Bought some SOXL (small lots)

This could just be a bear trap...would seem to me that a lower low is almost guaranteed.

bear trap but lower low is guaranteed?

[Cobra]

well, guess that's it for today, a very strong close but also eliminated some good rebound signals for bulls. I have no idea for tomorrow, need dig more, just generally, a strong push down like we have now is unlikely just one legged.

[jarbo456]

looks likes unwinding shorts to me.

[alvian33]

wow 20 points on es in 30 min, not bad if you got in the move

[Cobra]

cobra?
this closing seems to be a good set up for long tomorrow?

No idea.

yeap, short covering, so this actually is not good for bulls as bears are very cautious here.

[jarbo456]

good call on those that took profits in the past 10 minutes.

and what now? hahahah

little chicken

you're absolutely right i'm chicken. i've given up too many profits on stubbornly following the TA in this fast moving market. 100% bigger balls and all my admiration with it ^^. i would in fact even say that's probably a good thing, but holding 50 contracts of spy puts was enough for me cashing in 20k in profits without being overly greedy.

and i did see a short term reversal, and am long 20 calls in the money at the moment. i hope both YOU and i are right in our trades.

didn't meant to be any negative, just try to be funny.

lets all make a killing here.

SEE! we both made our goals. there was a new low for you, and a nice rally at the end for me. at which point i reversed my position and took 20 contracts of SPY puts at the close.

A consecutive MAD with increasing value is not too common, if volume surged we may have a green day after.

i have always traded a small SPY position, but recently, aka in the past two months, i have gone almost exclusively SPY as global and asset correlations rose. when the market settles down, correlations fall, i'll return to looking at single stock options - then i'll be following you since you seem to be doing great with your single stock put options.

Volume actually seemed a little on the light side compared to the early August crash days. Maybe things are just getting going, but if we see lower lows on lighter volumes, it would be consistent with a bottoming process.

[tapesense]

The HFT quants now have a new goal with faster than light time traveling orders lol. ES hourlies like 1145 over 1130 otherwise it's back to the 1000s

I wouldn't refer to the august drop for volume. Volume is actually higher than yesterday and that's a pretty strong signal all by itself.

Very true. This isn't capitulation that's for sure. But maybe next week we will get another piece of the puzzle.
