If no PPT, then S&P would be set to decline substantially, 240 just keeps heading lower and lower

Quote from JSSPMK:

I see the opposite, though daily's histogram is still up & down on potential 2nd lower peak, 240 chart shows an almost completed 3rd failure swing, there is no thinking/believing/sensing/hoping here, if there is to be a completed 3rd failure swing, then what does that mean Brainstorm? I would say overall downside bias. Crude again locked over $100!!! Metals are up also.

ImO we could see 1340 today, I don't see this going up at all

Why do so many around here disappear?

I'm here, plugging away, posting few of my trades (don't want to disclose my stop), but contributing anyway (trading is a lonely profession--I know of NO other traders personally, other than a cousin who went to one of those workshops advertised on TV), trying to grind out 4 points a day while keeping my sanity; and yet I can count on two hands the number of posters who still are here.

The answer is rather obvious, but the question still interests me.

Why put so much time and energy into something, and then just walk away?

maybe they don't have a passion for it, s.

so if they don't win right away, they just walk away. not all that surprising really....

on another topic, by my calculations, es has to break 38-40 for the drop to be real. otherwise, it's still rangebound, imo.

Quote from smilingsynic:

If S1 doesn't hold, then, yes, low 30;s
If it does hold, then low 50's.

I need more evidence before I'll take the bet.

Want to see evidence of buying before looking for a pullback. So far, no dice.

Saw evidence of buying as it crossed 45, had limit order set at 43, and now congestion.

Quote from mbusch:

Been lurking, but not daytrading or posting this month for various personal reasons. I'm traveling at the moment, but will be back home and probably resume daytrading in March.

And no, I have no idea where Apex went, but he's vanished before (also for personal reasons) so I imagine he'll be back. I hope so.

yay! he's back!

(sort of)

Quote from jagmot:

Many times i put the trade in and then follow up with edits on why I made that trade. Now I'm caught up in the thread. Also, in the morning its hard for me to post in real time as I'm taking care of another business.

Currently looking for 1339-1342 area for a good rr long. I d like to see a weak retest of yesterdays lows.

Didn't make a trade, got into my range but didnt see my trigger and also getting too close to end of RTH. Flat overnight.

Quote from kinggyppo:

out 134.52

Someone had asked me about this short term trade spy. I was thinking that the bottom was in or close to in. The actual bottom was 134.11 so you would have needed at least a .30 stop to stay in for the duration. I entered 134.40. I was not that confident in my position so I exited early. I usually try to scalp $.20 to $.30. S1 or support was 134.39. A lot of times I do not watch the chart at all but time and sales. Hope that helps.

Quote from avarus:

S&P may see 900. Can't you see what is being setup? You must study history to understand the future. It's already clear what party is going to win the election. It's not all in the technicals.
This one will go down in the history books.

it sure will........very unique time in history.
