Looks like that bull flag just flipped into a bear flag. And down we go weeeeeeeeee!
Just wish I had a better short position. I'll be lucky to break even.
SPYU
Wow! Mega volume coming in! I'm in at $15.50.

Old school was to buy the rumor and sell the news. New school is to buy the good news and sell the bad. Markets now days move up on bad news. Take profits every time a bomb goes off.
The markets are backwards like everything else now days in acKiremA.
SPY
Volume before price. Someone just bought 1.5 million on SPXS. I Kinda doubt that was Joe 6-pack picking up a few shares.
SPY
Spoken like a true trader. Never buy or sell until after 10:05am Eastern.
But following these rules caused me to miss a 10 bagger penny a few weeks ago so there is down side to every strategy.
SPY
IF the economy is just so awesome why the zero rates and record stock buy-backs. lol
I am short the S&P.
SPY
One year chart says we are heading for a correction. Once again the market is one step ahead of the news. Funny how that works. Remember the funny business in the market's just before 911?
August/September were normal corrections. Then the shorts covered and covered. Market had no good reason to be up. I bought 2 bear positions on the S&P after pulling down 26 and 13 % profits in Aug/Sept shorting. The third position I bought is for a black Swan event. The fourth is because of technicals on the 1 year chart. Christmas shopping season gonna suck. More attacks coming.
SPY
Better take a peek at the S&P one year chart.
SPY
It will but not yet.
Need bigger attacks.
UWTI
Don't vaporize any until I can make $ome money shorting the S&P!
Sucka gonna gap down hard Monday.
SPY
Looks like you are on the $money with your minute call.
I hope and don't hope we have a flash crash today. I don't want to have to splain to the highway patrol why I am day trading on the side of the road with guns stacked up in my hatchback (going on a hunting trip at 1pm today). lol
I want to take some profits on my shorts but at the same time I want to get to where I am going so I can bust a cap in Bambi's rear-end.
Decisions, decisions.
I think we are going to chop up and down into the new year but mostly chop down.
SPY
I was in around 18ish when the Chinese market blew up and I had no stop. I decided not to average down and when she retested the highs I put a stop in and stopped out for about $40 loss. Looking for a redo this time around. Had I averaged down or stopped out and got back in I would have netted about the same profit. My only loss is not being able to play this twice back-to-back thanks to my poor strategy. I normally play $500 - $550 here but I think I am going to play with $1000 this time with a reasonable stop in.
I have one buy indicator on this one with four maybes. Maybe get in early next week.
RUSL
What is up with that big middle finger on the chart after hours?
SPY
I heard Santa's new sleigh just got repoed. Ol' Saint Nich gonna be sporting a used VW diesel this X-mas.
I am keeping a keen eye on SPY.
SPUY
Bloomberg bunnies running damage control for the bankstas. They are stammering and stuttering. Something is up (actually down). lol
SPY
The problem I have is I got in about $2 above the bottom because the chart was not a buy until it hit about $17. So I was not able to average down as far as I would have liked. My mistake was not putting a stop in in the first place. When you play the bear side in the a bull market you gotta have stops in. Absent minded mistake on my part.
SPY
Yes, a sign of reversal. Since we been climbing we might be falling next. And since I am betting against the S&P over in a 3x leveraged fund with an averaged down position I am like :) because I might be able to squeeze out my third profit against the S&P in 4 months. Dinner money at best but profit none the less.
SPY
All I got to say is check the S&P 500 one year chart.
:)
SPY
This looks like a buy on the 1 year chart. S&P gonna grind down I think.
SPXS
This looks like a buy on the 1 year chart. S&P gonna grind down I think.
SPXS
Looks like we are going to retest those lows. Make up for me getting hosed. I would like to see a bull flag around $13ish.
RUSL
The way the S&P is crawling down I'd say the reports are going to be weak
NUGT
BITCF up 233% today 150% because of my ask slapping.
Pretty darn thin if you ask me.
BITCF
OK, bastards forced me to split my order up. If I waited until Monday I'd have to pay another comish anyway so I smacked the ask and then another wall came up. I wacked on that one too.
Ya'll can thank ME for this phuuuuuuupy going up 150% today!
Now let's keeper moving so that I can take MY profits.
Oh, and for those bashing me for trying to buy on the bid, when they split my order they put my remaining shares on the bid anyway.
:)
BITCF
OK, I bought the next endless wall at 3, price now up 150%.
BITCF
Well they tightened the spread up to 22/23. Bastards split my order up. Only 10k filled but the price went up from 75% today to 91%. Guess the small guy (me) is manipulating the price today. Is this legal? hmmm
Fill my order!
BITCF
I am sitting on the ask at 23.
At the opening ding dong the bid was at 1 and the ask at 3 so I put my order in at 2. They moved my order to the bid.
BITCF
That's me sitting on the bid.
Now give me a bid whack!
BITCF
The fence left me behind when DUST would not drop below 13.5ish. So I'll just bag hold over in NUGT for now.
DUST
4 or 5 for me. Unless this looks penny bound then I will hold.
VTMB
I did not take the bait on Monday.

OK, news posted on Scott Trade. Might be interesting today.

Numbers from foamcee will be doctored as usual.

My mega year was 2014. This year has been kinda sucky. Too many scalps and stop-outs. No big take-downs for me. 2013 wasn't bad either.
I am hoping for around 4 here in a few days to weeks.
Hoping for a better year next year. My big bet is going to be on oil and gold miners we a few random penny plays like VTMB.
VTMB
Looks like the money movers want this to open at 21.
VTMB
Don't ruin our hope!
We're not worthy!
GO VTMB!
Been over a year since I traded a penny. I need to remind myself the only stop I got is my mouse (or smart phone).
VTMB
This is why I held and did not sell this AM. Besides, in spikes and drops like today I have never had any luck getting small orders filled.
I am holding for the 4 to 6 range.
VTMB
Patients is my biggest problem trading. I either have too much or not enough. lol
VTMB
Looks like a 40 milly share purchase so who bought?
