Pretty decent day (paper trader).. was down -2500 due to stop hit and then I made order entry mistake trying to add to short and put 5 on by mistake.. net +4500 on second trade for net +1837..

I didn't realize it was a "stop hit day" till about mid day. When I tried to buy the bounce and couldn't get anything I thought it was going to be a crash day and got out but then they ran it up to the stop.. got it up above 1246.5 and it looked like I was going to take a big loss.

Down/up.. good to end up.

I think they are front running the jobs report.

Thank you Ammo (it's a holiday here... hahaha, so sad... sometimes it's better to be lucky, I guess )

Covering 8 contracts, even though it'll likely go way lower!

Didn't see you post your entry?

Wednesday (ahem, ahem) girls say:

Bots want y/our stops

Normally I'd say EMA is support/resistance, but I think right now it's magnet

Been wrong before, of course

watch the reaction @ 1231..

will provide valuable clues as to where from here

longs need a print @ 1231.25

Remember this is only ultra-short term and changes fast

out 1228.75, losing patience....done for the day closing the books

last hour has been too volatile for me.
