I fought the market today, and the market won! Do you ever feel like the Black Knight in the Holy Grail movie? I was the knight today and King Arthur was the market.
The individual investor has left the marketplace…computers and HFT are in charge! This can only help the bears ravage the market. Did you see some of those whips in nanoseconds? The bid/ask spreads were pretty wide also. Nobody can click a mouse that fast.
I spent most of the day just trying to get to cash with minimal losses. I was zigging and zagging as snipers kept shooting. 
I think I’ll trade futures this evening and take it easy during the cash market hours. Seems like the futures markets are much more reasonable and orderly during the night sessions. Night time money spends just as well as day time money!
New Home Sales report Wednesday…hoping it’s not as big a stinker as existing home sales were today. But we also have Durable goods before and oil inventories after. Oh boy, another quiet day! 
Sometimes, entranced by the screens, watching equities, options and futures change colors, charts moving in a wave, and indicators pointing in every direction, I just have to scream....
