Bot ES 2887
Short ZB 160'20

Expecting strong bounce on the opening. Lets see how high ES can go, either it will be weak and then 2900 is done, or bulls will have a chance

In case you're wondering, this move is similar to 2015 aug crash following China currency devaluation.
It's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile is the man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat 😃

Was thinking the same...holding longs, bought NQ 7538

Edit: Bailed 2873 (-15), 7502 (-36). VIX not budging yet, could go lower
Edit2: Higher low?

Weak bounce so far. We could go to some extreme level before a real bounce would happen.

I am going to take my day off

What a day. I am on the road today and couldnt trade, sold puts way too early.
-40 andI was fine, but -100 got me in trouble.
Seeing how markets sold off after hours, wonder what would happen tomorrow. Usually, they go down 3 days in a row, then reverse hard.

Do we see 2750 tomorrow? I will need to hedge...

Bonds out of control.

My goodness... look at that after hours... I said it was gonna go to some extreme level but this is already beyond my initial extreme estimate.

I want to buy the dip.... no wait can I still call this a dip...

Gold approaching 1500.... wow I guess judging by what's happening around the world, it's about time for PM to shoot up. It's been a long time since 2013.

Good morning!
ES hit 2888 resistance overnight, gave up too quickly on my longs yesterday...
If we're going to get another leg down this is the place, bears need to take out ONL for starters
A close above 2890 targets 2940

Metals are looking frothy here, imo sentiment is too bullish now, looking for a short entry in GC, SI

Long CL 53.20, half size

Edit: Short SI 16.975. Added CL 52.74
Edit2: Long ES 2853.5
Edit3: Stop set to 2853. Stop run under ONL or something more?
Edit4: Stopped out of CL 52.60 (-0.45). Will wait for the report
Edit5: Held 0.618 retracement, bought ES 2830. NQ 7425
Edit6: Stops set to 2834, 7430
Edit7: OUT ES 2859 (+29), NQ 7507 (+82) Finally a winner :)
Edit8: Long CL 51.42, stop LOD
