I think no QE3 - - message will be carefully given that amounts to.... you politicians need to get out of the kitchen and serve the folks in the dining room. I've held 'em off as long as I can!!

when the "generals" (big guys) do this, i call it "running the stops".
to deal with this common problem.... set "buy" traps or "sell" traps at bol band limits,(use BB settings 8,1.8)
you'll be rewarded....
then, trade only in the direction of the long term trend....
don't counter-trend trade....
don't be greedy a small scalp is always better than a stop-loss...
it works best from tick bars charts to 3 minute charts.
when the generals run the stops they take out as many retail traders as possible....
remember the market's goal is to distribute the wealth of the many to as few hands as possible...

So what will he say?
He'll say: the economy is fine, inflation is temp, we'll take any action necessary to boost this economy.

Do you attribute this to HFT? By the way, sold TZA awhile ago.

I see no QE3 either but what he says will be supportive, News due out as well in the morning before anything comes from jackson, hole. I have cycle tops not due till monday. I just find it hard to believe the tops in for this bear market rally. My problem is what they do over night because of the DAX crumble... Not sure but holding my longs in here I believe.

the shade is your target for the day cobra???
text book target, if indeed breakout. H&S bottom target has 74% chances to be met if I remember correctly.

That's it for me today. Shorted the close yesterday and almost lost my shirt at the open this morning. I remember someone saying recently though that you have to be a little insane to make money in the market... I removed my stops and doubled the trade. Worked out. My charts still tell me down but I don't like the headline risk.
Trade: SDS Sept 17 Calls, IN @ 2.51 (average), OUT @ 3.20. Nice little bump.
Anyone holding overnight? I might make a small spec position, short.

Sure, but maybe Bears. Maybe a lot of short covering for those who have been shorting the rips all week long. I don't imagine any trader wants to be too much to one side ahead of tomorrow.
