    Yes but who would've bought that ugly close unless a gambler? Could've easily had that C down 30 handles this morning, true? With a stop useless with these 20-30-50 point gap openings. But congratulations - I'm just spewing sour grapes because... :)

    did you really think it was going to crash?  I just think 200 MA on SPX hasn't been testing, too close not to at this point 

    my method is to take a shot on trades abc pullbacks.  For the market because of gaps, it can be a gamble - so look for a trigger on ES futures so I can have a stop

    Just janking with you. Don't

    Just janking with you. Don't trade ES so having stops haven't worked for me on cash SPY/IVV trades.

    MES is nice if you

    MES is nice if you want to use less leverage and have ability to scale out since 10 MES contracts = 1 ES. These days the market is so high on ES so MES is nice. for example 5 MES contracts is a way to trade 1/2 ES contract basically
