Matt - Your analysis is spot on.  Most people get very emotional during inflection points.   I went short at today's open.  then cashed out midday.  Then I went short again during the next bounce but then got stopped out an hour before the close.  Then i saw the news hit about Trump and giving a news conference so I new to exit my short position.  I lost 2% of my gains but was up for the day.  Then I went long Weekly SPY call options that expire next week and going to cash out tomorrow.   I will look to go short again at the  gap into huge resistance around 290.  If I do not get any signals than I will just go to cash.   Emotion is the #1 killer of trades.  Anyone can make an argument why you should be bullish or bearish right now but price and time and TA is going to win over.  The market doesnt give a rats ass about what anyone thinks.  Its job is to fool you and take your money.  

    it’s better to look at

    it’s better to look at daily charts to know the levels during the day and most importantly remember not to get carried away with the shape of the candle stick until closing. Trendspider charting seems to be more informative than stock charts lately.
