They had 15-20 point shakeout first...

Flat is warm and nice

haha i saw.
that's why I said

i went through a stage fairly recently of always buying before the news.
I figure it basically always either rips, or it V's! haha (so i'd add another long on the rare occasion it went down first)

system still working! would have been an 'add' trade for the usual V I guess lol

Should pick up a direction from here. My guess is we'll hit 5800 from here, but I'm not in any trades currently and think I'll sit this one out.

short 720

out +10

 

[Laissez Faire]

Wouldn't be surprised if this dumps either. So, sitting it out. Probably easier trading conditions tomorrow.

Dreading the next couple of weeks as a mortgage loan officer. Folks see will see 'FED CUTS BY 50BPS' in the headlines and everyone will call to try and refinance.
