    Target is a push above 80.

    Oh well. I reversed long. Let's see if it's a trap or not.

    Stopped out for a good chunk, but I'm re-shorting here. We're not ready, yet.

    Locked in 40. A man's gotta eat. Closing in on a possible bounce zone here, but I think it's too easy. I like 5200 for a target. And will get excited if that doesn't contain this.

    Bull trap. Wait for 5220 or more.

    There's just no way we don't touch yesterday's close by now. Prove me wrong. :) And if that doesn't hold - I don't see why we can't see a dip below 5150.

    Re-shorted 66. I think I'll prefer to stop posting trades as it's a bit distracting and probably influence how I manage them (both good and bad). Headed out for some sun. Let's see if this one 'lucks out'.

    Flat at 70 for an 11 point loss on 10 micros. Trade went 50 points in my favor. Main mistake was adding in a poor location + not securing at least some. Or maybe just not having brass balls enough to just hold it with a large stop. Nothing changes in my thesis. Looks like that was just a stop run.

    NQ VWAP sell. Getting ready to kill this if the tide doesn't turn soon. I figure this was just a gross overshoot and pullback, but WTF do I know. It's pushing higher for now. :)

    If we do go lower - the swing high should be close here. I may regret this, but moving stop to 70. Let's pray we have a lot of late breakout longs trapped here.

    VWAP sold there at 63. Not loving this push, but that's how it is during heightened volatility. Getting ready to scratch this if this swing high doesn't hold. For adding - this is where my next 5 should have been. Not at 35. LOL.

    Well, that last add was shit. Only reason it may work out now is because my original entry was so much higher. It worked terribly on Friday. But yes, it have worked very well on a few occasions. I find it works best when you have a very early entry and then add on subsequent signals in the...

    My statistical model gives me information or clues based on historical analogues. The input is subject to my discretion, so that part still requires a bit of artistry. As such, it's not completely mechanical (my wish, but not sure it's possible). And like I said yesterday, I'm cautious against...

    Added 5 more here - bringing down my average and my stop to lock in a profit. I fear I may be getting too close to the market here. Should probably have waited for a rip to sell into, but have to get some breakfast now. Will be around and see if I re-enter should I get stopped out.

    If only it was 5 big boys! This is just beer money at this point. LOL. :) May add 5 more micros, but waiting a bit.

    Booyah! :) Now, I only regret not being bigger, but I took a small beating on Friday trading my normal size, so I sized down deliberately. I figure there's a good chance we take out yesterday's low, too, but will see if that can be a good spot for a rally. Now, let's smack this down first...

    Lock in 72. Limit buy at 5205. Time for morning coffee. :) If I were actively trading I'd probably have taken the scalp exit down here.

    Lcok in 1 point and going back to bed. Maybe I should have taken the scalp profit here.

    Maybe I'm being stubborn, but I want my 80 point down move. Reducing risk to two points at 83.75. If the 60 level breaks - it may be happening.

    I didn't say anything about not buying it, buddy. The point I was getting at was that if it was a bargain at 5 % down, surely you must have thought it to be a bargain at 3 % down and maybe 4 % down, too? That's effectively the difference between having a wildly profitable trade and blowing up...
