long 55.50, stop 53.25, target ??? maybe HOD, maybe 67

Reversed 56.75 (now short) stop 60.75

EDIT: Obviously out. Dumba$$ move on my part - long for 65 to 67 is the play for me now.

out

Gap between 48 and 53 , yes. Although the 2 gaps below really combine to make 1 gap of about 4 points from 19 to 23.---Quick reminder----gaps do not have to fill. They just do a lot of the time.

I would think we need to firmly establish this 2757 number as new floor to get there. We are still constructing here.

Gaps need to be viewed on daily charts. The day has already been won on this subject and I am on to other items.

Vix is green.
Barely, but it should be red today.

I don't look at VIX. Do you prefer green or red and why do you think it should be red today?

Now that the day has been won on gap analysis, I would welcome other items to discuss, like risk management etc. or today's pullback which should present a great opportunity for a long lagter today or tomorrow.---I really love pullbacks in an up-market.

In regards to risk management for a pullback, if a position is signaled over night, do you or would you act on it and manage it into the day session? If so, what would be appropriate in regards to risk management being that a hard stop is not active during after hours? Also, the supported pullback of 2754...would this entry be taken if the better risk reward position from 2749.00 (after hours) was not taken?

Vix is red...has been red...which extends to why we have been green since 12.2018
