Shenanigans on crude right before 2:30 close. Par for the course.

Out of all positions at 1285.5 (except the 1308.75) ... + 27.5 Points.

This is scary as I'm going against the grain, but what the heck. Adding again one unit at 1273.25 . Placing additional Buy Stops to enter at 1274.25, 1275.25, and 1276.25 . Stops at 1252 on all.

long spy 126.95 tight stop. Looks like the reversal down was oil related.

Dow struggling to form a IHS on 30-min.

I'm done trading for the day and am about to shut down and head out to the gym, so I'll throw this out: I have noticed over the years that markets sometimes will tend to return not just to that day's open, but to the previous day's open. For today that is 1267 (it is around 1268 right now as I am typing this). If I were trading this I'd put a limit order at 67.25 and set a close stop.

No positions in ES until tomorrow (should be interesting.

still holding, added around 126.50, someone trying to get a touch of 126.00 on spy, close but no cigar.
