710 area right here is a good short with a stop of 4 points. If 714 is taken out, then the next short area is 735. I bought some SDS.

I am with you on this trade, seems like shorting bounces is the way to go for now.

The 733-735 area looks great to me, as well.

Yesterday was a small change day on the MCO. So it's gonna be a volatile all-over-the place kind of a day, with eventual resolution in the direction of the trend. Placing stops is tricky here. I think they are trying a stop run here before the flush to the downside. I am moving my stops back up to SPX 714.

Certainly possible, I had a bunch of puts that I just closed at around 711 both iwm and spy, just does not feel comfortable. gdx shorts are still on, which appear to be compeltely inverse of the market. At this rate it could run to the previous gap down at around 724ish? Uncomfortable.
