Turned out to be a better trading day than I expected -  a busy day as markets rallied, then a mini-plunge, back up again, then tapered off to end the day. 

 

May open a long hedge NQ with a buy limit order place below 10700 but I only have 9 QQQ PUTS so I am not too keen on that.

a bit of a mixed bag, but overall, have to mark this one down a win for the bulls...

 

Bears were not able to break and hold any significant levels.

 

Now we see tomorrow if the Trannies can blow the roof off out of the tight wedgie or not.

Looks like it is all about whether SPX can build a base here around 3240....

 

If they can, then full reversal possible....

much more buying strength than I expected

Out for another 4 points, maybe wait now and see....

after a busy day it tapered off at the end, no trades during last half hour
Bulls clawed thier way back and defended ES 3190 again.

That UPS action, combined with SOX holding 2100 like a champ kept me from getting very bearish today.

 

Look at that liftoff on UPS to new all time high....wow

If Markets take all of those Davey Day Trader Island tops from June, then could start to see indexes do something similar soon...

SPX already living above the island, and refused to go back below despite multiple attempts at it, and the others not very far away from blowing it out....

Leaving one NQ long @ 10880.5  overnight hedge and placed another buy limit order @ 10,720, just in case

closed overnight hedge long +21.5 points

 

will reopen lower, and  keep one NQ long over weekend

made more NQ profit in after hours trade yesterday than during all of cash session, what a ramp up!

Want to add at least 10 QQQ PUTS today so I want NQ to maintain rally for a while in cash session
