This is what I'm thinking in response to the action the last 45 minutes. If every price bar tells a story then every bar between 1:30 and 2:05 said get and stay short.


I copied this from someone here a while ago:

take the trend/
take any way into trend
fast trend/fast in--slow trend slow in
keep the trend till the end

that would be me-thank you for remembering would just like to add
the full "song" (this song was modeled after the classical chinese martial arts songs--or short instruction sets)

smile and listen
one feature at a time
take the trend
take any way into trend
fast trend fast in
slo trend slo in
keep the trend til it ends

smile and listen means to approach the market with a very slightly positive bias--eg the market is not a foe. in fact all she wants is attention and she will often give me what i am asking for. Smiling is from qi gung and nei kun and is mental framework to start with. Listen means to observe--in the following sense

He looked up at me again smiled and told me without words that my heart was good but that I was too busy thinking about too many things one after another. He said that when we talk to ourselves without listening carefully we usually are not aware of preoccupations or obsessions that separate us from someone or something. Listening he said is different than thinking because it is more reflective more observant.

one feature at a time was taken from an appalling rock climbing accident where the guy broke both legs and has to craw for 3 days on his hands and knees before riding out for several days (during which time he fell off the horse) and then being choppered out. his point was the situation was so bad--that he could not think about outcomes--only the next rock bush or what have you. what i am looking for in myself is this sort of attitude--forget the outcome--it's too overwhelming to predict (eg the odds against predictions are stacked against you--just deal with the action). further his narrow focus on one thing (so in addition to it being close up visually) forced his awareness to narrow and allowed movement in a very very painful and scary situation.

as far as what to do--i exited a long after the spike this morning--then went long puts at hits of the 15 min 20 ema--was trading qqq and bailed them on spikes down. Trend wise the ideal trade was the first breakdown. if trading spx the idea being we would "try the daily 20 ema" which was actually what i was trading off of (the one feature). as for the future if we see spx hold around the 10 ema weekly (can go under but closes there more or less) then it gets more intersesting.

one other comment--on the trading girl thrash this morning--it's better to ask someone to "resolve" their conflicts than to just note them. in resolution of the opposites/or perceived opposites we might actually get something useful.

thanks for remembering the song and good luck to all
