OK, it is very rare one gets to say this as a trader, but: this is a little too easy.
Lately I've been shorting the /ES in the low 870s with a stop above 880 and covering at 860.
The first time, it was a nice profit. The second time, it was cool to nail a similar trade again (while sleeping, no less). And the third time, just now, was a repeat of yesterday. That is: (1) short (2) sleep (3) cover.
"Easy" doesn't last, so given 860's importance, and given my worrywart nature, I figure at some point soon either (a) 860 will get broken hard, leaving me kicking myself for having covered the position; or (b) the market will explode higher, making me wish I had not only covered, but reversed.
But in a market like this, I just can't bring myself to be a bull in a major way; only with a variety of small equity positions.
