You can say that again bro. All-in for me here.

Do you think they are going to let it happen today though? For some reason I'm not so sure it will.....

big down move setting up across all time frames. Short from 44.25. stop HOD.

How we close today is very important.

Those sell setups in multiple time frames may or may not materialize if they can print a close above 50.

You are def right about that. I want to see them struggle to get the position they want on. We need to see a fight for the best short price like the good ol days.

I'm with you on that thought. I don't see them letting go today, they've been showing a uptrend since 11am

Let me just say that I'm swinging for the fence. Not planning on getting out at the EOD.

Now easy boy, you might piss off some resident trannies.

Shall I say more than double my usual size?

Quote from saliva:

It's fair to say that everyone here values ure insight but I wish you would just simply stick to the tried-and-true taboo of posting only the entry and exit points without all this "10% hedge" mumbo jumbo. Moreover, if your current short position is so negligible, why bother telling the whole world about it? Just give us two numbers: when you got in and when you got out. As a result, ure stature would rise exponentially. I guarantee it.

Thank you for the compliments. I understand that my trading strategy is more complex and beyond the purpose of this journal. Therefore, it's best that you ignore the % figures and focus more on the timing of these trades. However, placing these % figures next to my hedges is quite meaningful. It keeps me transparent and quite focused on what I'm trying to accomplish. But I understand it's confusing to the rest of you, unless of course you're an options trader.

From time to time, I'll be posting my net results and the "tilt" of my position to be as clear as possible. I have no interest in stature elevation, preferring to focus more on knowledge elevation.
