I closed out, can see Friday being a bloodbath due to investor fears. Not ideal but not the end of the world either.

Looking bullish actually. Hmm shouldn’t have closed out but I thought that would be a major risk off moment.

Yeah, market brushed off the news. Glad you held, bit annoyed for myself.

I thought major risk off would ensue.

Had my SL at BE, triggered.

Volume still says bullish so will wait out this pullback. Wouldn’t mind a bloodbath, though!

that thing is ready to plummet like an overripe banana, yet it doesn't!! all my short BE since open taken back on these massive retraces. Not a day for my I guess, I should take the clue and wrap up the week

Volume just changed to bearish. Might be a bloodbath by end of day.

Closed out for a small loss, not going to play a whipsawing market.

Dont close out if you’re at BE - ride it. This could absolutely plummet by end of day based on current data.

I generally don’t short because equities markets are engineered against that. If the Fed see the market tanking again, they could put hundreds of billions back in instantly.

Although it should be a bloodbath, nobody would bat an eyelid and raise a question if this finished 2% up.

For what it’s worth; different measures of data aren’t congruent with one another today which may explain whipsawing. Volume has flicked from positive to negative, put ratio is up 5%, yet the Vix is down 5%. Bonds are down yet stocks are down too.

PA has held and bounced up of the Previous Session Close, that usually is an indication for a move up.
As to where the session will finish? its Friday, and all is possible.
During the session there was a good scenario to go for the gap close, then I scalped around the previous session close and the round 500 number.
Flat atm, have to concentrate on family for a while. Will become grandfather soon! (yes I am in that well deserved age bracket)
Good weekend to all!
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

I meant I was entering short a few times (3 or 4, will see at end of day analysis) closing 1/2 position after expected move and moving the rest to BE+ something, but all moved back 70-95% retrace (on the short order flow I was looking at) and so my BE+ SL been taken out. Usually that's a clue that I am not fully in tune with the market of the day hence wrapping up as in general if continue to trade in such market this source of large give back to market (which means just looking at it until my normal end time to exercize my patience, then will do my analysis and turn off all screens)
But agreed it can still go down hard... can also go up hard... so end of active trading day for me

being Friday is also a big part of my reason to wrap up... hate to finish the week on a bad note... makes me grumpy for the week-end

Yeah... don’t disagree, hence why I went long a few times earlier. Then underlying data screamed bearish and I got out. It has since whipsawed.

Something doesn’t make sense.

I am not anticipating a big drop, but last time I advised everyone a few weeks in advance that data wasn’t stacking up, and myself went long, the initial Corona drop occurred.

Perhaps it’s just investor confusion leading to whipsawing price and skewed data.

You have done well!
Acknowledging that one is out of sync with the market is already good achievement.
My biggest losses have been when I convinced myself that I have been in sync with market, especially on intraday.
If possible I prefer not to have a bias, than have a faulty one.
I find that for scalping, especially for scalping, having bias is too stressful, I just trade the simple strategy, just allow the strategy to be utilized.
Good weekend to you.
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!
