If the other PC is working fine, then make sure your primary pc is not compromised in some way and that your credentials/accounts/passwords are safe. I might be paranoid, but well worth checking.

Perhaps you're behind a vpn ? this seems a service like cloudflare that does not like you or where you post from.

Ouch, seems one of those nasty days and no bottom. Stay strong Brixen!

Hi Brixen, just passing by to ask how are you doing? I'm curious on how the works are proceeding in your blue-collar job. Maybe you can post a picture or two I've been posting a lot less here. There has not been a lot to report as the daily yo-yo ...

I probably owe you an apology. Yesterday, when I wrote those words I had a short position just above 14K while the price was breaking up from the small consolidation resistance above 14060-65. I was a bit dramatic anticipating a slow and steady ...

Thanks Islander for caring and for your chart. Same view here.

Thank you Brixen for the kind words. I'm quite well, actually, and far from being distressed. I know the mkt can be rough at times so no worries for me. I feel only a little tired as I've been forced to work harder than usual to keep my baseline ...

Let's consider myself lucky. The gap from yesterday close and my short @200 were covered. I'll keep going like this for the time being. Couter-trade as long as I can. At some point somthing has to give .

Amost 3995 on ES is huge. Will they retrace then go up in the afternoon? As you say, let's see. My pains are growing

I'm trying to anticipate the next move, always. Unfotunately, as that other quote says, mkt can stay foolish more than I can stay solvent. I guess today will be a small bloodbath for me. I'll have to wait for the squeeze at the open to purge before ...

.5 would be the natural, then .25 after and pause. However, this would be obvious, hence it could not happen.

Yes, this is why it's better to be light or out in front of these reports. I got lucky this time, but could've been a massacre. I reshorted again at 14020.

Itching to sell some here. But I'm afraid about the short squeeze on the open with all the shorts that will have to cover. Perhaps I'll wait the first 5-10 minutes.

Really. All algo loaded on the same side.

710-720 should hold. Perhaps a small spike above to catch some BO longs. I too have a 705 short in place.

We're in a somewhat narrow range for the time being, between 580 and 720 (140-150pts). Let me see if I can keep my 690 average position short for now or if I'll have to work even more. But long or short, it does not matter. It's always buy low and ...

Oh, that's easy. It's because I've been shorting it for the last 3 weeks. But, seriously. Many things. October strong seasonal + mid term elections in the US always have a run-up. Republicans will probably win or increase their stake in both the ...

250 points daily range. Not remarcable actually. It's a sore stick up because it's one directional since this morning.

levels worked perfectly in the morning. Good call

Perhaps it depends on what the final result must be. If they have to buy, they drop prices in advance. When selling, they pump in advance. I.e. they need to make room and bait some fish so there's enough catch.
