My "hedging" helped a lot. I particularly like the DBA purchase from an earlier post today. Although my many shorts act as a collar against my long gains, I'd rather temper my portfolio (in both directions). In any case, I'm in the green today, although not wildly.
I'm doing a "Spotlight" session again this afternoon on the thinkorswim platform. You can access it here. I won't be doing any more posts until late tonight. I hope to see you at the spotlight session!
I am buying DBA at these levels with a stop price at 24.29. I like it both in daily bar and minute bar form.
The retracement levels which I created entirely on my own shamelessly stole from 2sweeties continue to amaze. These have been quite helpful; just look at the past couple of days, even in this insane market.
I know some people don't like watching videos, but at least play this so you can listen to it in the background. It's pretty amazing.
I confess to remaining shell-shocked from yesterday, so I'm trading more conservatively (e.g. no index options, no futures).
My principal portfolio is now perfectly balanced – 75 small long positions, and 75 small short positions. If the market explodes one way or the other, the hope is that one side's percentage gains would outweigh the other's percentage losses (these aren't random stocks, obviously; they are carefully chosen for their supposed bearish and bullish patterns, so hopefully the odds are in my favor).
As always, you can peruse the watch lists on the right column to see precisely what I own.
