    I entered initially at 2633 and then averaged in. I exited at 2633 at break even with the first long entry and then made a profit with the other long entries. I shall monitor the price action and want to enter long again at the appropriate level. Profit taking is crucial in this environment

    SPY still below the 8 ema. Still bouncing between levels.
    See if QQQ breaks above 50ma.

    The long entry at 2597 was, of course, the most profitable. But all out, as I said, at 2633.

    Another test of that 2600 level would be nice--if that happens. I want a solid long entry

    I love this 2018 volatility. Not like 2017 at all

    The bears need to close the SPX non above 2620 to create an edge

    Looks like maybe the institutional traders are thinking about next week--or the NFP. Remember, all my price levels are: 1. coming from my personal trading theory; 2. relative--as price changes, the dynamics of where to enter and exit also change; 3. finally, even if I say something more definitive, how to interpret all of that is dependent on A. your time frame and B. your trade management philosophy

    Anybody watching anything that's approaching some support? Got quite a bit of cash on the sidelines looking for more positions and my style is to trade off support for the most part.

    completed my first futures trade - I bought one contracts @ 2,629.5410 and just exited at 2,666.50. My system said to hold over the weekend, but I decided to cash out early. Still holding some QQQ and SPY shares over the weekend.
