Well I played GLW long for a small profit then switched to SDS @ 36.93.

I find it hard to watch everyting and post here as well. I'm to worried I'll miss something since I'm just learning. Will be at my computer today & tomorrow the entire day so I'm hoping to pick up some pointers.

NAV,

I read SDS resistance @ 37.66 then 38.07.

SDS - S/L 36.00 -36.10, I would probably use 35.95. I'm a little chicken so might use a profitable trailing stop if S&P drops to 1085.00.

S&P close below 1085.00 looks like add too SDS position.

Am I close?

Thank you,
JDJ

Looks good. A move below 1087 is required to add, if one is not fully short. I am fully short though.

Again, we are still very close to the top and i would not attempt to trail the stop, unless i am day trading. Violent snapbacks and stop runs are common when we are so close to the top. Only after a sustained selloff would i think about a traling stop.

Thank you for your reply and those tips. That S&P 1120.00 number still haunts me and that is why I have mainly been looking long. A close over 1120.00 looks like 1135.00 is very possible to me, and that is why I'm only 10% short at this time.

Best of trades,
JDJ

Simple is what I need, will look at those numbers on my charts and see if I can indentify them.
