Short CAD futures 0.98

keeping stops tight... close > .986's

*EDIT* stopped with a small loss....

Adding 1182

*edit* added again today in the upper 1180's. Full position at 1180 average price. Now that we are fully short, a close above 1190 will take me out.

Added more USD futures long today 77.36 - got the low tick!!

Looking to short the Euro into 1.36 but I can't get a good entry....

*EDIT* I'm out today 1180. +2
No Positions at the moment....

Short ES 1176 and long USD 77.36

These are starters as I think the goofs are still out and want to push. No need to get smashed.

May have to wait until just before the election...

Short 1174 - Full fill

*edit* taking half out here at 1167. Rest moved down to evens plus a tick. Looking for 1130...

Long USD

77.36

*edit* stopped through 77 flat last night... unreal. Probably jack higher now.

Covering 30%

At 1129 for +13.

*edit* stopped out at evens plus a tick on the rest... pretty silly.

Short 1142

Short 1142 (Fri. aft.) with some size at $OEX 518. I think the R:R is good here.

Short NQ 2006

Considering how stupid this market is... stops are tight.

*edit* I"m out... +4. This market takes the cake for stupidity.

Covered NQ short +40 or so...

Can an ETF collapse?

NQ

Short NQ 2019.25 for a trade.

ES

Stopped out at evens plus a tick sometime overnight....

VIX

Continuous into support...

-

1133 overnight resistance from the other day.

Added 1126

This takes me to a full position.

Stops are going to be tight as the profits from my last trade will take me out at evens.

J

Took some 1112's off

.... pays for my stop and any pain that I may have to sit through.

:>)

Also, 2nd image shows the Aug. 10 gap is still in play. SPX opening and staying below 1106 will make things more interesting.

Short 1112.5 and 1121.25

Added size - 1121.25.... low risk.
Average is around 1119.


Dec. contract

Long NQ at 1766 and the ES at 1044

Possible H&S formations here... low risk.

*edit* took some profits in the +5 point range... but, needless to say, stopped at evens on the rest.

My thinking

Looks like we are trading in a range lately. It seems uncertainty does indeed have a range... and 1130 to 1040 looks to be it.

If we go back to July 7 - a day in which the buying was extremely aggressive and a day in which we broke the downtrend of the prior couple of weeks - 1036 is very strong intraday support. I also see 1052 as intraday support too. Just not as strong. Also, 1052 was a good support level for the weeks following - see highlights - and it was the 50% retracement from 1002 to the 1128 high. So, there are a couple of reasons that put the probability in your favour for a long there. I was confident for a long there but took half out on a 5 point breakdown.

Full Fill Long - 1052

*edit* stopped on half...

Long ES

1088 - Through 1084 and I'm gone.

*edit* stopped
