i will sell the 137650 with 4 point stop.

is everybody on march break?

thanks..trying again from 88.75 but prefer to see 90.50 print to have a shot at 87.50 test

only small tries up here. Obvious data issues today so like a trapeze without a net and only via laptop.

flat at 89..just too late for me an not gonna get caught short

those small range inside bars on the 5 minute were my clue NOT to hold once we got above them ..that is a volatility contraction...no different then if you see an IR 4 or 7 on a daily chart

Cash keeps advancing and futures is front running it by hitting the bid.. either cash will come along or futures will come along..

Nick..yearly r1 is 1389.75 and 87- 88 area is a natural rat..hence my tries at shorts vwap SD band was too steep to be useful to me up there but it can help when you see 5 minute closes on or just outside of it...


agressive trades in general

Sounds like you were trading from a hammock on a beach.
