Only wish I had held onto my longs from yesterday instead of getting stupidly smoked out. Never mind. Going long here. it appears news suprises on the upside in general. Can target the SPX 1450 here. I will keep a prudent stop in place at the 1425 level in the cash. not much risk.

I'm heavily short with spx june 1520's ....I'm still scalping es long and short but very interested in spx 1534.

I'll be hedging above there but I don't think we close above 1534/35.

Tor, You must mean your target is spx 1550 not 1450?

Tor, Something is wrong ST, I've scaled way back to cash. Index put/call ballooned yesterday. I'm going to start using trailing stops, I can't take not being able to access my account while away from my computer, and I don't like giving back the gap up gains.

Tor,

Yes 1550 cash.

Of course may be something wrong, but with the top calers my strategy is to simply forget about the indicators, the overbought, the divergences and just follow the price trend, which is up and put a stop in. Hardly any of my stops are getting hit. When they do, I stop!

"Yes 1550 cash." 1450...Freudian slip...?

Took it back off, no bounce.

May take the week off, pre holiday selling.
