watch for a 60 minute downdraft...of 20 points or so.

Do you mean a downmove that lasts 60 minutes or are you referring to a 60 minute chart?

there was a nice decline in the VIX during the most recent ascent of ES prices. This is the Thursday before expiration, maybe everyone's been wiped , but a move in the VIX below 32.77 should coincide with a rocket shot higher.IMHO

I mentioned I bought tbills 2 days ago. Probably up $100 on my "position" but will hold to maturity. Many basis points are few dollars on less than $1mm.

Quote from mbusch:

Wonder whether today will be trendless sideways consolidation here around 1400+-, more suitable for scalping than long-ball hitting? Seems to me we haven't had one of those for quite a while.

One more try here...

Long from 1395.50 with 3-tick stop.

If this works, it'll be a great entry. If it doesn't, it's 3 ticks.

Not the best chart but you can see the flight to quality.

No follow-thru, so out at breakeven.

Can you spell S-I-D-E-W-A-Y-S ?
