Regardless, the TA is playing out properly for a sustained visit to the 3.05-3.35 range, however it may take one to three weeks to manifest itself.

    The same goes for the broader market, sell the rally as we approach the 50% retrace and then again @ the 61.8 retrace. I would advise skipping 23.6% and 38.2%. Be happy with one sell if you are shorting, but take two if you can get it.

    Need to kick off a few new projects, no more post for a few weeks.
    First sell fired off ~@50% retrace (3.52).

    Second sell(s) fired off @ 61.8% (3.575). Now we wait, how long not sure. We have some money flows coming in to the market mid March ('forced' buying). May need to get through that before I see the fruits of the labor.

    FX is acting back up, should bleed back in to the Equity market soon. So, it remains to be seen if the SnP will hit the targets for me to short. Won't (don't) chase. If I miss the boat, I miss the boat.

    Was never worried...i was confident my buys would pay off more quickly than your 50/50 chance six month projection. Taking advantage of the upward movement in sp and selling over the last few session and paying myself. Sold off in lots and made over 2500, not a killing but for a few week trade....i am happy. Bring on 2.75...plenty of powder here.

    Need to go with the 4.20 to 3.29 fib. I'll take the .05 hit on the call, got get it there to sink the putt anyhow. [Hind Sight] makes sense with the top end of the 3.36-365 range. Press it with a 3.70 stop on the short[s].

    Look to FX as your lead.

    3.29 to 4.20 fib confirmed with the 50% hit. Stopped out of one of the 3.57 sell only. Back to a 4.05 avg. Plan stays the same other than a time frame shift. Probably pushed beyond the pension money flows for the market around mid March.

    Still in new project land.
