Taking a break rest of today, market isn't ideally trendy for the way I trade today, though I wouldn't be surprised if we end notably lower (bulls are crowded atm). Nice to end with account marginally higher than this midnight.

Sell NAS100USD x -18 @ 9619 stop 9634 Quite common w/ a reversal after half an hour so a bad time to be out.

On a side note, this is why I should get into options. Would be much happier w/ buying puts on a day like this. Edit. Stopped

Sell NAS100USD x -18 @ 9600 stop 9614 Small risk enough to go AFK Edit: Moved stop 9616.2

Will be interesting to see gap. Wish futures had been open for trading though. -.-

Agreed. You have to know ahead of time something is going to trend. Of course, if something trended for a long time thus far, there's a decent shot of that trend continuing for a while (given other contextual information).
