 Just a bond fund that when it drops under 10, the market tanks.
 I like looking for patterns so this is just a guide.
 I shorted a bunch of things today. If you have enough money to keep buying on dips then tqqq is ok I guess, I don’t know anything but I think tqqq could go to 21-22 I think Dgaz is a great overall short.

 Happy New Year!
 
 So my kids can follow my insanity...
 $2,000 at $48.12
 $3,000 at $44.77
 $5,000 at $40.13
 1st $10,000 tranche
 
 $2,000 at $36.33
 $3,000 at $32.82 (not posted over the holidays)
 $5,000 at $30.39 (not posted over the holidays)
 2nd $10,000 tranche
 
 approximate ACB $36.76.  Hence, my "flight" instincts told me to sell while I'm break even.  RSI(2) was over 87 and the market reversed today from a red opening.
 
 What have I fixed?
 - Pay attention to market direction.  Mac's Guppy have clearly shown the market turning down and yet I continued to "mechanically" follow the plan (which could have been a nightmare).
 - I have filtered to only include ETFs that are above the 200MVA
 - in hindsight, that was crazy...
 
 Still need to be fixed...
 - my mindset when it comes to pulling the trigger (overstay when the position is against me)
 
 DGAZ still going at $122 or $6.10 bfore the 20/1 reverse split!  Lucky on this?

 AAPL warns for the first time since 2007.  When they took the step to take out detailed disclosure on units sold...that was a good hint?
 
 
   
 Throw baby with the bath water time?  China slowdown?  Thank Trump?

 Lessons learned in 2018:
 - DMA was not a good indicator for me
 - one may be right in thinking the sky ain't falling but NEVER ignore the trend as it can keep on going for a while which means opportunity lost.
 - Any indicator in isolation will not help; in my case using RSI to build a position in a downtrend.
 - scaling in and position sizing helped
 
 So, the hunt for a simple "mechanical" plan continues!

 Looking for feedback from Options inclined traders...
 
 
   
 AMZN is about to report earnings in 2 weeks.  However, unless my eyesight is failing me and missed something, there was a $6.7MM trade 1710/1720 PUT expiring Feb 1st.  $60ish premium paid.
 
 Seems to go agains the grain in my newbie brains...what am I missing?
 
 Thank you
 
 Replaced my stock purchase of STZ with STZ Jan 2020 160C using $20.30 so I can free up cash ;=P
