  1. Nice long entries! I followed you too, after noticing that the quasi-gap fill was corrective, not impulsive.

    How do you define the difference between a quasi-gap and and impulsive one?

  3. Market appears with be struggling with the 1063 level...If we can't get through there for good on a 3rd try, it seems best to get out.

  4. Ok. 3rd time seems like a charm.

  5. John, the struggle at 1063 was in preparation for a breakout of a bull flag. We can know what WAS "best" only after the fact, and not before, unfortunately.

    Carl's mid-term assertions come as close to meaningful predictions that I know of. But, even his predictions are based on the market being in an unrelenting up trend. Of course, that too can change but not without break in the mid-term trend lines.

  7. Andi,

    How many times have you shorted the market in the last days? Do you usually get it right the third or fourth time? , I would appreciate your great wisdom just to know when to sell my longs.
    Best Regards,
    Fermín.

  9. andi, are you guessing the top for ES or the bottom for UUP, or both? As there is currently an inverse correlation, you could be either right on both counts or wrong for both. Big bet! Good luck!
