I say we hit 1485 before we hit 1495 though.

tini, wager?

RE seeing 1485 before seeing 1495,

ES is 1483.

Wouldn't it be impossible to get to 1495 without passing through 1485?

Yeah, that was the joke, hence the "

" He's been pulling that on a daily basis. I suppose it could gap, however.

LOL! That's hilarious. That's what I was thinking.

It looks like both me and you didn't get that joke, lol.

i don`t like giving 5 handle stops but this one is going to sit just above 90......from cost avg of 84.75.

i have no plans on covering this anytime soon unless i`m stopped as i`m seeking 40 & lower with no scale outs.....all or nothing.

Quote from apex82:

with ya on this one.. but dont like to hold when the market closes at it highs. They like to play games in the afterhours.. ahh well.

tough trading day for me.. at least on the us indices. First down day in a long time... tomorrow is a new day.

looking to take a piece of this short off at 1480 area overnight.. second target in 1477 and third target in the 1465 area.

taking first piece off here at 1481

Quote from vertigo3:

volente,
aren't you the poster who talks about the Tdays (Tues&Thurs)?

Is it your observation that IF RTH opens down, that at some point during the day there will (usually) be positive prints.

Do I have it right?

Are there any observations for Tdays when price opens higher (like today)?

Reminder: this is option expiration week and often bulls(long calls) or bears(long puts) will each get screwed. Yesterday might have been the day the bulls got screwed. today, bears have to give it up?

This is all about options as I previously said when we closed at 1439.

Quote from volente_00:

Current option interest points to 1440 - 1480+ some time this week. A spring can only compress so far before it pops you in face.

We got my week range in 1 day.

:eek:

Quote from Buy1Sell2:

Bounces are common in markets. I have a little longer timeframe and so will stay short.

Why not use a trailing stop ?
