Quote from Laissez Faire:

As a day trader one have to be aware of those invisible resistance lines and get out fast on any signs that they are holding.

I saw your original entry and intended to write that you should hold it all the way to the gap fill if we took out the AH 50%, but I was busy managing my own trade. :)

I`m considering entering a long if we take out the current highs, but I change my mind 10 times per minute, so...

Other potential invisible resistance above is 52 and 53,25.

Gap fill at 55,75 would be nice.

But I guess it all depends on if we take out the highs. The high may be in for the day. For me, anything in between right now is noise. :(

Tortoise,

That`s very interesting. :)

LF - Thanks for your commentary. Helps a lot to a newbie :)
It seems we have made the low and are now going back higher.

The rationale for the trade (which I have still on since i moved the stop back to 42) is that we have been having down gaps for last 3 sessions now, and this session down gap is pretty significant. I think its highly probable that we will fill this gap first, before price starts to go down.

Swing trading in this market is like playing russian roulette. Plenty of ops intraday. I struggled with this as well. Minimal size and taking what you can get overnight with limit orders is probably the only way to survive it.

I feel your frustration, believe me. One day we will wake up and the market will be limit down but right now governments are doing their best to keep the sinking turd afloat.

cheers mate.
 
I saw the long setting up at 7:39, had a limit order at 44.75's to buy, but pulled it because I was chicken.... That short threw me off! :) Man I can't sell this thing for sh*t.
 
50% gap tagged there.

Buying up here was the original plan, but I`m a little fearful of that right now, considering that it is still potential resistance up here and that NQ is now lagging below it`s morning highs.

Will be watching if TICK starts dumping now or if the opening range high does not hold.

If it does hold, I guess it`s long then? :)

"Man I can't sell this thing for sh*t."

That's how they know they will win...think about it...

And good thing you aren't selling it at the moment. Wave may be right long term, but shorts are the ones getting run over right now (day trading trades, not swing trades).

I almost put in a buy stop at 46.50 but also chickened out for some reason, even though I've been looking long since the open, when I took the other long.
