I am Short SPY

I scaled in starting at $109.78. I am now Fully Short after SPY confirmed below $109.60. Avg price of my short position is $109.68. Looking for target in the low $109s. Keep in mind though, if SPY can break $109 or specifically $108.75, it should fall hard, so I am going to give myself a chance to hold on to this trade.

However, the Pattern Play is still in effect and if it continues, we'll bounce off the $109 base and head back up come Monday.

Sold SPY $109.88

Looking to go short

Filled at $110.03 to make Full Position of SPY

Bought SPY $110.08

Bought half a position. Have to watch this trade carefully, if price does decide to turn down swiftly, it can be difficult to exit a position in pre-market trading as you can't place stops...

Watching dollar, if dollar futures move above $78.27 or SPY confirms below $110, I will look to go Short.

What I am Looking at this Morning

I am watching to see if SPY can move down towards the $110 support level. I have a limit to buy at $110.08 and $110.02. If SPY shows enough weakness to confirm a movement below $110, I will look to Sell my position and go Short.
