Where is everybody?
Is trading the Dow more difficult or involving than ususal, or has everyone taken the rest of the day off?

Short 487 cash
Edit: 2 min chart confirms.
Edit 2: 3 and 5 mins confirm, selling pressure looks to be increasing. Looks like some lucky folk got short from a whisker away from 13500.

I'm still short. Making losses. But stubborness has taken over me. I feel possessed. I'm going to see this through to the end of the week if it wipes me out. I'm sticking to my action plan outlined last Sunday.
Good example of how not to trade.
stop to 70, and adding at 85 (also stop at 70) with a free trade now on the full position. target 545

Short from where? I just covered a short anticipating another move north.
I'm in no position to be giving advice, but I hope you know what you are doing. Do you keep a written record of trades, and if so have you referred back to it? If you don't know why you are in a trade, get out. Are you just hoping, or do you have valid reasons to hold this?
Wipes you out!? Make sure you leave enough to trade another day!
I wish you well.

Sorry to hear about your trade. There will be more opportunities before the close, and even more tomorrow!
Close one for me there - just noticed I had an open buy stop which is within a few tics of being triggered - oops! - Cancelled it!

its ok lurker, thanks. no cash in, and a trade that was placed and left on its own while i was with my kid. so no worries.
the adding a long blindly after a rejection of a round number is the issue. well, we all have our flaws. yep, you are right, opportunities all over the place.
