{quote} ok my friend, this is exactly the post i don´t like here: please see post #1. not that you don´t have several posts i like, but this is a no-go.
No worries, market was moving quick and didn’t have time to detail my first entry while working. Closed the 29074 for good profit at 29170 region, wary of market.

re-entered Nasdaq 9597

Sitting in a lot of drawdown on the other positions. Not overly concerned as market still looks healthy but wondering what’s cause the volatility.

No key levels were broken.

Wouldnt be in any drawdown if I took my advice in my earlier posts about bearish mid ranges and waiting for bottoms LOL

Where’d you get that data from?

adv/Dec stocks still in positive, no major negative news in the market.

Wonder if it was a perceived reaction to Turkey asking for US military help and the South Korean quarantine. Either way, doesn’t seem like a bloodbath is imminent.

Market moves big time with big buyers and big sellers, news is just the excuse that media uses.
PA, order flow, volumes, the rest is (at least for me) a waste of time and energy in conjectures.
I had the info on W&R too late, but low volumes at open smelled fishy anyway

Where are you getting the data?

I sort of saw the conversation above but didn’t have time to read.

BIG positions don’t wait to flip & sell, they have the foresight to sell, once it goes it goes, we all know how quickly this thing can drop.

same as last time people will be Uber bullish until it’s so obvious it’s already made half its move & even then no doubt be plenty trying to catch the knife.

agree delta expecting a big pump up in last hour or so, almost considered covering.

Hmm, not strictly true.

After all the recent crashes short selling restrictions have become a lot tighter. You’ve got to fill out forms, advise the regulator and get approvals to take big shorts.

There’s loads of protected stocks that basically can’t go down. Retail traders don’t appreciate that it’s actually quite difficult to short stocks with big volume. Not the same the other way round. Wanna know why equities is better on the upside? That’s the secret recipe.

Market manipulation/leaving a footprint is something the big players have to be very careful about.

So when I see a market slide 2% (NASDAQ) in a matter of minutes I wonder what’s to follow.

The circuit breakers go on at 10%

With that said, seems like just a technical move to me as it stopped after 2 standard deviations.

Yes. Hence they arnt going to do it late, foresight is needed & I was referring to selling stocks, as well as short selling.

i also appreciate why it’s weighted towards the long side and don’t need patronising.

hence I don’t go short often but corrections still happen.
