Wrap-Up Later
What a terrific day! The Dow was down just 64 points, but I would give myself an "A-" in riding all the waves up and down. Overall, I made 3.75% today, even with all the little IRA bullish positions tied around my neck. I'll do a wrap-up later this afternoon.
Candle Patterns
My trading is going amazingly well today, so I have nothing to add to my recent commentary. I will say, in the meantime, I am very excited to let you know this week ProphetCharts will be enhanced with candlestick recognition! Check it out…..
This has been a very "in-demand" feature, and I'm thrilled to see it nearing completion. I hope you like it too!
Surfing Those Waves
I have no idea why, but everything is going fantastic today. I covered shorts this morning at great prices. Went long (briefly…….twice), both instances profitable.

Because when one is doing really well, it's a fantastic time to royally screw up.
Long Again
I've accumulated a position of 40 ES (long) at 817 with a stop at 817.75. I'm tightening up stops on my puts and shorts, and I closed out my big short positions (OIH, GDX, and /ES) earlier today.
