Short term top in.

Short here at 1098.25 with 20
Initial stop 1118.25:)

Whats the rush?

Why not wait for a close below 1096 in the SPX?

This is a swing trade no? Why go short into a rising 5,10,20 day moving average?

This is where many will be buying. Don't let a gap fill get you too excited. A gap fill is actually bullish.

Not sure why I am posting advice today. I guess I feel morally obligated to!!

The beauty of today is that it is so rare yet so many countertrend traders will remember the thrill and the excitement of being blind ass lucky and catching a wild monster move in the face of a strong trend, internals and bullish economic news.

I've been waiting for 1121 for weeks. And isn't the saying to sell the news? I saw weakness in RSI at 1119 and a low risk opportunity to sell ES (1118.5 w/ 4pt stop).

Unfortunately I sold 1/2 at 1106 because I was too slow to adjust my target to gap fill. I'm thinking yesterday's swing low around 1105 becomes resistance, and ES retests 1096 or continues down.

Keeping stop at 1107.5 and trying not to set a target but I will close it today.

No offense ammo but your risk of ruin is virtually 100%.

You average down, no?

Trust me, I am happy it worked out for you today. I can't control the markets but I do know that this plan will end badly.
none taken, i havent been long anywhere in this B S rally,the upside is handcuffed day to day with the overbearing fundamentals we are trying to correct,so the risk of a big blowup are very low, if i was long and averaging while going down, that would be a recipe for a disaster

Actually your comment wasn't crap. It was probably one the wisest I've seen on this board!!

The long from the open was very difficult money, hence the snake pattern. The entry was 13.50, and an add at 15 at the balance area. But the deep pullbacks with little momo was exactly why I was looking short even with strong vol going up, plus the fact that we were only up 5-6 from the open and looking very weak??? That was the bears inviting us to the party. The weak action at 17 after the HOD was my confirmation to get in. Added at 12.75 and 9.75 and 5.50. Closed out at 98 when it got weak after the HUGE volume exhaustion confirmation at the bottom.

Anyone thinking reversal on a day with +2000 ADD's won't be around too long!!

2000 advancing issues is what you should expect when the DOW opens up 125+ pts from yesterday's close. Don't let it burn you. AD told me nothing today. It was all PA.
