Lunch Analysis

I have to give myself props for the morning call.  I got a great entry for that down move.  I just exited, because part of my plan is to be slow to enter and quick to exit.  No sense in being afraid to book a nice profit, particularly when you're overlevered on day trading margins.  I'm still short in my personal account, because I have enough margin to hold overnight positions in that account and as the chart shows, there's no divergence and this is still a healthy downtrend.

Since we're still looking good, I'm looking to short any rallies this afternoon.  First target is to take out the previous low at 813.4.  I may play a countertrend bounce if I see a divergence.





UPDATE:  Well this is interesting.  The S&P futures are showing the exact same setup we had on the Russell this morning, except there isn't a negative divergence (yet).  I just shorted the bounce in the Russell.




The Euro is backtesting the wedge.  Kiss it goodbye?
