{quote} interesting point SD, where do you get these commentaries?
To be honest, I found that one on options, out of boredom... waiting for trade. Under "SPX - News" there is always bunch of news, opinions, etc, on my platform (IB). So I suspect this one is also from there, I took that from Twitter. Option expiration weeks like this one is usually bullish. All of that don't need to mean much, though.

DAX
Didn't realised that today top on DAX was a cash gap fill. Like we had recently. Maybe the lower one will be filled also.

DAX almost covered the Y RTH Close @ 11.772
Yep, just 2-3 points shy. Still, maybe another attempt lower to cover that, and cash close is a few points bellow.
The feeling when you have an order @ 773, and mofo stops at 774
penny wise, pound foolish

What happened there?

Idk, but I am happy that my long was protected. I wasn't filled at first but entered later. On +15pts, which was +1R for me, I put SL @ b/e. I am usually wrong when I do that, but not this time.
