Posted this morning US time about bear trap. refuse to close long for a mid size loss. waited till now for a small loss. hope my signals was a useful reference for you.

Keep Calm and be Long

My opinion on markets, or anything, is a health hazard. Follow or fade at your own risk!

Sure looks that way. Closed my QID position at 16.00 for a loss of .45. I dont want to be holding QID with the NDX over 2000. Will try again higher.

It occurs to me that it might be better to "try again" when technical conditions warrant such actions.

For now...shorts continue to have very little on their side to work with, unless, you're able to hit and run intraday (like today).
