Thanks, R123. What chart do you see your short on?

Watching 3 minute bars currently, pulled open order up a few points until I see stalling.

Interesting market reaction. China GDP flat, but industrial production up, Retail sales up, Unemployment up. Mmm. Such difficulties. The ball is in Powell's/Trump's court now. I hate trading equities through shit like this.

Blah, back to energies for me.

Like a pilot going for a biennial review on an aircraft type he/she has not flown for two years. :-(

Are you a pilot as well? I've got my single engine VFR rating. Haven't flown for several years, though. Good analogy.

Long 7959.75 off of a daily close bounce. Stop was 7955.00, but by the time I finished the message my auto breakeven + 1 was triggered, so there I sit.

Out at 7962.50.

Looking at a long off of R1 on the ES. Thoughts?

Excellent man. You got your 3 points. Take the victory.

My flying days have been over for quite a while, due to kidney stones. They are instant disqualifying for a commercial license. Alas.

Damn. Hopefully, you can get back in the air someday.

Are you still going short?

Not as PIC in commercial. I can probably do Private when there is another Private with me. But that is OK. I was very close to the Private rating though, could have had it within 30 hours or so for certification, and just done the 40 hours requisite as a matter of course after that...
*shrugs* Life changes us.

Not yet, shelving the idea. Has touch or broken 7965 4 times in last 15 minutes with a pullback of 2.5 points max. , not healthy stalling.

I think I will take the "no trade is better than a bad trade" option. It is in a tight sideways pattern. I think I will set it on alarms and watch a movie with my wife. Came to the party to late tonight.
Hope you score big.
