However, given all the gaps, any downdraft should be short lived (though I won't go against the system and time tells all). ;-)Phat Repathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401209340036026677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-34503905089178042122015-03-03T12:05:07.145-08:002015-03-03T12:05:07.145-08:00put half cash left in this am when s&p hit 210...put half cash left in this am when s&p hit 2100. saved remaining in case of a drop further.<br /><br />liking those 2214 clusters phat :) T.Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984133082818670078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-85089474335274949902015-03-03T07:48:46.699-08:002015-03-03T07:48:46.699-08:00Well, well, well.

And th...Well, well, well. Very interesting... :-)<br /><br />And the system says, "in limbo." I would need to see a move below 2093.55 to enter short or a move above 2128.32 to enter long. Odds are towards short but that gives a target of 1988.60 (clustered and hard for me to believe). To avoid a bearish setup, need to close above 2109.04. The good news, once this move is completed and assuming the bull resumes, I have a target of 2214.33. ;-) Hmmmm...

Also took a straddle on GLD (109 P/121 C) for same expiration as others (17 APR).<br /><br />That being said, yeah, those charts Bicycle puts up are flat out scary.<br /><br />I'm looking to play some long futures if, over the next hour, we can get back down around 2104 to close the gap from this AM. Otherwise, I will sit and wait for an entry per the 'system'.

FXE fell out of bed and the USD is en fuego. Shouldn't last but my APR 17 117 call options are probably not gonna rise from the ashes. ;-)<br /><br />Short term SPX wanting to pull back but no indication of how deep. Following CG's view, could be fairly shallow. I would need to see a move below 2092.46 to short; not likely at this point but late afternoon will show the way.<br /><br />Saw a pundit on Yahoo mention the market wants rates to rise. That's some funny stuff; any appreciable rise and you can kiss it goodbye.
