Still Long.
My trend signal remains up but vulnerable.
My summation index signal remains down.
Confession:
While waiting for a holiday rally last week, my long got trapped by the cliff mess in D.C.
Late Friday, I stopped it out per discipline.
Then after the close, the SPY just crashed.
I bought back my position on impulse at a nice discount to where I sold.
No real technical analysis or set up. It just looked like panic and capitulation.
Also, after so many down days, some kind of up should be near (or a true crash).
I then spent the weekend beating myself up and worrying.
Today, I went skiing and stayed away from TVs and the computer.
A stop is in place, and watching the sausage get made in Washington would only cause stress.
So, I am staying away and letting the thing play out one way or another. Crap shoot.
Regardless of whether it makes money or not, it is chaotic and not the way I wanted to end my trading year...
