Bought the dip around 2780, 2770 close stops me out.  sweatingbullets.gif

 

Nearly every Fed decision the initial move gets reversed.

Closed day trade small loss. Closed core long as well, flat. This market needs a 50 point wave 2 correction.

I will get interested above 2800.

Went back long, $2 ITM instead of $8 for the 25th. Market seems to be holding up.

If the market turns down, I will be reluctant to short it, only with a small position, the reason is VIX is under 15 and

it looks like a bull market again so I think it will not drop much. I don't want to chance a big short and have an instant reversal.

It's only in high volatility that you get big moves long and short, in low volatility it doesn't pay to be bearish. I could be proven wrong

just have to filter with context some, can't expect the market to always be the same.

Looks like not shorting was a bad decision even though I closed all longs. VIX is approaching 15 again.

The assumption of one down brick is all we get was wrong, it's leaning toward the bull market is not

back, I guess I will have to short a small position and take a drawdown. The market gave a bounce off

2770 signal to 2780 and I didn't take it, just a 10 point stop to 2790 would have been worth the risk.

Need to trade more mechanical and watch the volume for a reversal.

 

The TL is now resistance, looks ugly.

Volume is in bearish territory now. Expecting a resolution to the downside, so much so

that I tripled up on my short position.

System indicates 2750 is a lock now, beyond that anyone's guess.

Added to short on the open, now up to around 35% of account.
