2 points away and was hit. The reason is because that is the Break Down level and I figure it'll bounce some. Gain: $100

ES @ 886 Using WIDER stops STO 1ES @ 883 STOP BTO 1 ES @ 889 STOP p$

Yup. Gave back $100 with 2 point STOP. :mad:

We could quit while ahead, but then I see the ES "print" suddenly 3 points lower at 887 and waver there. So I entered two STOP orders: BTO 1ES @ STOP 889 STO 1ES @ STOP 885 p$ One hour of trade left and no one know what the market will do (bathroom time :p). hmm, orders still...

STOPPED for a $100 gain to now be profitable for the day.p$ :cool:

Entered LONG 889 STOP 886 . . .and now the moment of <i>truth!</i> - still no TRUTH.p$ Edit: ES "prints" 2.5 points higher. Adjusted STOP to at least make a $12 gain. We shall see what the powers that be decide to, well - be. Edit: this <i>thing</i> jumps another 2 points. My...

Wild'n'Crazy markets call for wild'n'crazy actions: I'll let the powers that be sort this one out. ES at 887 BTO @ STOP 889 STO @ LIMIT 885

Is this intra-day, low-volume rally for real? Only way to find out is place a BTO on a pullback w/ a 1 point STOP. Entered 892 - which promptly jumped 1 point so moved STOP to 892.25 so I at least close with a gain. . .we shall see. :p So much for that, a temporary $75 gain is closed...

Well, that went well. I got the notion - when things bounced a bit from the daily lows (after that steep descent back to them) to go LONG 1ES (mind you these day-trades are <i>extra</i> ones to my main positions) with a STOP to STO 2NQ about 5 points below the low. Anyway, it popped a bit...

Pulled STOP down to 896 (currently at 895, now 895.50), since I do NOT want to exacerbate the relatively small loss. If we tank great. If not - oh well. Well as they say that was that. Keep losses small and occasionally get action like late yesterday. What does it all add up too? I get...

Closed the LONG NQ with this recent drop. Thus far <i>shaved</i> $50 off the loss. Should I close SHORT ES contract and be content to lick my wound? :confused:
