In last night’s plan I sufficiently teased market makers for them to provide a simply irresistible setup, a look below and fail of yesterday’s low into the 6353-6357 range.
This setup produced a 230 handle long in nearly a straight line. Yesterday’s low was not the time to be bearish, and today’s high is not the time to be bullish. Bulls accomplished a ton today, even reclaiming the bearish RTH gap from Thursday/Friday last week. However, we will learn far more about the durability of this rally when bulls are faced with defending a dip.
I had monetized most of my hedges and added back some longer-term long exposure in the last hours yesterday which appears to have been well-timed for now.
We had added ERY yesterday near the XLE high of day and today added swing puts, taking some profit on the huge dump.
I did a public livestream on 3/4 discussing a bit about volume profile, a bit about trading in general, and answered a few questions. The replay can be seen here: March 4th Livestream
