I see a long.

Covering 1180, +28

Went long 52, add 45, add 40, stop 23.

First target 75, small.

Will exit more past 80.

Nice spike. Was looking to enter a long if we breached the current high and thought I had ample time.

Will see if I can get in on a pullback. Maybe not.

Looks like they roped em in again at that 1136 level and trying to drive it up.

As I am relatively new to ES, was that spike news related, stops from shorts overnight getting run, or "normal"?

Possible that it's trapping longs for another push down to the 20s?

EDIT: according to my interpretation of one of the charts here, 25 to 27 may be a good buy point. Will be interesting to see what happens on this Friday.

Study the recent history. Fairly normal

If you think we trade down to 25-27, why not short it?

I think at least a test of yesterday`s lows should be expected.

Very volatile morning this far with no established direction yet.

Thanks LF --

My plan was to short 42, but after moving down to under 36 I changed the plan, particularly with the surge up I was (and still am) unsure about where it wants to go.

Had a sell order at 44 looking for 23 when the TOS Server crashed. :mad:

We'll see if this costs me, or saves me $$$$.

There has to be a coming short squeeze, its just the way this market works. Pending a big headline ther are going to try and flush out the weak hands.
