    Looking for an entry short as well. I m at 1346.75, lets see if I can get filled. Edit: not even close to getting back there. I'm short here from 1341.25 (12:43EST) half position using a slightly bigger stop (1346) since my entry is not ideal.

    I was glad I was on the same side of the trade :) just got stopped out though. I will be looking at 1351.50 as a better entry. Hope I don't miss it.

    great trade apex. my system said short (but not till we broke 1310) but didn't want to get in front of AAPLs earnings (down almost 10% on outlook). Do you choose to ignore news completely or just company specific news?

    agreed I had storm on ignore for a while but everyone kept quoting him so i just took him off. I figured it was the easiest way to also post i had a small long over the weekend...although i didn't quite post it in real time.

    Note to self: Start looking for short setups first thing tomorrow. Long from 1412.5, SL 1407.5, PT 1419.5 (moving profit target down from 1422.5). I seemed to have top ticked it nicely in after hours.

    well guys i m going back to the sim. I think my system is still sound, but I don't want to give back the profits I've made the last few months if I'm wrong. I was getting ready to double the size of my system...I'm glad I didn't. -1025 net for the day (6 RT) Good luck all. Jag

    Choppy markets lost money trying to trade the trend down (got stopped out on all but 1 of my trend trades) but was able to scalp my way to positive profits. Starting to think perhaps I just shouldn't trade expiration week as I spent a decent amount of time today in the red (down 400 at one...

    Disappointing day as I was trading long of which I thought the trend was...obviously in hindsight it was not. Got stopped out on all my trades. My last stop out was at -987.5 with commissions hit my daily loss limit of -1000. Closed out my software and went out and enjoyed the day...

    Continued to trade the trend down, with all my trades being short. Stopped out a couple of times today but that's ok. Along with good r:r and a few scalps was able to have a profitable day. Still good day overall. +562.5 -100 (20RT) +462.5
