do you trade the TF

No, I avoid futures (I do trade some futures options), but I find that I can get a bit panicky when stuck in a futures trade..(I did trade alot of them back 10-15 years ago when I could still trust my eyes and the charts...)

I trade lots of IWM options though...same levels and such as RUT/TF

yes, although I probably wasn't that clear...I think that it's symptomatic of how illiquid all of this has become...when I see CL whipping around 10% in a matter of days and this is a commodity that has huge ramifications on worldwide economies I can only shake my head...a 10% spike on something such as a war I can understand, but now it's just part of the trap and harvest algo strategy.

Oh, now i get what your saying 100%, just was misinterpreting it.

yes thats why I ditched that last trade for a small gain....very much trap and harvest going on here..very much

when the market gets back up near its all time highs and the Fed is out of bullets... trap and harvest becomes a hard and fast tool of the longs

yes...all started exactly on 10/1...literally the entire m.o. flipped the switch.

yeah i made good money on the short but cant bring myself to go long, but this is setting up to be a gigantic fucking short trap, the squeeze is going to be big if we take out this high.
 
btw, at the risk of sounding vain, there is a big lesson to learn here for anyone actually trying to learn from the calls on this thread, both me and pricechange were short, and we profited off of it, on a day where the sandp has the potential to fuck alot of newbies holding out for a home run.

If your a pro, always make sure you pay yourself, and you react when things change at a reasonable profit.
