friday ramblings (and Thurs eve / Friday pre-market ES Futures)

351
will watch 10754 ...if it does NOT pull back and sustains,,, need to re-eval lol

350
DOW about 140 points from the 10,754 target max b4 expected pullback

348
buying some more qid swing here... bought at 1839 .LOD why not... have the risk already from 1846 pos

347
selling all GE daytrade except last 10% daytrade piece ---its stuck.... 1865 sold

345
1684 is my min trgt GE

344
i will keep some GE swing.... dow still under 10754 and GE has higher targets.... but keeping small piece, just for fun.... risky... loss will be small if incurred

341
large ports have GE.... grr wish small port had some left but couldnt see risking it... small profit better than loss....

337
meh.... tried for the 2nd breakout... didnt happn for small port.... just got a scalp on small port... maybe $140 profit on last 2500
 
335
small port all shares in GE sold at profit...none left.... larger port has some saved for the close

331
stop 1657 on 2000

328
preparing to reaise stops in ge to take profits...

323
not sure...but i dont think this lil move up in GE is a headfake... charts suggest at least retest the HOD

322
ge doing perfect touch of R line here

320
ge 1555--1558 triangle boundries

318
some ports might take the $97 profit in GE sharesnow

315

313
larger positions would take partial profits at .58 ge .... 2500 shrs stop still 1653,,1642

311
preparing to selll the GE daytrades////

302
2000 shrs ge stop .53 breakeven,,,, 500 shrs top 1641 ... cannot risk losses in smaller ports

259
small port...still long 2500 GE

238
GE bull flag 60min

234
watching for poss qid bull inv HS to form on the 13min chart...no where near there now...just speculation

211
GE is forming a bear diverg 60min chartm,,,,, but looks like more upside before the diverg kicks in

209
have 2500 ge at 1654 small port.... and 1000 qid 1846

202
ge 1562 chart pattern

157
buying 2000 ge 16.52 lim

148
poss ge bull falling wedge 10min chart

130
stop 1653 on 2000 shrs ge for free ride up

122

stop .55 on 2k ge

109
preparing to change 2000 shares GE to stop .55...when it moves up mmore

101
stop orders set 2000 at 1647,,, 2000 at 1648,,, 500 at 1642,,,, will take profits in 2000 shrs increments prob hence those orders..easy to change

1259
among other indicators, i'm trying to trade the RSI ge bull dbl bottom support buy

1254
stop 4000 at 1648,,,, stop 500 at 1642

1253
2000 more GE 1651....stop 1648... small port...total  4500 GE at 16.52 avg.. not risking much $$$$
 
1241
filled on 2000 at 1653 ge for the cond order small port

1240
small port cond order: buy 2000 GE 1653 limit, stop 1650....low risk trade

1232
if the market makers are really mean... they will trap GE shorts trying to cover at 1650 and not let it under 1652....

1220
surprised to still be in qid... came within 3 cents of stop on a 2x etf....

1218
if ge doesnt hold .52 can always buy bak

1218
1650 ge stop on 500shrs


1216
1647 ge stop on 500shrs

1206
wow GE in this one cent range lol... 1659--1660

1159
ge still over .57

1152
DOW now 174 points from my max target of 10,754 since nov,,, then expect pullback.

1151
98% if ge over 1657

1150
crouching tiger GE buyllish...88% if ge over .50

1145
GE 76% bull crouching tiger intraday

1141
3min GE and QID moving in same direction... cmon sell tech, buy GE LOL (wishful hopeful thinking, not a trade strategy) ... :)

1140
charts suggest poss GE test atlll the way to 1645.... scalpers would close GE here,,, all-day daytrades would set stops at 1640

1119
changing stop on QID to 18.47 for all 1000 shares... it will be a loss if taken out... but dont want to stick around for 1839 test.... larger positions could keep the 1847 / 1818 split stops

1116
looks like ge will break HOD on first try...watching...1663 last, one cent away

1115
1673 next ge trgt on way to1683/87 trgt

1114
ge 1660 could work here with tite stop....should break HOD

1112
qid RSI over 43 is ok...for me....last 45

1112
among other things, the QID rsi trendline support is holding....well being tested right now...
60min chart

1111
stops at 1847 and 1817 now for qid

1108
stop 1640 on 500 GE at breakeven if stoppped out

1107
so i will keep posting as if 500 shrs left, in case they r still there LOL

1054
QID swing still looking ok... i see no reason to exit it

1053
larger GE positions still ahve shares, 1000 shrs small pos gone (flat)

1052
i think its gonna chop around a lil here... considering more GE but not yet
 
1049
GE profits about $140 for the 1000 shrs

1048
*correction... the GE WAS stopped out...misread order

1048
qid trgt 1872 test.....last 1866

1047
500 shrs still in at 1847 stop... that spike wick down didnt stop out anythnig

1044
my work suggests GE still has some unfinished biz on upside. 1654 last

1042
still have 500 shrs

1041
500 shrs stopped out for $80 profit

1037
qid testing R here now 1860ish

1036
once again,,, GE is ROCKIN :)

1105
so probably.... small positions still have 500 shrs left
 
1104
GE hit 16.45 which is 2 cents lower than the 16.47 stop,,,, but my order was not hit... but i recorded it as closed because it pierced lower... the wick spikes often do this, since they represent a block order filled.

1034
stop 1656 on 500 shrs

1033
nerfvous GE can take $200 profdit now on 1000shrs

1029
ge 1683 trgt

1028
stop .53 on 500 shrs,,,, stop .47 on 500.....lock in some profits in small pos.... take the $80

1026
ge stop .47 on 1000 shrs
 
1024
scalpers can take $140 ge profit here on 1000 shrs

1023
ge at 1653,,,,,close to 1656 trgt

1019
ge 1656 test expected...last 1645

1018
idea: qid stop 1817 on 500 shrs,,,, 1847 stp on 500

1017
1645 stall here again and chop is ok...

1015
ge 1634 mental stop...want it to hold there else may exit...

1011
bullish GE crouching tiger with ge over 1635.... 94% confid

1010
nervous GE can exit here at breakeven...i'm staying long

1005
1847 stop not 1857 stop on 500 qid...almost hit at 1857

1004
ge 1645 stall expected

1002
idea: 1000 shrs GE 16.40 stop 1610

940
YES.....hmmm qqqq managed 46.18 high... one cent above my target hi,,, thus far

929
watching the GLD 110.39, 109.27, 108.69 supports today

9:23AM
lots of opinions today... for qqqq, my work suggests that they might not get it above yesterdays close (46.17), if they gap down....

Thurs ramblings (and Wednesday eve / Thurs morning pre-market ES )

400
summary: very good trades today. took a nasty loss on nvda but GE and other trades overpowered the loss for a net daily gain.

357
qid has stayed in its coil thus far.... thats good

343
if qid falls tomorrow... "should" find support 18.31ish

339
GE will prob gap down tomorrow or open flat and make a higher hi .... gap up with GE wouldnt be bullish i dont think...

338
so tomorrow---chance to go long qqqq or buy more qid....depends on direction of the break....bearish bias

327
13:11pm at current qid velocity and conditions.....tomorrow is est time of QID breakout from this coil...either up or down... but of course any gap open would change all that

323
charts allow for GE to do 1763,,,,over the 1749ish prior hi

321
qid pushing the 15min stoch down lower....good...fine... no downward prices to accompany it,,,,suggesting pop up /.... 14,3,3 stoch

318
and thinking GE will be one of those to lead the way up, if dow makes it

316
DOW now a meree 159 points from my 10,754 trgt max trgt b4 pullback 14%....target since nov

313
qid.... lower lows in price, higher lows in rsi...bullish too

313
qid 60min: lower price highs but higher rsi highs..... bullish

312
GE looks like it


wants 1671ish...unfinished upside

business... but i'm not holding it

overnite...not worth risk of Friday

reports...last 1632
 
 
309
QID is just bouncing around in the coil....all normal so far

303
spx could see 1134 close... semi shoot star-doji type candle thing if 1134

301
qid back up...nervous qid can exit at small profit here...fro sure i'm staying in

251
YES.  SPX hit 1142... over the 1222pm target of 1141 (1222: crazy... spx 1141? maybe)

246
1653, 1672 GE trgt

231
glad to be out of faz for breakeven...down to 1657 now

228
small port: stop 1857 for 500 shrs,,,stop 1817 for 500 shrs... 1000 qid long at 18.80 avg cost

224
buying 500 qid 1879 limit

218
qid staying in coil, coil has bullish bias for qid (bear qqqq).... close to breakout of coil here... testing the R line

209
I want to see qid close today over 18.78 (preferably over 18.90)

208
stop 1817 for now

206
1881 qid filled 500 shrs for 25k port ...swing

201
lim changed to 1881 so can get fill on 1880 hit

200
25k port: 500 shrs qid lim 18.80
limit buy qid 18.80...for swing... but 1/2 swing positino not full size for now

155
qid in coil with 1880/1886 supp res at this time... waiting longer for qid entery

142
support levels with these 3x instruments are trickier than with 1x like qqqqq spy ....usually use the spy


or qqqq or xlf as triggers instead
 
 
142
faz 1680 holding but barely....close

140
25k ports should have a min $422 profit for today, even if stopped out of faz....

138
the better place for a stop is 1661 but i dont feel like risking more than breakeven for now....so stop on faz stays at 1677.....but 1661 is  a reasonable stop too

137
if faz can hold the .80....a nice intraday bull asc triangle is here for a pop up....see if the support holds

129
faz over 1680 is bullish for a pop...under that...iffy

127
ok on faz, intraday,,,, i have drawn 2 dtl... this is bullish for faz,,,indicates some up...usually the 3rd line designaltes "end of trend".......intraday only for daytrade,,,,,,3min charts


124
intraday the 60min and daily spy allow for more up, BUT the 15mins will rule the outcome.......15min is neutral now,,,imho

112
small ports bettr stop is 1677 risk 2 cents

110
mall ports can sell


1000 faz here for $80 quik profit

scalp
 
110
1697ish faz trgt for now

109

101
sds bull crouch tiger 88% confid... last 33.55

1256
1717 backtest is what i'm looking for... crazy faz was in a DOWN channel... then it broke the downchannel support line LOWER....

1252

1122
stop 1167 on most ge

1121
qid moving up but still not good enough setup for me to reenter it

1119
ge 1573 now... 1579 target next.... then higher...charts allow for higher but prob stall at 1579 if gets there

1115
raising GE stop to 1567 breakeven...free ride... setting stop on a small piece here at 1569 to take some profits and get back loss from nvda.... 1571 last

1112
YES.  ge momen picking up...trying breakout...but ge 1569 should get some more up momentum... last 1565, new HOD

1111
GE showed some good resiliency today... didn't fall at all during decline but rather went higher or held.... it's doing today what i expected yesterd

1105
GE continues to behave...trying to breakout here....
QID -- i have not re-entered yet. my work suggests some chop and a possible trip back to 1861 or lower

1049
nvda stop 1847 raised....in case of crazy move down.... still holding for higher

1047
qid now below entry....least took small profit in it
 
1044
out of qid per stop... toook small profit will look to re-enter

1037
qid stop 1873 to lock at least small profit

1036
preparing to take some profits in qid and re-enter,,,,

1033
my NVDA long daytrade mess is crawling back higher...looking for exit point.... will prob take loss here,,, just waiting for the exit signal setyp

1032
GE target is 15.79.....

1029
GE looks ready to breakout above high.,,,,not risking much

1028
in GE long 15.56, stop 15.45

1027
long GE lim 1555 if filled...daytrade

1021
QID trgt 1904..may hold longer or take profits theere for re-entry,,,unsure

1004
stop 1833 on nvda...mess...grr

1001
grr nvda not good...down...1837 stop

1000
nvda stop 1837

951
new QID swing from yest up 0.48% now, not a bad start

950
nvda....looking to hold support at 1862.... its trendline support and gap supp

943
in nvda llongg 1877

940
will try long nvda 1877 lim buy if filled .. daytrade not swing overnite

928
spx targets if down... 1134,  1131, 1114, 1097, 1093 ... 1130 would likely give a bounce up to a lower hi before further declines

843
ES 1130 is holding as R thus far... breakout support converted to Resistance

815
will be interesting
to see if any reaction after 830 report
in 15min

7:54
ES futures are down some, 4 point down. They broke below 1130 to a low of 1127. Have been in a downtrend for the entire overnight session.

Under 1130 would be bearish since 1130 is both a prior breakout point.

Wedn ramblings (and Tues eve ES futures)

7:19 PM
SUMMARY:
Green day. took a loss on the PG, all other trades were green. Most expectations were met thru the day. See yellow highlights below for details.



403
qqqq closed at 46.14, below the yest low of 46.16 as hoped for,,, tho under 46.08 was preferable .. bearish close, among other bear indicators

353
i have swing short signal in the qqqq with 96% confidence

341
a qqqq close today under 46.14 would strengthen the case for short qqqq ... last 46.24

333
sold GE at breakeven not profit

321
i will sell GE today for a small profit... still think trade has merit, but I do not want to keep it this Thurs n Friday. So goodbye GE... will sell b4 close today.... can always buy back

327
i CANCELLED my SDS buy order limit.... using the QID instead for now

320
buying QID.... for swing and daytrade both.... i like QID more than sds... in qid 18.63

305
most qld stopped out...small 25% left for the close

301
qqqq broke the UTL support to downside and are now backtesting it...60min

257
GE stop raised to 15.47 .....

251
charts suggest qld should pop up again but idk if my stop at .71 will survive....

245
missed my sds limit to buy fill by 8 cents so far...unfilled

238
60.91 stop qld on most

234
taking some qld off here for 1% profit in 30min

233
stop .73

232
stop .63 for a piece of qld to lock some profits

229
qld stall .77 if it gets there

225
still in qld....stop survived by 3 cents

213
qld stop raised to 6037 for breakevenish

211
QLD has a minor bulll diverg so i'm trading that.... trade premise still valid

152
going in QLD for scalp at 6037 here

149
2 cents from stop...will prob be stopped out for profit.............1876 or 1864 nvda might want

147
nvda survivede another hit to 1880 and held...so far....stops remain at 1878 on all except last 25%

133
small positions can sell 2000 shrs nvda here for $320 daytrade profit... i would take that or at least half

132
this GE is tricky... the 60min could be forming a bear desc triangle...but i remain long

128
1878 stop for a piece of nvda... if 1880 doesnt survie the next hit i want profits

125
if GE gets to 1860 i would expect stall....needs to break 1864 and sustain to get any real upside

119
what would be nice.... NVDA makes a new high and forms a bear diverg on the 60min....will take profits there... the bear diverg is not formed....looking

113
NVDA has poss bull asc triangle forming with poss break higher on thurs....but not sure i will hold any nvda as swing.... will eval

1259
nvda continues to crawl higher

1257
dow about 180 points from my upside trgt max b4  drop. 10,754 been target since Oct. with 14% pullback to start.
 
1255
GE continues to burn off overbought with little price movement down... on the 15 n 60m

1253
nvda at prior Boll band of 1888 njow...

1252
grr....PG back to breakeven....but i took the small loss b4.... cuz i couldnt risk a break of LOD....

1244
GE 3min has poss dbl top....would break down to 15.40ish... but i remain long... nervous could exit here at small profit in GE

1242
i will keep 25% of nvda with lower stop, below the 18.74 stop on the rest of it

1242
nvda "should" go for 1896....last 1881... but anything can happn here.... it is hovering at HOD

1238
nervous NVDA would take profits here at the High of day

1233
BELOW BELOW the mkt...buy SDS 33.42 if filled... not sure i will get a fill... prob not... but there in case of a nice spike

1227
GE over 1549 would be good...under that I start to eval poss exit from it

1223
GE 1547 is impt support #...stop at 1538 for now

1218
the nvda stop is tite to assure profits....can always buy back these daytrade thingies

1217
just waiting for short for rite opp... if we get a shoot star  today in spx i will short into that....
 
1210
GE daily chart-- bull pennant

1206
see if 1877 R is converted to support since it broke over it...thus far holding as support now

1205
NVDA bull flag 10min

1155
GE in bull pennant 60min

1152
*1874 not 1877

1151
stops raised to 1877 on 50% of NVDA...last 1881

1149
small NVDA positions could sell now for $220 profit (2000 shrs)

1141
NVDA hit the 1877 target...holding for higher

1140
GE testing resistance now at .57....see if holds down or breaks higher...charts suggest break higher

1136
raising PG stop to 60.62 .... trade premise is breaking....

1133
GE NVDA both up,,,, PG down (messy)

1121
PG close to breaking above its inv HS bullish

1119
NVDA hit .71.... .77 trgt next

1115
PG inv HS 3min forming

1113
nervous PG could exit now at breakeven....i will stay long

1058
NVDA rite at 3min R here... if breaks it then should get nice lil pop...1870 last

1056
long NVDA also now 18.66

1044
long PG 60.80 stop 60.40

1037
out of sso...small profit

1035
if .67 breaks will prob see .63 or lower

1032
since the 39.84 peak, sso has formed mini 3min down channel.... watching to see what happens.... 15 and 60min charts still say more up poss so staying in the sso at breakeven stop ... conflicting signals

1027
sso pierced above its wedge on tues and today with wicks..... may need to redraw the R line higher... leaving lower for now, excluding the wicks... but poss CHANNEL could form, wrecking the bear wedge... tho i do not see that happening based on other indicators, but poss

1023
as mentioned many times... these bear wedges have a nasty habit of breaking to upside before the bear down manisfestation is realized

1022
spx 60min rsi pushing up against resist...testing it... watching to see if it breaks higher (among other signals).  still pushing on the wedge R line in spx

1018
spx trying to push out the upper boll band from flat to up...15min... has not done thus far

1017
taking some scalp profits here at .80....holding most of sso for higher. in this whipsaw need to take some scalp profits

1014
stop 39.67

1012
sso stop raised to 39.71 from 39.00..... free ride, no risk trade, stop over cost

1009
spx is pushing on the wedge R line now... see if holds down or breaks higher

1005
yes. there is the new spx daily high i called for a few minutes ago.

1004
spx has an 88% confidence bull crouch tiger... suggest chop with upward bias

1001
charts suggest SPY will make a higher intraday hi today

1000
it is very very choppy out here now... wide stops required... my work suggests SPX has a move down coming, but that chop with upside bias will come first. hence my long daytrade in spx via sso

956
filled on sso .67.... cancelled .60 order for now

954
sso 39.67 buy limit if filled... posiotino one of 4 possible...chop today requires scaling in daytrades


953
sso 39.60 buy limit if filled

944
GE stop raised to 15.38, a lil below cost

942
see if SRS holds 7.38.... hit 7.42 n bounced up

939
GE targets 1570, 1591 for now...maybe higher later.... last 15.60

932
IF GE can hold 15.55 that would be bullish,,, can go lower but 1555 would be great

930
right now, GE opened according to the trade premise... still swing long GE

9:20
srs is interesting... depending on whether you include wicks or not in the DTL, srs either successfully backtested and held, or has some more work either down or consolodating. Looks like at least some consolod is coming, so I'm waiting on the sideline for re-entry to srs

9:18
 vxx is what i am looking at today again... had some, took profits few days back... yes want to re-enter.... also looking at SRS at this minute... not sure if srs ready yet for swing, close, evaluating now

8:22
Bulls will want to hold ES 1125 support. Micro-support (coil support trendline) is at 1127.50 now, coil R is at 1130. A break of either could cause a breakout in the direction of the break, although it is still pre-market and this small coil likely will not have any dramatic effects

8:20
ES is now in a small coil pre-market.... updates to follow in a few minutes

349
out of spy short...took the loss

347
currently red down about 0.4 % in spy or 1.2% down in 3x

340
113.29 mental stop spy

336
now if 113.17ish hold i will look to cover shorts...waiting to see if breaks lower...

332
113.04 target on spy if broken

331
needs to break neckline tho...has not

330
yes. as expected....intraday dbl top forming in 2min SPY... because of failed 3rd atttempt at hi...

323
i might keep a small swing short spy overnight...

310
third drive to a high here in spx... spy newr hod at .36

258
113.26 wick was 120,000 shares

258

226
sds target 34.19...to start...last 34

224
spy at 60min support here at 113.20... testing...

221
yes. xlf breaking....marginal at .64.... 1456 and 1449 next xlf

220
short still good with spy under .26,,,to me

219
almost. 2 cents. SPY missed the .15 downside target by 2 cents at .17 and bounced... now at .22....

218
xlf 14.65 support holding but taking many hits against it.... xlf needs to go down in order for spy to go down

212
the 60min spy has now formed a new bear rising wedge, but there is plenty of room both up and down in it... early wedge... could see some volatility in coming days

211
looking for spy to stay under 113.26 for the short. last 113.22

209
xlf testing .65 again here support...not filledon .68 short

206
i did not add the fourth short in spy since it did not hit the upside target to add more. short 3 positinos now

205
i will add to skf at the mkt... if xlf hit 14.68;..... mid term hold

202
yes. xlf held exactly at 14.65 target... see if it holds or breaks

154
currently evaluating whether to cover spy shorts...not covering yet...watching reactions here

153
spy .26 target supp broke... spy trgt no 113.15

152
yes. sds hit fitrst target of 34 and backed off

151
spy close to testing the 113.26 now

xlf support to hold/break is 1465 and 1448 .. last 1467

143
xlf is now pushing down on the dtl support line, suggesting a steeper decline to follow if broekn and sustained

142
xlf 15min is in small intraday down channel

138
113.51 or 113.15 initial upside/downside targets. the 113.51 target is close to the prev target today of 113.57

137
spy has been in rectangle 113.27 and 113.39 since noon. watching to see if rect breaks higher or lower

128
testing high of day here now

103
sds 34 first test of R if it gets there

101
sds last 32.90.... LOD 32.85

100
its an "early entry" daytrade short sig

1259
SDS now has 89% confid crouching tiger (bear spx,,short spy) ... needs to hold 32.88 for reversal

1247
Spy UTL resist at around 113.57 (daily chart). last 113.33

1240
12:38 post--as suggested by 84% confidence bull crouching tiger spy

1238
spy looks like it wants to test HOD or perhaps make a slight higher hi here ... 113.29 last

1237
spx trying to move higher, but financials xlf not moving up

1222
one of my xlf down trendlines has these highs....15.40,,,15.13,,, 14.94

1212
so far, spy broke that #1 UTL and is backtesting it...intraday UTL

1210
spy intraday broke below its #1 steep UTL...may require redraw of 2nd UTL .. another indication of weakening momen, but could still see higher. usually 3 trendline re-draws are done b4 a reversal

1207
the xlf 14.71 is also close to the daily, 60, and 15min boll bands....

1206
so far...xlf 14.71 resist has held... see if it breaks higher on next try...

1201
XLF is right at a near perfect touch of one of its Daily DTL... testing it... 14.71

1153
tho, in SPY... today i expected high of 113.12,,,, it went higher to 113.39 so far.... was wrong on that # ... but still looks like pullback coming

1151
113.72 spy stop for now.... will lower later, or will exit at loss even before 113.72 if trade becomes un-merited.. for now, i still see weakness building despite the surge... so i am stayihg short for nowso i am stayihg short for now


1117
spy marginal violation under the micro support line at 113.16... see if it stays under .16 for test of .03

1106
113.03 spy is 3min upchannel support

1105
charts suggest test of 113.03 spy support...last 113.15...see if .03 holds,,,, bear diverg intraday forming

1045
ES testing 1127.... see if it can break higher....

1037
spy 113.12 short... #3 of 4

1031
113.17 spy resist... see if it hurdles that.. or ES 1129 actually...

1029
ES prior hi 1129...last 1126.50

1028
yes. hit the 113.03 target.... spy hit the 113.03 target.... hod 113.04 so far.... reaction up here is key....

1025
if a new high is made then a bear diverg will set up and i will add to shorts "up there"... for position 3 of 4

1023
3min pennant resistance at .92....last .90

1022
3min bull pennant in spy... but other chart signals suggest it will fail and break to downside...

1018
spy 15min trendline up support at 112.81... see if that holds,,,, that needs to break lower to get any more downside

1017
the spy bull flag is malformed, intraday, to me...will convert to bear wedge

1016
mini intraday bear rising wedge forming in spy...could see higher, but momen weakening now... last 112.92

1007
filled 2 of 4 daytrade short spy....2 more daytrade short positions left if merited....

1006
added 2nd spy short 112.87...filled

1005
missed the fill... 112.87 short lim if filled

1004
adding second spy short 112.92 lim if filled...

1000
yes. spy moving up as expected...still waiting to add short..not yet

956
i am expecting spy to pop up one more time this morn, then i will add second piece of short spy position if it does... last 112.79

946
112.81 yest high breached....last 112.93... 113.02 next spy trgt

941
spy 112.81 nextr

939
spy sustain over 112.71 implies 113.02 next..last 112.64

936
shorted spy 112.57...daydtrade.. position 1 of poss 4 in SPY short...

934
condidering short SPY 112.61. last 112.45
