Friday ramblings / Thurs eve futures

359
out of 2nd vxx scalp .58 from .47

358
.58 stop, last .60

354
if reentered vxx scalp would raise stop to breakeven then sell at close

351
aggressive could buy bak the scalp here at .47 and hold thru close

340
3148 stop on the remaining vxx scalp piece into the close

339
thus far, qqqq volume lower today than previous days

334
now in 3min chart theres a poss bull W on vxx that measures close to the second .80ish trgt posted b4

319
vxx made it one cent over the .63 trgt to .64 and pulled back, .52 last

316
stopped out on that half, profits taken, still have half

315
.57 stop on half of vxx scalp to lock guar 20 cents profit :), as it hits the .63 trgt here

313
.55 mental stop,,, ,58 last,, will nbot auto sell on .55

311
3180 is trgt if .63 breaks,,

309
vxx scalp moved to near breakeven in case of sudden surge down, free ride up from here

303
3140 add more could work if hits there,, .44 last, tho may just breakout higher to targets

302
vxx first scalp trgt from .37 is .63,,, last .50,,,swing trgts are same as b4 and higher of course,no limit orders on scalps yet,,,watching reactions

233
FOR VXX SCALPS,,,this pattern will usually go up more, allow profit taking,,,then move lower to a higher low, to allow a "buy the dip" second scalp entry,,,watching for first exit

219
3137 VXX SCALP HERE COULD WORK, STOP .21ISH

206
3178ish vxx resist,

205
IF vxx pulls back here, can make a nice scalp,,usually this pattern will pb some on the 3min charts, tho breakout higher instead is poss,, 3142 last

147
3min vxx does suggest a bounce soon tho, for scalps too, but not just yet

143
adding 10% more vxx here to mid term swing position, 31.44

114
sco looks like it has more upside,,,i will prob take sco profits on the next 60min chart move higher,,,sco long = 2x oil short

109
spy or es short is setting up, no entry yet, for swing scalp combo,,, may need to wait until tuesday for an entry not today, unsure

1245
qqqq up 0.5%,,, utx down 1%,,, lots of opps in individ stocks, good for utx short

VXX vxx position is red here, still see higher vxx in coming weeks, this is a swing to hold, will add another 10% entry but no entry yet,,, currently vxx is a 30% position size,,,

10% entry but no entry yet,,, currently vxx is a 30% position size,,, vxx requires patience and wide stops


1206
if DOW moves over 11,800-900ish and then
below the 11,800,,, it could present a nice swing short entry for multiweek hold

1140
UTX has nice daily red candle, still swing short there, no profit taking yet

Thurs ramblings (and Wedn eve ES futures)

357
oil near lows of day...holding shorts still that were entered yest

342
 interesting action here now on this pb

214
cl just made new low, new high of day sco :)

213
oil now back near low of day, still see lower lows before reversing from short to long oil

150
VXX buy signal at 81%,,,needs 85% to move, 3317 last

142
if AA doesnt move nearer to its low, or to a lower lo, i'll prob cover half around here 1571

141
aa hit 1581,,,or 2 cents under mental stop, and turned down :D

1:11
 i'm covering half AA stop .87,,, mental stop .83

1239
qqqq is bullish over 5653 and 5640, but a decline to 5640 is likely to produce a bounce to a lower high, higher hi likely needs over 5650ish, break of 5640 should lead to the lower qqqq swing targets

1118
vxx broke .40 support and went down near yesterdays low,,, still see a rebound in vxx coming days weeks, tho RED now

1035
due to its ability to make nice intraday moves of 10-50 cents (even over $1),, today i'm scalping the vxx in additino to the swings

1030
adding vxx here 3350

1022
VXX 60min bull hammer

1019
sco now 1014, up from 997 entry :) up almost 4% since yest,,, USO puts should also be rocking now tho i didnt use optinos

1015
thus far the vxx pb has remained well above the .40 trgt,,,its consolod bullishly at .60 now,,,over .40 should have a run later to new highs :)

1012
utx continues its wild whipsaw action, typical of topping process, still short in utx

1007
VXX just hit the 3370 trgt, next trg are 3403,  3432  3485,,, stall pullbak here .70 would be normal

946
also still short qqqq from 5650 and that old 5588 entry, swings

945
still have the vxx new longs from yest, watching for upper targets for 10-20% move up, swing

623AM
NEWLY ENTERED OIL shorts from yesterday looking good, oil is currently down CL,,, unless it rallies then USO will get the expected gap down mentinoed yesterday

315
vxx just hit the .60 trgt but i'm holding for posted higher targets :)

314

vxx may overshoot the .60 trgt for .70ish

208
still ahve same vxx targets

202
AXP,,,new low of day :)

131
but vxx moving up could prevent qqqq from making a higher intraday high, watching

129
5681 qqqq trgt if it decides to break higher,,,still like scaling into shorts, holding shorts for now

120
AXP 60min has a stoch dbl top plus a bear diverg

1259

1207
5630 QQQQ TRGT lower then stall

1148
typ at 2136

1147
usually this qqqq pattern will move down, then back up,,,shorting the first "down" which may be small, watching reactions n price

1146
5650 shorting qqqq here, half size, will add more if goes higher

1140

1007
buying VXX here 3411 for combo scalp swing

952
first utx price was 7994 when it opened then i raised it to 8007 for now,,, will reeval after i see how high it pushes here,,,missed 7994 trgt, hit 7990 so far and now 7974 last,, often the price will pop 10 cents over the even # like 80.00 and it was moving fast b4 so highered the lim order to short,,,but may need to short at lower levels

944
80.08 UTX changin lim order for now

941
i'll short UTX again 7994 lim if filled, may enter lower if needed

935
only prob on qqqq is gap was quickly filled this AM,,,gap theory suggests a lower daily low from 5629 when that happens,, i'll short the bounce, then maybe reverse long, waiting for bounce opp

933
poss re-entry for oil short CL entry today, waiting for opp
