I'm happy to share.
I sold 5 ES at 1331.00 on September 21st. (net) I was in and out a bit that week.
I sold 5 more on 9/27 at 1347.25
Monday I sold 5 more at 1341 and covered that 5 lot at 1341.25
Yesterday I sold 5 more at 1339.00 leaving me short 15 lots.
I then bought 5 lots on buys stops at 1341.00, 1341.50 and 1342.00, leaving me flat.
I then sold 5 yesterday at 1345.50 and covered those this morning at 1348.50.
My last trade is a 5 lot sale at 1349.00, leaving me with a position of -5
Riskarb has advised me to sell some 1280 puts for NovEx against my short futures. I'm more inclined to sell Octs since I think November is the month that will see the most damage. I doubt I'll add to my futures position in this area at this time.
My saying I'm leaving ET if this call doesn't work out was less a "Waterloo" over the market than a statement about the stupidity of some members here. I get frustrated. Perhaps I should just ask Baron to ban me from the Politics and Religion thread...... 90% of ET'ers are good fella's but the anti-American's should be shot.

Those threads on Politics and Religion can be dangerous because they trigger a lot of emotions, mainly the ones you don' want, anger, frustration, hatred,... as they may influence, negatively, your thought process. and thus your trading.
Note to self: When Pabst makes another one of his quarterly apocalyptic calls....buy with both hands.

That's such an American statement. It reeks of America.
"America, Fuck Yeah!"
