Good to see you B--where would you have entered long? Doesn't seem that the pullbacks are far enough for your typical entries. Maybe a long at 68, or 66.75 or 67 around 11:30 est, yes?
Exactly. The TICK had closed above 600, so that signals the long bias for me. I don't think I would have taken the trade honestly, since as you mentioned it didn't really match the usual trade. At this point we are flirting with the MP volume "boob" between 70.25's and 76's. It leads me to believe that any holding above 70's and we are going to push up to 76's.
You could be right, maybe we'll get another flush downward and then I'll get a proper entry. For now I'll work on my patience skills.
