    guys we are in an uptrend, I stated 2 weeks ago that I thought the low was in, I covered all shorts on the watch list on Mar 9th and put Longs, We state we only use EW as a roadmap, but use normal tech analysis to time our trades. EW worked well last year and defines the bear market, this is not the start of a new bull market, however we are in an uptrend.  wave B will last for several months, it has been three weeks, what have you missed??  You still have a few months of uptrend? My target on wave B is 1000 - 1100 on the SPX, but is will not go straight there. Plus did not not play any longs?

    People get so damn emotional, I'm getting tired of all this.

     

    I said, we are in an uptrend, we look to buy pullbacks, pullbacks will be shallow so shorting is only for short term, the trend is up, I've been saying this for a while.  We have Longs on the watch list.  how many shorts do you see and the 2 shorts we have are working.  Enough on this already

    As a person who tried to do day trading by myself, and lost $40,000, I'd like to say thanks to Matt & co. I have much better direction than I ever had before. And I say to Matt, "you can't please everybody all the time" !! Carry, on, you are doing a great job ! Thanks again.

    Matt, do not be dispirited by the negative comments.  This is a great service; your comments are clear, informative and well balanced.  Maybe the detractors would benefit from some training in listening skills :-)

    Matt, I am watching the SPX hit that 825 line you drew on the 60 minute chart.  I'm interested in your thoughts as we watch if it is taken out, or falls back.  Looked strong this morning, but too vertical.  I may sell my SDS on a small decline, or hold if the market falls back as quickly as it went up.

    Regarding emotions on the site.  As long as people keep it civil, it is nice to know we have a passion for trading.  I try to make objective trading choices, but I do smile after a nice trade.  And I learn something from the bad ones.
