[Overnight]

well i am going to wait to hear now what exactly was the news for todays upmove, for me it was quite evident from PA even before the open.

Pricing in the ECB easing tomorrow morning? Trade war woes backing off?

Stop being so ridiculous dude ... the discussion was about sudden moves being caused by news.

By the way, there was positive news today ...

today was a beautiful day, gauged the range and it was all placed on auto trade before the open, ( orders lined up perfectly at the dip that happened at open or before open, only regret exited all through phone app around 10:00 am. all were winners, though i should have stuck to my profit target which was 3k. but being on the phone app had to exit all @ 10:00 am due to stop placement issues. but i am happy i was able to gauge the range. (Due to an emergency had to leave in haste so i placed the orders before 9:00 am, on the phone app i really didn't know whats happening, so when i saw the big dollar amount around 10:00 i just exited, i have auto stop loss set up and also profit target, so little mess up there when i manually moved the profit target after placing the orders, all my buy orders were limit ladders so profit targets were little up and down due to manually moving the PT it is not corresponding to exact buy orders, but most imp. stop loss was fixed for all at 73.00-74.00 i don't remember excatly, but it was done prudently as per my calculation, it was high probability trade)

looks like some profit targets were hit, not all were exit from the app, may be only 1 exit, i just couldn't make head or tail of whats happening on the phone app, only saw the green $ amount so i exited, i think my targets were 84.00, 87.00 and last maybe 90.00 not 3k ( 3k when i look at it now, i don't think i would be making that target, if i was on my trading computer maybe, maybe not) so just needed to correct. Also stop loss would have been 73.50 when i calculate it,.

Trump strikes again, I have never seen a sitting president game the markets like this one.

 

[Overnight]

And I feared going long today because I thought he would tweet something bad about the trade war. And now, he tweets something good. Oh well, I missed out again, on another 200 points of movement in the NQ.

Total disregard for the CEOs trying to make forward decisions... as a businessman himself you would think he knows uncertainty is a growth killer... sentiment might move markets to his intended point but markets will eventually gravitate to reflect earnings. Trump really needs to set policy based on how it affects earnings and have a road map for industry to follow. He might think himself a top negotiator but the uncertainty he creates will greatly affect his re-election chance not to mention setting markets up for a serious correction guaranteeing an election loss.

China allowed their currency to devalue, Trump kept silent on this... it's a tell-tale that he's holding back to see how the trade negotiations pan-out.

no watching get on the ride, we are going to the moon soon.
a new RTH low was made, though went below 72.00 but did not close below, another attempt to push for another low happened, which was all as calculated, on longer term charts, for me very high probability of price going to 3050.00 area soon, may not happen today but within this week i would like to think so. higher probability as of now, unless something changes.
Need to check @85.00 how low will price attempt to go down. more precise answer around 85.00 i think in MHO.

Monday post, but i later changed my target to 3020.00 on following day after watching the AH when price hit 85.00 and went really low, i was expecting price to turn from 85.00 but did not gauge it to make such a low. So 3050.00 after the down move looked like too high of a number.

This IR so far is a bust in the traditional sense. Congrats to those LONGS in the LONG term.
I did not make bank until after 1PM after being taught a lesson all morning.

No, this one cannot be let go. The markets going up today had nothing to do with 9/11. It is coincidence. You do not fucking fist-bump someone on 9/11. That is so terribly disrespectful. Take it from someone who grew up in the shadow of those buildings.
