Quote from lilduckling:
Short in the afternoon..... I got stopped out in the morning from being long. This will be my biggest trade ever.... will be a swing trade....will hold for the entire week or weeks... my stop is 1215.50.
ES is done. According to my Frankenindicator, we will not see YM hit 1315 the rest of the month. I am expecting a retracement.... but overall the party is over for bulls.
Few things you should know,
We can be going down, but YM can also retrace todays losts + yesterdays lost, and we would still be going down,
You will sit through that pain if that happens.
Going short on the afternoon, you can only hope that price will continue to drop
because there is probably a 75% chance of price retracing to your price and even higher to clean out the shorts before heading down more.
-----------
With that being said, its more likely for price to retrace for 1 or 2 days before heading down more, Its not likely for price to head straight down for a 3rd, 4th , 5th day
do notice NASDAQ is on its 4th day of RED
do notice NYSE is on its 2nd day of RED
Extremely good chance of $COMPX to do a booyah upwards before heading back down.
If you are going to bet large on indexes, you need to bet @ the open instead of the afternoon.
The problem with indexes are, They will retrace you, always.
Profits can not be "swinged" easily unless you short at an extremely top.
Profits need to be taken quickly espically during a sharp drop. The faster the drop, the faster the need to take profits.
