Closed SPY 23rd short, got top tick price. Standing aside for now.

 

That was almost a triple and I didn't go all in ? I know hindsight is 20/20 but when the set up is as right as it ever gets

and you start thinking about what if I'm wrong, you ruin your trading the way I see it. Now, right now what is the risk level,

and the temptation is to chase to make up for not loading up, you see where the disaster to the account can take place ?

 

It's not about going all in on just any old regular throw a dart set up, no it's about 99% high odds you just don't get many, better make it count.

 

Anyone agree about what I'm saying here ?

Still short AAPL, too much risk on indexes. This bounce is messing up the mirror move setup so even more risk shorting now.

SPX has to take out 2710 and close.

Closed AAPL, flat. Looks more like a key reversal day than anything.

 

 

That was quick, moved down to the 187.50 opened half price of 190.

Tried an SPY short, stopped for break even. Just not a good spot to short today, I may even close AAPL again.

I'd rather wait for another high odds setup, may take awhile.  SPX can't even close at 2710, they keep buying it there.

Closed AAPL, flat and done for the day. ES hourly MACD has crossed, not buying and want no part of shorting here.

Nobody posts trades here, forecasting is easy, nothing on the line, at least publicly; or is everybody 1 minute scalpers ?

I have, take a look.

Bought 1 June 29th SPY 262C for 11.52, hedged with 1st 272.50P and long QQQ with 15th 169C.

 

This is an ugly market to trade purely directional, hope it works out for me.

Nice spot at the line overnight for a short w/2 point stop.   After a pause at the 900, MACD is set up for a test of Globex highs.

Taking a look at a day short on IWM, uncertain.

 

162.50P done.  I don't trust this market.

Wide stop set on IWM day short. It may just be a MACD retest and on to new highs.

 

Done until the close.
