How long should i hold this measly one contract short



Im now seeing a target of 1461.

This has been rough, can't believe i held it but i can no longer take it no more.

Im out of my overnight short at 1464 - close enough to my target.

I have been trying to short rallies today and i still got shaken out of many profitable positions.

Interesting. The ES is rallying but the NQ isn't. Been a while since I've seen such divergence.

When do the dead funds stop floating to the surface?

Hope to see some famous hedge managers driving a cab soon.

No tip.

Or a fancy dinner for two at a good restaurant. I was thinking the same thing earlier.

This is messed up but watching Bush earlier I was thinking; all he needs on his resume is a stock market crash, does today count?

I'm done for the day. Net +22 points. I missed the entire initial downmove (slept through alarm and didn't start traing until 10:45 ET), and made some boneheaded mistakes that probably cost me better than 10 points, but it was still a profitable day so I'm not complaining.

Sorry I didn't post my trades live today, but I've got some kind of headcold and was trading while hopped up on Benedryl, so it was all I could do to pay attention to my trading, much less ES Journal, email, etc. (I'm sure the Benedryl didn't help my execution any.) In fact, I think I'm going to bed and try to get better.

I may not trade tomorrow, got a doctor's appointment that will take me away at 3pm ET. Good trading, all!

it would be nice if these conditions persist for a year or more.
