Love it!

As you can see, I designed my trading techniques around the idea that less moves and less watching the charts is what I want. ---I want the ability to go and and play golf etc and enjoy life.

Market retraced right where it should have. Breadth has been good since last week. Assuming bullish but a close below about 3865 on S&P index would have me re-thinking this.

That being said-----headed out for 19---I anticipate a runup this afternoon and or tomorrow----talk soon

Same I do for RTH open.

i'd sell anything over 3900, not yet, waiting for the chart confirmation. tested 3890, it will head back down again.

Hey you 2 bears, how's life?

Momentum is slowing. The bulls are getting tired. I think we will close near 3915 today.

As for tomorrow, I'm more inclined to go long than short. Maybe another 100+ bagger like 2 days ago?

Was long earlier NQ. Out @ 11260. Think I'm done for day, but "they" might coax {me} into another - although CumTick not going right direction at the moment.

Apologies to everyone else for this back and forth. Thought I posted clearly this morning (many with charts) repeating that intra day bias equally favors long and shorts. I never give specific recommendations. All credit to those who do, but I would never trade off of what someone else says specifically. And although that is not for me I question the ability of those who would take a trade simply off a say so on an anonymous forum.

That's not accurate and you know it yourself.

You posted multiple times this morning how the trend, trend, trend was down. You asked us all to guess which way you thought the next move was...? Surely the implication being it was down. You were saying today would be a down day yesterday as well.

Of course this is all very vague, so you're always in a safe position no matter what happens.

Nothing wrong with being wrong, but it gets really annoying when you can't own up to it and pretend otherwise.

Ignore is in effect, so no more.

Say what?
