"It's like running up the down-escalator but failing to make it to the top. You almost get there, you're tired, you stop and the escalator simply takes you down again." --Seanote

Good analogy:D

That trade will get busted. If you use charts and studie make sure you edit that trade or it will throw off your indicators.

In a recent reply you stated that your performance has improved since you revamped your trading 4 years ago. What direction were you headed 4 years ago and what changes have you made since?

Would also be interested in your comments about this, whenever time permits.

Thanks
 
Seanote,

Are you waiting out this rally? You haven't done anything today, so I'm guessing you think it will reverse at some point, unless you are long S&P's. This is triple witching week, so some craziness can be anticipated.

I'm pretty confident the market will reverse this afternoon or tomorrow but it's still very difficult to trade right today. Today is shaping up to be a non-trading day unless we get some movement after lunch due to the lack of volatility and this rally trading at the the hgih end for the day. That creates a lot of uncertainty intraday which is why I've elected to trade less or stop for the day after my JPM position is closed.
