Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
You did awesome on the trade WS. A 2.75% gain. That is fantastic!!!Originally Posted by Whipsaw
I'm hoping I didn't jump too soon, but I've seen these runs up to resistance that turn down again. I'll be on the road too and not sure if/when I'll be able to monitor things. Still, caught some nice updrafts on these last couple days.Great job!!!

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Thanks for the cudos RF!
I'm in Germany this week, eating way too much schnitzel, at any rate, its interesting that the IFT cut off isn't till 6 pm local. Of course, its still the middle of the market day, but there is more time to surf around and research market news and . The move out at the double top was a win, looking for a new entry point, wondering what will play out with the GB election. Futures are up at 0435 eastern

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
So there I was... logged into the TSP site, IFT requested, allocations set in the boxes, S fund climbing like a big dog, ready to pull the trigger... then the "WHAT AM I DOING?" hit, like Bugs Bunny hammering on the block buster bomb fuse with the little gremlin egging him on... I cancelled out and went out to get some pils and schnitzel.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Futures are down this morning, entering into a negative seasonal period for about the next two weeks. I've got one IFT left, would like to get in at a low prior to next month.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
The Big Picture at Briefing.com is saying that the market is ahead for the first half of the year; that volatility will increase in the second half; political issues of passing legislation, or not, to include infrastructure and tax reform will have an impact. In sort, for short term, caution prevails, in their words 'quit while you're ahead.' I, of course, need to garner a few more percentage points... >.<

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
S-Fund appears to be on the move, saw the entry point on Thursday (?) but didn't move on it ( I need to be more aggressive); now the question is does the move continue? We're past the seasonal weakness; we appear to be hitting resistance around 1238. Grock trade has a buy, sees the recent choppiness as consolidation/high base, though there is a rising wedge in play as well... Hmmmmm....
