I'm stubborn, and want my 6 points back from yesterday 

 

Short ES March 2667.4 Stop on HOD

Added 1/3 more @ 2668.4

 

took 1/3 off @ 2665.4 Stop on the rest @ 2670 This is now a free trade

 

Further 1/3 Profit banked @ 2661

 

I plan to cover and flip long around 2650 area


I'm not sure what my future holds... But I know who holds it.

FWIW, SPX cash will have to close at 2659.9 or lower to generate a short term sell signal via my spreadsheets. In view of the season and established targets, I would doubt a big pullback immediately. But, if that were to happen, it would, in my opinion and at a minimum, lead to some sideways up and down action  that could last a few days. Then again, it may be that the boys are positioned for more expiration profits with a lower open in the morning.

 

And in edit, two more things come to mind. One, the failure to close the daily at 2671 or above was a big deal and might be screaming for a retest of 2658.75. The second thing is that gap at the 2642 area. Maybe they gotta go back and pick up some players.

 

In order to be clear, I made reference to the cash index first. In the edit portion of the post I was referring to ESH8.

Maybe the broker/dealers are positioned for an index open around 2646. That would correspond to the large open interest on both sides at SPY 265. Then it would be a question of what they went to do into the close.

Night monkeys are known for taking the extreme to the extreme as it relates to closes. I can see, however, the distinct possibility of a back-test of 2659.25....especially with the 60 minute positioned to turn from extreme oversold.

Exactly! A good risk reward if this does transpire and I can flip short again on the am pop. If I get stopped out; I will renter long in the 2640/42 area

Well.. I’ll sleep better now. Took 1/3 off @ 2656

Av Long is 2653with a 2 point stop. Another free trade.

I’ve set a limit order for half this position @ 2660. Will Let the Rest ride or get stopped out.

Feels like I’m overtrading a little; but I tend to trade more when I’m doing well and. Trade less when I’m not.

Failure to retake 2663 tomorrow keeps me ST bearish. Gnight from the UK
