Had a pilot short yesterday that was stopped out during yesterday's closing spike for small profit.
In spite of gain, technicals still look weak. Looking to re-establish short at higher prices.
Mechanical model is in sell mode.

Today is interesting for Tom DeMark followers. I believe a TD Sequential Setup buy signal will trigger today with an SPX close <1188.04. Above that, the setup is nullified, which I guess would keep followers of this signal on the sidelines.
Thanks for this observation! Here's my DeMark count:
The attachment sc3.png is no longer available

And his rules for a TD:
"If before price bar 9 is reached a price bar fails to close below that of four bars previously then the Setup is abandoned and the numbers are automatically deleted. Once nine consecutive price bars have been completed the trader will be looking for a "perfected" Setup; one that is now valid for trading. Buy Setup perfected when the low of either price bar 8 or 9 is less than the lows of both price bars 6 and 7."

But I'm a novice at DeMark, so not being critical :D
i am trading demark setup and countdown for a long time. a flip is not a good trading signal. you should wait for couple more bars. 4-5 is kinda commonly accepted entry point. overall i should say demark is more on reversal. i use it more on exit side.
I am still getting familiar with this myself. Here is a summary. A web search will turn up a lot. I think we have blown the perfected setup already.
Note: A TD setup occurred in the August plunge and buying it was a loser. It was better to wait for the TD Countdown.

Cobra, so does this mean the talk of "revisit the lows" is over as per last night's report?

Thanks

With all due to respect, you have some attitude problems. Neither do I long nor short at this moment, but your comment at that time seems to contradict with your call for scalpers.

LOL he gave two options... either stupid OR has big ones... I added shorts, but I'd like to think I have big ones and am not stupid.

I guess I've got to explain: signals around 1202/1205 are very contradictory: bulls seem to be in control, but on the other hand resistance is extremely strong. Early in the morning I shorted ES down from 1204 to 1195, but now I don't have the guts to do it again... Seems to me the market is too strong.

Cobra,

Also, one follow up question, please: Is it too early in the week to consider Friday's employment report and what it might mean in terms of a "pivot day"?

Thanks again!
