227
i'm switching to faz not sds for next short entry if i make one
210
bull inv hs in 3min VIX, bearish for spx
202
we could see a vertical 5-7 point drop from the parabolic setups if they play out
200
15min parabolic sell signals in the spx, with limited downside first try tho
159
should retest LOD in spx
157
3min boll bands being stretched in spx,,,bearish,,, this is same setup that went for a successful trade earlier today
155
i have an "exit long day" setup signal warning now, 80% confirmed
154
133t also has the bear M
153
asc triangle destroyed in spx
153
1min bear M in the spx,, bullish W from earlier in 3min destroyed
152
financials being sold finally here
151
at Support here in the 3min spx, needs to break lower, should breka lower
140
watching for possible bull W in 3min spx, still short
1:35
in sds 2995
1:32
i will limit buy sds 29.93 if able
0114
cancelling buy sso for now, was not filled
0109
sso limit 43.17 if able, last 43.22
1238
filled on 30.03 sds
1236
*30.03
1235
sds 30.01 stop 29.,95 is low risk here, adding more if able at 3001
1209
close...missed by 3 cents being stopped out,,, still in
1207
*2995 stop
1206
stop 75% remaining shares in sds at 29.96 to lock profits, will keep the last 25% at breakeven stop lower around .64
1159
selling a piece here,,,1.5% profit
1158
ES target 1181, last 1182.50
1156
vix target 1968, last 1917
1156
vix is moving higher here again,, ahead of the spx going lower....
1155
taking 1% profits here in sds on 25% of shares
1154
15min sell setups still in place, 60min sell setups forming but immature still
1152
we should stall here,,,if not, spx very weak at 1187
1151
sds target of 30.00 hit here,,,not selling yet,,,
1148
spx at support now,,,this one is kinda impt....1188
1143
charts suggest spx break lower now, then form bull diverg n bounce up, spx 1189.50 last
1140
likely to test friday low now in spx
1129
i'm staying short via sds still at 2985, cost 2964, stop 2964, taking profits here on half of shares if it starts to move down,, 0.75%
1121
looking for es to hold 1188 R
1105
breaking higer, next target is HOD .91
1104
if sds doesnt break higher here 2977 i will prob exit 50% shares
1103
es spx held support but 3min charts bearish, sell setups on 15min,,,so staying long to see what happens, can always exit near breakeven or small loss/pr
1057
as expected, sds breaking higher...see if it holds....
1055
usually when it pushes the boll band like that it will retreat, then break higher
1054
the sds is stretching the 3min boll bands here at R,,,,could break higher,,, lower spx warning on my sys
1038
mini sell programs here es 1188
1037
watching to see if 2974 stalls sds,,whether it can break over it,, if not i will likely take lil profit and reenter
1029
sds llooks ready to break higher so paid lil more
1027
in sds 29.60, paid premium
1023
i'll buy sds 2956 if able, short term
1020
stopped out of half sso ,,, took profits,,,will reenter later
1017
stop 4388
1015
if sso doesnt break higher here soon at 4393 i will sell up here and reenter
1014
stop 4378 on 50% of sso shares
1011
sso stop moved to 4368 for guar small profit plus free ride up
1003
close to first target 4396, about 4 cents away,,, watching for reaction before deciding whether to sell here
1001
i still have 15min and 60min buy signals for now, will look to short later maybe
953
4396 first sso target, last 4370, cost 4351
948
i am in sso 43.51

Friday ramblings / Thurs eve futures
0355

2957 stop....10 cents risk
0259
vix is not waking up here,,,,small candles...
0249
adding more sds here 2958
0246
given that bias is down, might not need a divergence to turn back down on 3min
0212
there is a 3min bear diverg setting up now, and the daily bias is already down, so took profits in the long sso and remain short the sds for now
0210
exiting sso for profits here,,,4389
0208
i'm still in sds now,,,cuz i have the sso hedge,,,sso was not stopped out b4
0157
poss bull inv HS in spx 3min

if sds can get over 3002, next target is 3032, last 29.80
0137
on the 133t chart sds,,,, it broke under its uptrend line, and is now trying to backtest back up (inverse for spx)
0134
sso stop set near breakeven,,, that was a dud trade, only 0.3% profit,,, the shorts have returned nicely tho
0133
there's a bullish hammer in spx 60minute,,,but my work suggests bears will repair that
0129
hold time minutes hours,,,maybe swing
0128
paying premium,,,in sds 2975 starter position 1 of poss 2, position 50% half size for now
0123
i'll buy sds again at 29.67 limity

1111
vix targets 1821,,, 1840 and 1867 R would be next,,,, if 1867 is broken higher, then fireworks...
1110
if vix breaks 1787 then 1821 vix next,,, testing 1787 now,,,pullback would be normal but could go for 1821 first
1103
10 min spx getting lil stronger but no "cover shorts" signal yet,,, my timeframe is hours/days tho,,, 60min says "stay short"
1100
tho dow is "only" down 50 points, not much really, could easily see triple digit dow loss today
1058
vix at 1784 R now,,, 1840 and 1867 R would be next,,,, if 1867 is broken higher, then fireworks...
1055
spx could go lower than 1200 so keeping for now,,, ES targets 1192 and 1190

Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Wedn ramblings (and Tues eve ES futures)
0423
fwiw,,,, there was just a spy sale...119.85 spy, 1 million shars, at 16:21 PM, red,,, this is generally bearish for next day or so, to hit the 119.85 during 930-4pm
0408'
i'm not sure,,,need to check records,,, but i think today was the "worst" day for my auto-trading system since Jan 1
0406
exited AA at loss.... 3 cents
0341
today this is the farthest from the 5 MA daily that ES has been since March 8
0216
spx 3 min broke its UTL lower, then back up to backtest it,,, triple bear diverg on 3min spx
0211
spx at 1206 is OVER its DAILY bollinger band of 1204
0204
big red vix candle now, cancelled out previous green one
0203
i have a swing short spx via long spxu setup here, as long as it is over 26.93
0159
1617 is intraday R for vix....
0158
big green candle in vix just now,3min from 1586 to 1618
0146
ES just put in the largest red candle since 10am,,,on 15min chart,,,but its only a 2 point candle
0144
AA at support here,,,watching if it holds 1434,, a break under 1432 could trigger stops down
1250
shorting AA 1439
1239
to clarify,,, .. i meant the vix candle is green, sorry,,, the vix itself down 2% today
1237
even with that last spx pop up, vix is still green for day
1208
3min bull fla in the vix is bearish for spx at 1204
1203
shorting more spy here,,, spxu vol is too low,, at spxu 2742
1201
spxu here 2742 trade is still valid, to me
1156
should get sell signal by 12:01
1154
4 minutes later, the drop has started,,, spx 1201 and 1197 my initial targets
1149
charts suggest pullback in coming minutes, spx last 1205
1145
vix just shot up, relatively, 3min
1143
addind spxu here 2737.. avg now 2742
1130
spxu 3735 looks good,,,, i already have some
from 3747,,,if not i would buy here
1129
this last move up here is suspicious looking,,, still think pulls back some,, spx 1205
1106
should see a pullbakc here,,, spx 1203.77
1102
close to sell signal on 3min spx,,,at 1203.92
1052
entering spxu 2747
1039

entering fas 11.38

0216
spx 3 min broke its UTL lower, then back up to backtest it,,, triple bear diverg on 3min spx
0211
spx at 1206 is OVER its DAILY bollinger band of 1204
0204
big red vix candle now, cancelled out previous green one
0203
i have a swing short spx via long spxu setup here, as long as it is over 26.93
0159
1617 is intraday R for vix....
0158
big green candle in vix just now,3min from 1586 to 1618
0146
ES just put in the largest red candle since 10am,,,on 15min chart,,,but its only a 2 point candle
0144
AA at support here,,,watching if it holds 1434,, a break under 1432 could trigger stops down
1250
shorting AA 1439
1239
to clarify,,, .. i meant the vix candle is green, sorry,,, the vix itself down 2% today
1237
even with that last spx pop up, vix is still green for day
1208
3min bull fla in the vix is bearish for spx at 1204
1203
shorting more spy here,,, spxu vol is too low,, at spxu 2742
1201
spxu here 2742 trade is still valid, to me
1156
should get sell signal by 12:01
1154
4 minutes later, the drop has started,,, spx 1201 and 1197 my initial targets
1149
charts suggest pullback in coming minutes, spx last 1205
1145
vix just shot up, relatively, 3min
1143
addind spxu here 2737.. avg now 2742
1130
spxu 3735 looks good,,,, i already have some
from 3747,,,if not i would buy here
1129
this last move up here is suspicious looking,,, still think pulls back some,, spx 1205
1106
should see a pullbakc here,,, spx 1203.77
1102
close to sell signal on 3min spx,,,at 1203.92
1052
entering spxu 2747
1039
60 min bear diverg setting up in spx, not finished yet.... 10 min diverg bearish near completion
1030
exited sds 2925, loss of 2 cents
1016
exiting fas 114.53, breakeven on fas (2 cent profit)
entering fas 11.38
1011
inv HS forming on 60min vix, bullish vix, bearish spx, in coming hours
1004
big red bar in vix...its shifting around here now ... i likely will exit FAS before SDS
1002
in sds 29.27 short term trade
959
big green vix bar, 3 min
9:31
in fas at 113.51, short term trade

Tuesday's ramblings
0356
limit 1858 cover BAC
0355
doing some spxu for swing at 27.81
0334
suggests possible move down in spx
0334
on that last move up,,, vix declined much less than spx advanced
0303
vix 60min chart is bullish, suggests lower spx in coming hours (tomorrow)
0258
i remain short BAC 1865
0257
exiting cat, breakeven (about 10 cent profit on $66),,, too many positions to watch here into the close so taking the CAT off
0217
Filled on BAC short 1865
0208
shorting BAC again limit 1865 if filled.
0201
LONG in CAT 6626
0152
exiting dxd 2562,,, for 1 cent loss,,, maybe re-enter later,,,doesnt look right
0141
AA testing LOD here,, 1407
0135
short AA 1414
0132
right now, i like the dow short more than spx short, hence the dxd instead of more spxu
0120
doing dxd 2563 here,,,shorting DOW
1246
an alternative would be to set stop loss at 2813,,,last 2815
1244
selling half of remaining shares 2816 vs 2808,,,small profit but allows me to lower stop on remaining shares..... now have 25% shares left
1236
stop lowered to 28.00 for now, mental stop, on half of remaining shares (25%) spxu
1227
stoploss on remaining 50% shares of spxu set at breakeven, can always reenter,, at 2808
1152
BAC getting wacked
hard
1122
es should pull back here from 1189
1102
spxu here at 2832 looks good for scalp
1050
spxu 2824 limit could work if filled
1039
SPX now has possible 3 day candle pattern of bear eve star, needs confirmation on day 4 tomorrow,,,
1038
vix at R now,,,poss stall,,, might sell some more spxu here 2847, unsure
1036
looks like spx has more unfinished biz on downside in coming hours,,, last 1190
1032
selling spxu 2837 here from 2808 cost,,, 25% more shares, have 50% shares left
1030
heres that move down,,,watching how far it goes
1023
taking profits on 25% of shares into strength here, spxu 2826 vs 2808 cost
1022
theres the new low in spx, as expected
0109
3min spx coiling
1003
small sell programs, spx 1194
1000
spx should make a lower intraday low,
947
i will try limit spxu 2808 if filled
938
VIX at gap R now, trying to break higher over it
