Market Neutral.
Closed remaining short yesterday by the 200 day MA.

The trend is down and technicals are bad.
At the moment it is looking like I should have kept some chips on the table.
While I anticipated support in the neighborhood of the 200 day MA to the rising bottoms line from October, there has been little so far.
Not good though it looks like we are bouncing a bit as I write.

I'll watch from the sidelines for now but stand ready to trade some panic if things breakdown further.
I also want to see how things close today. A good or bad Friday close would color my thinking.
Next week is OPEX, and put/calls have been elevating.
Also, VIX has not been panicky.
So, I'll watch for now.

Does anyone know how to look at live ES on TD ameritrade?

Are you asking for the symbol or how to get charts?

The charts, I can't pull them up. Thanks TG

I don't know how to look at them on the website. Think or Swim will display it with '/ES' as TraderGirl said.

I sold my ABX yesterday at 36.71.
In my research on election 2008, I noticed that gold & GDX were not immune to the sell off. But things are different now with all this money printing. If ABX reaches a good price today, maybe around 36.05, would it be a good idea to rebuy ABX, to hold for 4 days ?

The chart for GDXJ is better looking for long trades IMHO.

You can either go to "Trade Architect" and see charts and quotes and live CNBC, heat map, etc.

Or you can download the Thinkorswim platform, which is what I use for charting. Go to "Trading Tools" and click on "thinkorswim" and download the appropriate program for your computer...

A minor variation to consider on the ritholz scenario is for a bounce to take the market back to the rising bottoms trend line (SPX 1393-1398 next week) for a kiss good bye.

[Cobra]

[fehro]

[BananaStand]

So....who's going to be first to call the AAPL bottom?

The newest Market bait to hook the retail crowd is: chop at a more affordable price range. The election sell off is just too contrived. The PTB will proclaim this and that both here and over there to keep the hook set. Maybe a black swan rumor once in a while. Cash is good here, it's a call option whose value is known.

IMO, AAPL is in a sell-the-rip mode
