yeah I got stopped out too. Oh well.
I missred that one. It really did appear to be a sell off. I guess the market can fool even the best of us.

Curious why did you think the market was heading down? I thought the market was heading higher and traded that way.

Remember markets tend to trend intraday almost all day.

For journal integrity purposes it isn't an offical trade, but that is the position I am currently in (got into it before market closed Friday).

My guess is that ES will open >6 lower based upon the rally in yen. USDJPY is lower by 180 pips, presumably on the news that Barclays walked away from the LEH deal.

6 points lower, or do you mean something else?
The last time we were at about 106 on the USD/JPY we hit 1212 on the ES.

Points, but perhaps %, lol. Dollar-yen is now down 200 pips. ES should open >10 points lower.

ESZ plunge,
is there any news that anyone knows about?
