Zippo day today, but good day to put on an ES set for this short trade with ya, J. We have good odds of fading Friday's move in the next day or so... I'll take off half there, and then put in B/E+1 stops on the remainder.
Bears need to take out the lows from 2/7 (by at least a pt) on SPX if they want to get serious here.
Remember from my early post on January I am still holding SPXU position average cost 31.49 and 2/3 and if SPY hits 152.50 i am going to add more and get more aggressive We should be patient . I am going to test minimum 50 day MA
J, as you know, whether a market is manipulated or not is immaterial. A strong trend will override indicators whether the trend is due to fed liquidity or mass psychology. The question is whether a system can "recognize" such irrational moves and make appropriate adjustments. So, have you given any thought to teaching your system to respect tidal waves?
TNA short made about 1/2 of 1% profit today. Not so boring (at least to me). Take care, J.

Darn that fed liquidity...
ReplyDeleteIs it even possible to short a market with nearly unlimited Fed intervention, liquidity, and both Japan and Venezuela debasing their currency.
DeleteI am going to hate to 'realize' this loss... sigh

ReplyDeleteIf your SPXU cost basis is 31.49, you relatively few shares @ early January prices.;-)
DeleteThat is, If your SPXU cost basis is 31.49, you bought very few shares at early January prices.
DeleteAs I was saying... we ignore the trend at our own risk.
