I'll start it off. I'm still trying to figure out how to be useful in my posting and not post hundreds of times per week. I can't seem to not get carried away. (That's why I never post in the early AM session, where it takes more concentration.) Then I burn myself out, and use up my precious resources that I should be reserving for my health issues. And I'm only posting a fraction of what I'm seeing... It just drives me nuts to see all this and not try to post it. I do have to come up with a solution.

73.75. Yawn.

So, first stop would be 74-76 area, but that seems pretty conservative.

So, they push it up to 74.25, and just as cash is about to close they pile drive it. Just monkey-hammer it. See? Games. They did nothing with it all day, then as the close approaches they figure they might as well screw as many people as they can, so they run it up to a new HOD, the exact level I posted hours before. Why that level? How did I know? Let me tell you right now, it isn't magic. If the market is random, why did it go right to my level?

Yes, I wanted down real bad, but I knew even if I goaded it, it wouldn't appease me. It would gun those stops above. And yes, I thought that level was very conservative, as I know it wants the contract high and the SPY/S&P index intraday highs, but in due time. Got to leave something for the Sunday night run up, and the 'almost always up' Tuesday.

Anyway, once they get those stops, they dump all those waiting for a continued burst up into the after cash, and those that got on board once they saw the decision was made, they don't get squat. Look at where that point is, once you knew. Look where they dropped it to. All that gone, and then some. They screwed both sides. Same old, same old. Nothing day, just over twenty minutes left, let's bank a little coin from the suckers. Remember that old poker saying 'If, after a half hour at the table, you don't know who the sucker is, it's you.'

my daughter the dr says YES THIS really is the way it is
