Yikes!

Well, that didn't take long. Just after I bought the e -minis at 1264 the market collapsed below 1260.50 on very high volume (no doubt many stops were taken out).  I reversed my position at 1257.00 and am now short 1 unit. The 1250 level should be reached soon.  This kind of activity makes me think that 1240 is a real possibility.

Carl, if you believe a lot of stops were taken out on the drop, that indicates that the market was positioned to be very bullish. That is contrary to your contrary indicators, no??

Not a bull in sight now that 1260 was broken. Sometimes the crowd gets to be right, but if we needed a bear trap to go higher, this may be it.
