Well, my question really is, do you set your limit order price at whatever SPY is trading for, or do you put your limit order at or near the closing price?

Do you set a limit order for after hours or do you just take it at whatever the price is? Admittedly, it's only up 32 cents, so it's not much more than the closing price.

Yes, that's the description in the article.

Next week is one of the "Nasty Seven" weeks of the year, statistically speaking. I.e., historically the seven are the worst performing weeks of the year. Tomorrow might be a good time to enter a bear call credit spread of some kind on SPY, with expiration next Friday, etc.

The Worst Weeks

COP holding up well. Bought some 2 weeks ago, stop is now the breakaway gap from last Friday.

Is there a short XRT etf? (for retirement account)

Morning star pattern forming on SCCO. We'll see at EOD.

Testing the underside of the wedge.

Yep, it looks like that as well. I guess a tie goes to the larger picture pattern, i.e. the diamond? In which case, lower.

But there's some supply overhead, as Thursday's two intraday lows are at 4110 - 4112.

OTOH, SPX just broke symmetry intraday. Biggest bounce was 8 pts, this current bounce is 13 pts.

CDZI finally moving! Almost gave up on it last week. Glad I held.

CDZI finally moving! Almost gave up on it last week. Glad I held. Taking some off.

SCCO trying to bounce off the 50, hitting the 20 atm. I have a small position for long term. Kinda wondering if it'll take a hit later this year, summer even.

It's back into that gap, so I'm holding.

XP back into positive territory. Now if CDZI would just get up off it's a$$.

Hope nothing terrible  happened last night, Matt! Sounded like you had a wasp attack you!

SPX bumping its head on the 9ema

good point

Not gonna redraw again, but it's still in a wedge. At the top of the wedge, actually. Maybe a break to the upside? Would mean we're in wave 3 of return to the up trend.
