No big swings down this morning so nothing to do but add to shorts bringing my average up to a nice even 5150 and 18,000.   As I always say I don't mind markets that rise but when its a straight up affair its not healthy.  +3% in 3 days is not healthy and so were more likely to see a -1.5% pullback anytime and I have a feeling that with consumer debt figures coming out later today and the 10-year bond auction might not going as well as people would hope that is where we'll see volatility kick up again.

I do not think this market rallies much from these levels but will daytrade ST & VST NQ LONG & SHORT as I did yesterday. Am small net SHORT & will liquidate more LONGS if market rallies, that is GET SHORTER IF MARKET RALLIES.
FINALLY AAPL rallied but am not too impressef with the stock unless it breaks out above 185. It may do so today after news of new AAPL AI CHIP...and NVDA down 9 after that news. I am flat NVDA & SMCI but mat add on any pullback more than 2%

Nice NQ Vst long closing at 18181.50
Did many such trades yesterday ... requires patience, focus, and STICK TO THE PLAN & METHOD required in these trades. I prefer to err on the side of taking profits TOO SOON in these ST & VST trades

AAPL may also announce AI CHIP... will close some LONGS if so:

"Everything Apple will announce at its iPad event on May 7: iPad Pro, Air, Pencil, and more
Ahead of WWDC in June, Apple is expected to unveil new iPad Pro and iPad Air models at this Tuesday's virtual event."

I do not think this market rallies much from these levels but will daytrade ST & VST NQ LONG & SHORT as I did yesterday. Am small net SHORT & will liquidate more LONGS if market rallies, that is GET SHORTER IF MARKET RALLIES.
