Equity Markets closed today but futures are trading.
NQ nasdaq futures have a big red daily candle, broke below friday's low
CL oil is also red, tho still over yesterdays low.
Both are good for short positions swing.

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 :)

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

1207
5630 QQQQ TRGT lower then stall
1148
