no celebrations either on Xtrends, Slope or Captstool, this baby has a long way to go with extraordinary surprises to the downside. even i covered half my shorts 5mins ago

hope you all have parachutes handy! but if we get big news on Monday with a BIG only gap down open we should see a rally up to today's high area for a new short entry at the declining SPX 42ema. trading plan 2 - small gap down open and freefall to develop sometime Monday but likely not till the pm trading plan 3 -- no news event (like Spain defaulting) and gap up open for a big bull trap followed by a move lower

Right. Must not have too many. Not only that most are condition to buy on the dip. This can go on for a while longer.
You are on your own. This is for demonstration only.

I'll celebrate when it's finished. I covered 1095 ES, but will reshort the bounce-I'm thinking 1097 ish.

I believe bounces in the next few trading days shouldn't be strong enough to tempt me to take risky longs. I'll only be in shorts all through Monday. I'll exit if the price is right and re-enter. If Monday cash market starts with a correction, it may to close ugly.
