Careful with DB. Program says the upper channel line is actually already broken. It might pullback to retest it but just fyi

I closed out of RSX and WYNN at breakeven - don't want to stay in a position too long.  Just in cash now.
Going to just wait for new signals tomorrow.

Watching BK for an upper trendline break.  Needs to close higher for the break to validate.

Added more on WYNN at $2.30 to the few calls I picked up yesterday.  Thinking we can complete that break today with the rest of the market rallying.  Cut losses on CLWR at $.20

Also keeping tabs on MET, waiting for confirmation at close.

Picked up MET Nov 37x calls at .86 on pullback and volume spike.

Added Nov 21x calls for CHK, also trendline break.  Avoiding BK for now - was hoping for a pullback but it just keeps going straight up.

Massive fib resistance just breached on eurusd... Targeting 1.34200, hoping for a daily close today above 1.3100

WYNN broke.  A close above 119 would be ideal.

What's your time frame and what are you trading based on?
I think banks could continue for a day or two more but I'm watching for an exit at the moment rather than entry, time-span for just a few days of course.

And don't forget about the DB trendline. we're only 1% away from hitting the top

I see a break in resistance line (middle white line, which it bounced off last time, broke it this time) with pretty good volume; I was going to enter with a stop at around $120. Since I don't have time to trade everyday, this was going to be an equity position with a hold time of around a few weeks to a month or two.

Didn't notice how close it was to the top tho (ridiculous stuff. My excuse is the lack of sleep due to 2 mt tmr...)

Got out of my SPY calls from last week at $2.20 (from $1.40).  Rode through more decay than I should have; will get out sooner next time if expiration is under a month.

As usual, my non-program based trades aren't doing that well.  Keeping those positions small just to see if they play out later.  Not a good idea to pick up CLWR the day my program sells it. <_<

Picked up two trendline breaks so far on WYNN (long) and BBT (short).  Going to watch into close to make sure they hold before opening positions.

Picked up BBT Nov 32x puts at $.80.  WYNN close was a bit too low, line is unbroken so far.  Only picked up a few Nov 120x calls at $3.30 and will only add more if we actually break tomorrow.

Price, volume, and RSI seem to be calling for a bottom on the NASDAQ here but hitrate isn't as reliable.  Also the RSI2 spread is quite wide - usually you want it to be tight for better conviction.

Really nice rally across the overall market after that signal, though I'm not sure why fundamentally.

Also picked up CLWR Nov 2.5x calls at .45 when it dipped below 2.50

Definitely too late to trade off of but just thought it was interesting my program picked up a trendline break on CLWR friday. I only bothered to run it on CLWR just now though so it doesn't help much.

Out of EXC calls at 1.7 from 1.25. Might run higher but I don't have an exit signal made yet for 30 min Trendlines so I have no clue what'd be a good exit.

Planning to pick up calls on SPY if this signal holds at close (price needs to stay this low to be oversold).

Out of INTC puts at $.95 from .88.  EXC calls also still doing well - going to exit probably at close or tomorrow.
