... some margin for error if needs be, before they come to fruition... I've got enough staying power ...

It took me eight miserable years to learn the essence of this statement. Sorry for dicing up your reply.
 
Quote from swing-scalper:

Against my own assertion. Took a small short at 744 for a possible DT. Stopped for 5 ticks.

Today is definitely a killer day for shorts.
tell me about it
I shorted first 15 min bar successfully
then the daily pp, then r1, r2, then couldn't take it anymore
I remember a day like this, I think it was the friday right after thanks giving
 
I got stopped on my 1066 longs NQ monday @ 1043 and as a consequence never really caught the move up...

big opportunity missed and it feels like a loss..

Came close to being stopped out. Still could happen.

I don't usually hold on to a loser this long, but for some reason I believe this rally ain't for real. Anyway, come what may.

My BE on all shorts is at 730.1666 (March) which I think is quite attainable by early next week, so I'm not concerned one bit because I'm moderately hedged. My BE with my hedge is at 744.86. How far are you from being stopped?

A drift back to 50% of today, or PP, whichever one is closer, is a high probability setup after a strong up day.

50% of RTH is 730 area.

True, selling pressure was nearly nonexistent. However, volume was less than 2 million. Isn't that a bit on the lighter side? And 10%+ rally in just 3 days is a little rich to stomach, no? Ya I know, this may sound like no more than typical excuses. :)

Holding 40 contracts at approximately 742.

I'm with you on this one. We could hit the LOD in the lower 20s if the bears are successful.
