B1S2, although I admire your patience to stay in the position, your not using a tighter stop loss also means that today you just gave back 80 ES (!!) points gains....

If he sold when everyone was anticipating a big retrace last week he also would have missed the huge move down... He's comfortable with his style, let the man trade the way he trades! :)

He misses nothing if he does not cover on the down move.

Quote from Spectre2007:

looking at different factors, and timelines, and FED easing cycles...


basically the 3rd-4th quarter is when market should crash..

from now and till then ES will chopp up to bust those different stop clusters..

there is a macro trading principle its hard for fundies to ignore, in that usually about 12 months out from the initial cut, economy starts showing stimulative effects, now this time around it could be different, but this trade is hard to ignore, same thing with bond yields, bond yields should rise to bust some positional short stops..

most everyone doesn't want to be the last one standing at the musical chairs of equity positioning for the stimulative resumption in the economy.

they will run it up first and ask questions later.
 
Do you guys believe that someone (PPT) was holding up the futures on Tuesday morning?

This is shown in the S&P futures chart above -- as compelling a picture as you will ever see of what traders refer to as “strong hands.” This is not the buying of mere institutional traders second-guessing each other so as to produce a raggedy series of lows. Rather, it is a buyer whose 1255.50 bid was set in concrete, fearlessly oblivious to the selling panics that had overwhelmed the world’s bourses for two consecutive days. The bid held for long enough to exhaust sellers, as it doubtless was intended to do, causing the major averages to rally back to unchanged on the strength of the massive short-covering that followed.
