Partial cover

I have covered my 4230 entry at 4207 for 23 points.

I am now left with a 20% fill from 4251 and have moved my stop to 4246.

Update: my leftover short got stopped out at 4246 for a modest 5 point profit. All flat now.

Covered short at 4201

From 4225 for 24 points.

Now flat.

Closed long at 4130

From 4099 for 31 points.

Closed long at 4142

From 4125, as we are approaching the close.

I am done for the week, have a good weekend!

Covered all shorts and flipped to long at 4125

I have covered the short I had from 4214 and concurrently went long at 4125.

10% fill ONLY, stop at 4095: it's a countertrend trade, but I want to give it a try. I am done for the week after this trade however it goes.

Covered half position at 4134

I covered my 4174 entry at 4134. We got the sell off even before open...

Left with the original 20% at 4214, and moved the stop at 4182.

Flipped at 4214

Took profit on the small long I had left from 4192 and concurrently went short at 4214 for a 20% fill, stop at 4230.

Covered half at 4232

From 4192 for 40 points. Now left with a 10% fill at 4192 and moving stop to 4198: worst case scenario I get stopped out with a 6 point profit.

Flipped sides at 4288

I took profit on my long from 4243 for 45 points and concurrently went short, 20% fill, stop at 4305.

I might flip sides again if strength develops: an area to watch as mentioned this morning is the 4250s.

Took profit on 1/3 of my long at 4263

From 4243 for 20 points. Moving stop on remainder to 4233 for a risk free trade on what I have left.

Update: moved stop to 4240.

Flipped sides at 4243

Took profit on my short from 4298 (for 55 points) and concurrently flipped sides and went long at 4243, 30% fill, stop at 4230.

I have changed my plan to the upside, but let's see if I am called to flip sides again.

Partial cover

I covered half of my long at 4265 from 4298 for 33 points. Moving stop on remainder at breakeven, however, I am ready to flip side if appropriate.

Took profit on all shorts at 4262

From 4356 and 4274 for 94 and 12 points respectively.

I am now flat.

Long at 4333

Only 10% fill, stop at 4310.

Update: this scalp was in the money for a few minutes and then we broke onto new lows. It missed my stop by 1 point or so. Took this out 4317 for a 16 point loss, this trade was too emotional...

Closed short completely

At 4454, from 4450 for a 4 point loss. Net P&L for today was +54 points, both long and short, that's good enough for me. Upside momentum is building on US indices and in any case I don't want to keep a short over the weekend at this juncture.

Have a nice weekend!

Closed half of short at 4430

From 4450. Moving stop on remainder at 4470.

Flipped sides

I have taken profit on my small long and concurrently went short at 4450, 20% fill, stop at 4475.

Long again at 4412

Stop at 4400, 50% fill.

Update: took profit on 3/5 of the trade oat 4426, moved stop on remainder at 4405.

Update 2: taking profit at 4446 on 1/2 of remainder and moving stop, left with a 10% fill long at 4412, stop at breakeven.

Closed long at 4433

From 4417 for a scalp, now flat.

Moving stop

To 4420.

Update: I haven't been stopped out (yet) by 1 point...

Update 2: stopped out at 4420 from 4371 for 49 points. Will we keep on ranging?
