Expecting a move to a lower low as market makers take out stops, but I will be buying there. If it continues higher, that's ok, I'm long this market here for the longer run with a few small long positions.
i checked the chart again. maybe u r right. i shd not add up. i put in a trailing stop. well let's see.
The goal is not uniformity. It is understanding and idea exchange.
I read this good post on why people should think about buying dips in the next few weeks. Good returns on avg from this kind of setup, BUT, I will say there is 3 bearish days next week so the final low probably won't be in until the end of next week, so trade could get choppy the next few days.

My analysis suggests this is at its top. Up against its daily trend line. See also teh 15 min shot.
Doesn't mean it can't break thru, but hasn't for quite some time.

Nah, just typical rebound. Time is on the Bears side.
Lots of trading left for today, but in looking at SPY volumes today only (making possibly bad assumption that for the most part the existing open interest for the weekly expiration was mostly hedged coming into the day with an uncertain unenjoyment number), 131 even would be a nice place to peg it for expiration. The 131 straddle could be sold for approx. .70 (.77 when I started typing--too slow!) Not my trade, but the pros that are a lot quicker may be looking at this. Great weekend to all!
