nice pullback...?

I bought SPXU at close with the expectation of holding until late next week.

 

[KCalhoun]

I scaled down inverses, in cannabis stocks and riot mara etc. Hedged both directions, should be an interesting week ahead. TQQQ TSLA tempting.

current positions, all small; will add to those doing 2dhigh breakouts, scale out of 2dlow drops. in the red a bit

 

[KCalhoun]

So far so good, am scaling into whichever takes out 2d highs UVXY SOXS TZA FAZ SDOW SQQQ

Looks promising, just bought a bit

 

[KCalhoun]

1/11 mostly cash exc sqqq uvxy since theyre up vs spy

keeping tiny oddlot placeholder trades open in cannabis, inverses

 

[formikatrading]

I got out of SPXU at close yesterday and went into TQQQ which I sold early today. Going back into SPXU at close.

 

[KCalhoun]

big drop SPY earlier <2dl slightly bearish signal/bear trap; uncertain 2d chart though, lightened up on inverses; SQQQ was best, scaled up a bit in cannabis TLRY HEXO APHA

 

[formikatrading]

The reality is that "fundamental" conditions still are generally good for the stock market. While I had weekly sell signals on both S&P and NDX100 at end of last week (suggesting a lower close this week), Russell 2000 did not have such a signal. You really have to pick your spots for shorting the market.

 

[KCalhoun]

True.... I've been long cannabis stocks, selling into strength TLRY CRON apha etc. now..... Will rebuy later.

Carefully trying to build inverse positions if mkt drops.
