What I just don't get are traders like Volente. Sure, I understand swing trades. Volente put on a 30 point stop upon entering short earlier this week. The market rallied to fresh all-time highs and pulled back. OK, all is reasonable, down a few, up a few.... and proceeded to take out that high! The market spoke regarding a short position!!! It seems these traders are just more interested in being right. Or maybe they have outrageous round-trip costs, LOL! Of course, in a a different thread, this whole runup since whenever it started, is referred to as a rally in a bear market!! I shit you not.
So here it is the weekend, Vol's position will (likely) be held with a 500 smackers give or take drawdown (per ES contract held), with the market making fresh intraday for sure, and possible closing all-time highs. Hey, it's only about halfway to his 30point stop! I guess the hope is the world will wake up on Monday morning in a panic, dripping with sweat.
