if you think its a bull market, why are you out of it? sort of impossible to answer the question with out knowing what your time frame is.

consider three data points for SPX 1498 minor horizontal now being tested 1501+ 50day ema just above day high so far 1525 major horizontal from long-term daily risk vs. reward measurements consider the reward R elements above

I never said it was a bull or a bear...I said jury still out but I do favour the bull if you have read my work....I'm still sitting on a ton of oex calls that have more than quadrupled...sold some this morning.....I'm just trying to "give a gift" to the bull Gods as Don would say.. I'm a tick from getting stopped out by the way... :blush:

ah...ok....I saw the quoted reply and thought you meant me...

I'm all out of those calls by the way....sold the rest of the aug 670s bought at 7.20...sold them at 31 even. I'm flat all around...looking to get short again for a trade.....my stop was too tight...nice call on the 1510 area.....OEX didn't like the 200sma on the hourly
but still may want TL

i picked up some vst longs and dumped them at 1510 and went short 1 es contract.

yeah, i mentioned 1510 to you when i saw your 1508 stop, thought it was a tad tight...figured i'd chime in, but was too late? hopefully you re-entered.
