Maybe you can see whats keeping me short, something I've been testing, may or may not and I might have to cover, chart showing a negative bias, still holding, D

{quote} Ahh Li, as always, thank you hope all is well with you and your family, as with all on FF, times are challenging in all parts of the world ATM, hope we can get some resolve soon. Decided to dip my toe in, my current sell on the Dow is 23923, indecision changed my long to a short, I had the targets plotted for the long and all hit, only I was short current price, if it breaks down, I have 23350 as a target, was expecting the NFP to quicken the move but the market seems to be digesting the figures, big...
Hope you and your family are well. Hope that Trendline breaks

I would be careful, Ive closed alot of my positions but judging from earnings I could see another dive being in late q2 despite unemployment on es and dow there might be some movement sterotypical offranging given its friday. But just giving my two cents. I could be wrong on this; obviously not as confident or would be in position but yeah earnings from most large cap wasnt as bad as estimates

{quote} I completely agree. A bottom in this correction or a bear market rally seem indistinguishable at this point. Given how quickly all of this has transpired we might have another leg lower or some sideways action before a sustained uptrend resumes. Several months of gains day after day and then a 1 week correction doesn't feel quite right to me.
mid/late q2 2020 if i had to guess, most companies on conference calls are already noting how may and onwards is gonna be. Who knows when exactly we see some red, but I would be careful with short squeezes in these next few weeks, been burnt on a few myself but got most of it back with ironically my least confident positions (when i opened) only with intentions of hedging risk

{quote} Thanks, I'm fine though. My bigger disappointment is probably missing the top of the bull market. I had planned on getting heavily short in advance and that opportunity seems to be gone now. At this point I'm in wait-and-see mode until things become clearer. The room for error is huge right now.
count your blessings, i caught that short but got squeezed for large portion of big returns I got. I dont believe now is the time to make big moves personally, unless you wanted to open a smaller position on weekend gap down which would be well, depending on order perhaps not that risky.

Things have changed on the chart, new condition on the long side, while not guaranteed I may have to cover the short but price seems a little stalled that could be indecision, as I type an new condition short could be forming and needs to print at the end of the 30min candle, will update soon, D
EDIT
Given it's Friday, we may see a good move if the market falls, searching for direction for the time being, that said rising cannot be ruled out either, only my opinion,

Second condition printed, showing a lack of direction, we may see further whipsawing until this finds its feet, D
EDIT
Looks like a long bias on the chart, other conditions haven't confirmed, will be looking for more confirmation,

Seems WTI has spiked up, still holding short with same target, Dow short is near last weeks entry, figuring we may have seen this same reaction and price should the weekend not have stalled things, still holding and same target, D

For now it still rejects the 25,3x area on 4H

Nice one Li, although this could go anywhere, it's been too linear from the negative position, doubled in fact from previous contract, with reinfection looming to halt any possible uptick, there must still be a stockpile with no where to go, while adding all the time, we can only but wait and see, D

expecting some downwards pressure near settlement. For now still on the sideline.

I took the trend line above the highs on the Dow, looks like my entry last week was a little early, got back in early morning, looking for the down pressure to carry.
