can't resist, average short 4035, knew I shoulda stayed long lol!!  

[12SPX]

Had to add more for an average short of 4040 now and think I'll sit on that for a bit!!

We may get that ES 4100 today!   or maybe ES 3950? 

 

 

 

The usual HOLIDAY SEASONAL bullishness could drive this market up to at least ES 4100 by Friday 4pm 

But, I cannot trust these rallies since sellers seem to be waiting for any significant rally to sell. So, VST trading & hedging

 

Yu may have a point there in the short term d as I mentioned 4000 yet and a nice even number.  I'll wait until the cash open to see how much oomph there is.  So far tech isn't joining in on this rally as much which is interesting..

Yup true could shift fast but as I have said long was the play this week from 3900, I'll be shocked at the least if were not above that by the close tomorrow!!

Not closing ANY CALLS, ETFs, STOCKS, SPREADs since early today. Also holding all 3 ES & NQ SHORTS.

Not adding any more HEDGE SHORTS, as yet. Will add another to existing 3 each if ES trades above 4080, nearer to 4100 - or I may decide to cut CALL positions by 25 to 50%. Depends on how much more NET profit I can eke out of the SPY & QQQ CALLS, with DELTA rising slowly and looking even more promising, but should flatten around these or slightly higher levels.  I am tempted to bank existing profits - at least in UVXY PUTS, SPY & QQQ CALLS, and a few stocks partially closing. But, let it ride for a while until I the rally gets extended today -- SPX up by 2.3%, NQ by 3% so I wait to see if I can get another 0.5% up on these and then liquidate positions to maximize MAY 2022 return. 

 

I will continue to close UVXY PUTS bit it has not crashed as I expected, still at 14.90. Will gradually close a few more and keep maybe 20 to 25

 

Will add an extra lot to NQ SHORT DAYTRADES.

Afternoon consolidating, snooze session .... then explode higher! 

 

HOWEVER, it is difficult to believe the SELLERS have gone away. Maybe, then need higher & higher prices to sell. 

So, I am giving it at least a 40% probability they will SELL later today or tomorrow.
