Bush saves the day, his words of wisdom have averted a market panic.

OK guys I'm back to occasional post lurker.

Good trading

 

IB is literally fucking outta whack right now. I tried to cover my short from 1200 but couldn't so I had to buy the equivalent amount for YM. I just hope the two move in tandem.

The best trades will always be the hardest ones to take.

 

Pure luck? Right to it, hot damn.

 

I just want to share my misery with other ES traders

My model was calling for the rubberband to snap back around noon.

bot 1145 es calls @ 13.00 @ 12:41:17
sld em @ 17 @ 13:14:44

When they LSE news came out all quotes dissapeared..as soon as they came back online I panicked and hit the bid.


last time i check they were 56 bid...ugh

Called it as well...although problem is it went against us by about 40pts when we made the call..

So at least when I make a call...immediately trade against it and then reverse in an hour.

 

Just defend position until it takes off.
