I'm curious about this move. Are you aiming for a 2/27 type move or one that plays out over a few days?

Most likely a few days... dont really care how it gets there.

it sucks when you buy the high with no stop.

Quote from JimmyJam:

Yeah, the pop stopped me out, re-entered @ 1522.25, looking for the gap to get filled.

Later,

Closed @ breakeven.

Market isn't selling off right now, so flat.

Quote from wave:

And yes you must be rational and professional and realize nothing is 100%. So no conviction, be just as prepared for the long continuation with resting order or existing long positions.

I always trade with conviction... scared money always loses.

Place your trade, manage your risk and accept your loss if you are wrong.

Quote from saxon22:

I understand your point but today this market is up because of consumer sentiment figures

It's up because it wants to go up. If the figure was terrible, it would have dropped for 10 seconds and we'd still be at this level.

don't let those numbers fool you. Just pay attention to the market. The market has been going up on good news and bad news. It is what it is.

Have orders to get short at 1527.50 with a stop at 1529. Target 1 is 30pts below the market. Going to go make myself an omellete as well.

Getting close....

Crossing my fingers for one final rally of exhausted buyers... then a final hour selloff like yesterday

Jumping the gun entering short here on the retest at 1526

stop 1 ticks above the high.. Trade is small size.. we may still get up to the zone I just dont want to miss the move and there is cfs coming into the 1526 area as well.
