10/8 2:15

The official high 30-minute close was 1161.25, bang-on the envelope.  The market took us right to the edge and blinked first.  As EasternEdge pointed out VIX hit a low not seen since late April.  The market hitting nominal new highs emboldened the bulls and brought a couple of comments to this blog about what a fool I am to increase my exposure here.  Fool I am,  happy fool.  Actually, my trading allocations are conservative.  I could go much, much further into exposure.
This is what it takes to turn a trend, deeply ingrained conviction that the trend will always return to save their _____s.   You fill in the blanks. 
Still 1.75 hours to the close.  A lot can happen.  If a sell-off does occur I'll short into the weakness.
Still long DX futures and short CL futures along with SP futures and 10% SDS long.

  1. you da man! I admire your courage and the confidence you have in your system.

    (I've seen that you play defense much better than I do when the market goes against you, so I will wait for a little more confirmation before adding to shorts :-)
