Service revenue dropped from last Q.

We'll gap up to 3290 at the open here in a few minutes.

Oops... my bad.... we already had the gap at 4:30.

EDIT..

K, a delayed pop. I can see it getting there when Asia opens, especially if China matches their PMI numbers.

No I was wrong. I messed up CDT with EST
 
Globex got me all pissed off just now. Algos up to their normal tricks. I’m normally all calm and collected. Must be the energy drink I just had. Blew my fuse and didn’t even lose money. Wife looked at me like I’m nuts. If I hadn’t been doing so well lately, I’d have been yelled at for the slop that came out of my mouth

:banghead:

You should explain to us what you mean by the "algos" and their "normal tricks." Cite an example, please.

5 min chart. 8:55-9:00 est. Get a push down fairy quickly. Ruins the pattern setup of the 15 min right at the very end of the bar closure (classic algo moves on globex).

In fact if u scale down to the 1 min u see parked inventory right before that (range setup of around 10 or more bars that are all within their range and minimal price movement) parked inventory setups are classic for stop runs. After 9:00est u have the stop run and push back up (algo stuff). This was all obvious, and not hard trading but my long got stopped for +1 tick after almost hitting target. No big deal that’s trading. After stop run, it moved up so fast I couldn’t get a good entry. Then 2 kids screaming. I’m juiced up on energy drink. I get pissed. No damage to account. Up so far tonight.

Good thing you don't trade cows. You follow it all morning starting at 9:30AM ET, get weird pops here and there. 3.5 hours later, looks good for entry, it suddenly reverses and then the market closes at 2PM. Ooops! Now you get to stew on it for 19 hours until it reopens. :)

I mean obviously its going to go higher at some point, but its not happening anytime soon.
At what point does your call on this "massive up-move" expire?
For journal integrity there needs to be a "use by" date. Like buying a gallon of milk.
And define a percentage for the phrase "much much higher".

You're supposed to be a trader, how smart is it to park enough money to make anything in a $24 stock that has to sit for weeks on end? And even if it does creep up, its not going to take out $27.50 for months.

I mean B1... and I mean no disrespect... but you're not real bright when it comes to trading bro.
You can buy the January 2022 at the money calls right now for $2.75.
Not a typo... 2022.

The option writers are saying it won't be over $26.75 until 2022. You think they give away money? This is an ETF B1, its not a biotech working on a cure for the pandemic. (Which as a comical aside... you denied existed for the last 4 months, until Trump called it that.)

So... put a time stamp and percentage on these calls of "massive massive up-moves", otherwise you just sound stupid like you did with the pandemic denial and the mask denial.

I've said my peace on that. I will no longer respond to anything you say about the XLF. There is no massive move coming for the foreseeable future.
Case closed.
