Opening Comments

Pretty quiet overnight.
The market re-opened about where it closed and went sideways.

We have most everything packed up and removed from the apartment.
Today we ties up some loses ends and head South to visit friends for a couple of days.
Was a little bit of drama with the move, but that is normal.

Will not have internet access for part of the day and will not be able to monitor and manage the trade.

Real Money Trading S&P 500 e-Mini

Holding 2 contracts short at an average price of 2434.625.
Last night I moved my target up from 2423.50 to 2430.00.
I did this because of our moving and will not be able to manage the trade through the day.

In early morning trading the market came down and touched the target but did not get filled then rallied back to retest the 2436 range, went sideways for a bit, then tanked, took out my target,

we are flat with a profit of $457

went down and took out the level where my original target was and kept going.

This is another example of never being right in the market even when you do things that make sense and make money.

Following my original target would have yielded and extra 6.50 points and about $650.
Following the special trade rules I would have taken the trade out on the open of the 27th at 2417.00 for an additional 13 points or $1,300.

Bottom line is we made some money, and have to accept we will never be right even when we are. It is part of the psychology of the business.

Opening Comments Not much movement in the market yesterday, an inside day with an up close. Could not break resistance at the 2494 level. Volume was strong and without price movement can indicate distribution, supply equals demand. If demand starts to dry up then price will decline. Still looking for an opportunity to roll the last 4 September positions into the December contract. Would like to see a pullback before I do that. The market declined again on the open and has continued to edge lower overnight until about an hour before the regular hours open I did not make any changes to our positions yesterday. Deadline is tomorrow for rolling into the December contract. Closing Comments From the regular hours open the market drifted back into yesterdays high and closed about where it opened. Volatility was lower than normal and much lower than the past couple of weeks. Did not make any adjustments to our positions. Real Money Trading S&P 500 e-Mini We are Still ...

Opening Comments Yesterday was another ugly day for us as the market moved another 10 points higher, making new historic highs and putting our short positions further in the red. I did not make any changes to our positions yesterday. Only 2 days left to roll over to the December contract. From the open the market has been drifting lower. This is the first time in a couple days that we have seen any movement lower after the open. We need a good pull back to help us get better positioned to roll into December. A little rally off the overnight low at the European open did not amount to much. The UN passed the resolution on North Korean sanctions, which was immediately blown off by Trump. This may put some uncertainty back into the markets. Sideways at the overnight lows coming into the regular hours open. Closing Comments From the regular hours open the market drifted back into yesterdays high and closed about where it opened. Call it an inside day with an up close. ...
