So busy selling my shorts--couldn't even think about longs. Scottrade hung up so had one helluva time getting out of sds. Man, this is like the old days. Way to GO!!! Novi!!! So don't you think its time you changed yer name? You put me to shame I know THAT fer sure. No way, Jack. I held some of those since July; all small positions, have lost all confidence...made the most from uvxy obviously, the least from sds (paid too much). Still, it'll buy some Christmas presents. Doesn't by any means make up for my long term accounts. STILL. I was prepared this morning to get out thanks to our friend HUH!!!

I have orders still set way at the bottom and I can't even cancel them. TDA is hosed. Sold a chunk of the UPRO though for a nice scalp. Here we go again. Can't sell the rest of my UPRO. TDA hosed.

Continental's about to go green after being caught up in the plunge its dead even now on not so much trading. Yay! YUp its now green taking advantage of the fear trade I guess - perhaps this strategy of being overweighted in goldminers has some advantages afterall. Who doesn't want a Rolex "Presidential" I ASK YOU? You KNOW Joe Biden does and Trump? If He gets in everything in the WhiteHouse is going be sent out to get gold-plated!!! Bwahahahahaaa!

Ok, i'm out. Nice gains on UPRO. Want to hold but do not trust stops - physical or mental - at all. It's taking forever for these orders to fill. Not a good thing on a 3x like UPRO.

Using limits would have only put me at the bottom of the list & perhaps caused the trade to go unfilled.

Also CNL.TO to hold that 3.00 support. You should be good until one of those occur IMO. Ideally this will rise now even if gold were to pull back.

You didn't want to risk holding for a higher high in SPX? I got in early and had multiple buys at the open that didn't fill (except for one). So I didn't have the greatest avg price. That coupled with the fact that whatever I wanted to do at a certain point in time was not executing until 5-10 minutes later scared me. I feared that if this thing turned back down to test the lows I wouldn't be able to stop out (physically or mentally) and because of the avg price would have been back under water real quick. If I was in something LT like AAPL, I would have just held. But the plan was UPRO for a big scalp at the open.

Decent short set-up opportunity right here for MU (~17.20) If followed, take gains ~14.00-14.30 for 16-18% gains & wait for next action Even through all this chaos and carnage, MU up ~6+% since Friday's open. Goes to show that charts do work and this isn't "algos confused"; and the only panic is with the retail traders.

IF we get a dead cat bounce this week, may reshort. Congrats everyone. I'm willing to bet most people we know have no clue that the market was -over 1000 this morning. That's the plan.

With the 1892 low in ES this morning, ES has now hit 242 points off the 2134 high or 11.4%. The majority of this came in 3 sessions. No back test of all those H&S patterns, just straight down. 303 point drop now or 14.2% ~267 point drop in SPX or ~12.5%

I'd wait for confirmation, seriously. A bounce could take S&P straight to new highs by mid Sep (Swoop and Scoop) JMO
