as they say, bulls run up the stairs and bears jump out the window... 1 hour gains erased in 10 minutes :D

well, guess that's it for today. Big mess, I didn't make good calls today, guess I was too stubborn about 3 push up, very biased. I should check myself. The bigger picture still goes as planned although much stronger than I thought today. Thank you guys, I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, the bulls final exhaustion was so obvious, that's for sure.

The algos going crazy and the short squeeze finished for now, but I still see some (limited) upside potential for tomorrow:

this market is a shitshow. i missed out on cashing in profitable positions all week. and once again, only managed to salvage a part of that rally profit before they decided to take us down an entire handle, yet another handle+ move in the last 10 minutes of the day.

the dow fell 140 pts. in 26 minutes....

bloomberg had reported all day that this was only a short squeeze,
with very light volume....
i didn't care how long it would take
i wasn't going to take a loss on the trade...

Thanks Cobra, I was out at SPY 1200 as you said the target. I was rushing out at the moment, so I think that's good enough for today. When I came back, was a big shock that the market went back right after 1200.

So not too greedy will make money.

This is my first day in Cobra's english forum.

To tell the truth, I am not impressed by Old Snake's performance. :mrgreen:

Oh well, it's late and I guess no one will check the board after 4PM. My thoughts on the 3 pushes are to satisfy both time and distance (points gain or lose). sometimes when the distance (points gain or lose) is OK but the time is not there yet, then no change of direction. Market is always right and it always surprises us.
