weaker finan may make any intraday rally in spx diffucult

953
XLF financials today has resumed its position of "weaker than spx", down 1.3% vs 0.4%. i'm still swing short xlf and spx (skf and sds)

DOW 10,600 and 10,000 still possible

132
swing short here spx 1202 still looks valid,from prior entry here

1245
SPY and SPX can still go higher, maybe even another 5points or so, but this is in the short range IMO

1245
SPY hit the 120.70 target. Now swing short spx via sds

1036
interested in BA long swing but not here, only on an spx pb where BA holds strong, but BA did gap over 60min rsist today, unlike spx which is still under resist

1007
for swing, will short spx at SPY 120.70 if filled (using SDS long if SPY hits 120.70)

958
out of T for now 2933, from 2859 for 2.6% profit, 2 day hold

956
2933 stop on T

934
stop 2923 on T

930
I will sell T at 29.97 limit to take profits if filled, may sell lower depending on opening action

Friday thoughts

1172.75

1171.75,,,stop

1171.25

340
*1170.75

340
1169.75 stop

339
1169 stop

337
stop 1167.75 on the last long scalp, for "almost" free ride up if able (.50 point risk)

332
in 116825 close enough

330
lim long scalp 1168 es, stop 1163.75 if filled

327
out of es scalp short,,may reverse scalp long on ES break over 1169/71

315
for swing, will still keep the T long and XLF short (SKF)

315
1171.25 stop on other half of ES scalp to protect profit

308
ES down 7 points from aapl trigger, scalpers would take the 7 point profit on half and look to reshort again if able

302
that is, spx 1177, es 1175, xlf 1278

301
AAPL is now in the "short spx or xlf" zone mentioned before

1253
i'm hedged now long/short: swing long in T ,,,short finan via SKF,, actually theres enough volatility to where they should both turn a profit

1250
in SKF long at 77.35 , XLF below market 12.73 target was hit

1247
BELOW the market, I will go long SKF 2x if XLF hits 12.73, last 12.76, SWING, to re-enter at a better price the short i exited yesterday

1136
an SPX or XLF short, at AAPL 384 could work,,,much of this move up is from aapl, up 2% today,,381 last aapl

1129
stall at 1178 spx and reverse lower, would give lower high on 60min, will watch reactions to see if reverses lower, or goes for 1190/1210

1128
XLF short may present an opp then also

1127
SPX 1178 may be shortable, swing,, watching reaction if it gets there, 1167 last

1015
Still looking for entry to swing reshort financials, no re-entry yet,

10:14
Went LONG in T at 28.55, for swing, multi days/weeks hold

Thurs thoughts

Afterhours, I'm taking a small loss on the FAZ here, i still see higher FAZ and lower XLF but think a better entry will present. Given high volatility and over 10% FAZ range today, I'll step aside. FAZ is up higher afterhours but still under my entry point.

346
stop 1158.25 on remaining half into close

344
holding other half at breakeven, for poss panic sell into close

343
covering half for profit here 1154.50 from 1161.75

342
1156 stop on half

337
1158.25 stop on half

336
stop 1159.50 on half

335
es 1154, 1144,1126 trgts

331
watching es 1159 to hold or break, holding shorts thru this (chris)

327
in spx short at ES 1161.75

325
BELOW the market short if 1162 breaks could work also, last ES 1164

301
It may be prudent to exit the xlf short / faz long today near the close, watching reactions. The XLF went "higher" than i expected today,,,so may exit and re-eval entry later. Given wild volatility and swings.

1239
Interim Target: If XLF hits 12.17 then I will sell the FAZ (FAZ may be around 72.10 at that point) and then re-enter after XLF bounces. Last XLF / FAZ  12.57 / 62.18

1050 am
Swing FAZ first target is 80.87 from 62.80ish entry. DOW 10600 and 10,000 targets. Lower lows.
