Quote from Macho:

Short 1 @ 117100 Stop 117575

Edit: Volente, how much slippage did they get you for on your stop?

OUCH, kicking a man while he's down! Slippage must have been brutal though, but I think he didn't even have a stop in and is probably going to try to trade out of the mess he's in.
 
Quote from keeptradin':

Having been born in the Motor City and spending almost the full first year of my life there, I have suddenly become a diehard Tigers fan. Especially since the Dolphins suck, and have since I started shaving (early 80's).

Hell if the Tigers make it to the Series I might even buy a hat. Hardcore fan, baby!! :D

You gotta love em. I was borned and raised in greater metro area. If they go to the Series, I will be searching for tickets!

Where are all those trend traders that say jump on the trend. They should be buying into this recent weakness.

The ones saying why r u getting in front of train, etc....
 
The last major swing high was 1190 on 9/27, not that long ago. I thought that 1160.50 would not hold, but now that we've broken that, I would expect deeper retraces and / or trading reversal back to favoring shorts.

I am not kicking anybody down! I don't think Volente would let the market "bolt" on him and take his stop . He was only 5 points away before the announcement.

He would probably re group and re enter.
 
leaving an averaged-in losing trade on that's only 5 points away from being stopped-out before an employment report is simply gambling and a rookie move.

First wait for the gap fill (check)

Then wait for the chop (in progress)

Then wait for confirmation and enter with a buy stop above the chop zone or on a pullback to the bottom of the range with a tight stop-loss (we'll see when/if we get there)

All contingent on price action

Always what you see, not what you think

Good luck to both longs and shorts

Risky it is.

But it depends on many things, key among them your (capital) staying power. Witness thereof that 20 up-and-down move.

Also, Volente dixit: market goes up before employment report and goes down afterwards.

So we'll see. Vol may be wrong, but he's no rookie.
