it might seem massive, its just a fraction, I have 8 figures ready to drop on this market.

the short trade is just a scalp, proctors earnings will be good. I only use stops on positions that can hurt me.

The market has to break through 1370-1400 zone, it paints a double top on the market.

1620 before it happens.
 
Apex, how about a friendly wager, i'll donate 5k to charity if 1370 breaks first, and you donate 5k if 1620 breaks, if anyone else wants to join, feel free.

Do I understand this right: For Apex to lose, ES must rise 75 handles from the close, but for you to lose, it must fall 175 handles? Haven't you stacked the deck just a bit, Chris?

At this point in time 1620 is 80 pts away while 1370 is 170 pts away...... I may be confident in my trading abilities.. but not stupid. Odds are that we break 1620 before 1370.... so I wont make a wager on that. However, the best trade is short vs long in terms of probabilities and most importantly R:R at this point. That is all the matters to me when I place a tradee. The only way I would give to charity is through a trading competition.
