what we thinking, more dropping today? It's looking super weak. I'm still holding the same short but wondering what others are expecting
rally rally rally rally today was to clear out the weak longs.. look for ar ally into christmas to get everyone pumped about investing next year! NEVER short into a holiday especially christmas!
 
That’s the next shoe to drop (or in golds case pop)...you’re playing with fire right now. With current mkt structure we could easily wake up one day limit down.

I hope you are either heavily hedged or trading around your long position.
YOU are absolutely CORRECT!!! 10% down day will happen within thenext 6 months.
 
Why would the market go limit down? When did that happen the last time? Did it happen during the financial crisis?

According to my data, we had 3 days with a close less than 7% with maximum down roughly the same since 2005. The biggest at around 9 %. All 3 during the financial crisis.

This is calculated using NYSE closing hours (cash close). Maybe limit down uses other close/open times.

Was the market closed these days...?

Market was limit down on election night 2016, June 2016 around Brexit and Aug 2015 on a Sunday night/Monday morning.

My favorite one was MLK 2008 when SocGen blew up

ES has been limit down during AH. Never has been during RTH that I am aware of unless maybe on 9/11/01 but I wasn't trading futures then so don't recall.

Also every limit down on ES has paid very well for buying when it was at least since 2006.
