NQ is at 1451 up 29 point. ES is at 1088 up 15.5 point. Likely play may be fading the gap as the long road is still ahead after the news.

1.25 point. Two shorts at 1057.25 and 1057.5. Covered both at 1056.75 before GLOBEX nightly shutdown. Original targets were set at 1056.5 and 1056.25, but it's not worth of uncertainty leaving the short position over next session. Session low was 1056.25. There were fills at 1056.5 at this writing, but my order was not at the head of the queue anyway.ES

All indexes were up today. However, the volume was average. Tonight, I'm setting a short setup @1059.25 with target @1058.25 and stop @1061 above today's high. Let's see how it works later.ES

1.25 point last night. 1 point today. Mostly it's done by auto-pilot, that is, the order was set up and run its course (stopped out or hit the target). No monitoring and no emotion either.GE

Closed GE at loss. GE lowered projection for the Q4, which probably explained in hindsight why it didn't move up much once it hit 31 (obviously people with inside information were unloading at 31 level therefore the resistence could not be broken) and original target of 32 was DOA. Using a scale in/out strategy would probably work better since we would book partial profits at 31 level.ES

Tonight, 4 round-trips (two longs and two shorts), all winners. Gained 2 point in 1.5 hours. ES moved back and forth between 996.25 and 995.
BTW, scaled out QQQ Oct 32 Puts opened a while ago. It's a losing position, but this recent drop is definitely an opportunity to reduce the loss.

- A decade of zero price gains, two burst bubbles, and a wave of successive credit crises may have set the stage for a huge bull rally, says Citi's Tobias Levkovich. A housing recovery, progress towards energy independence, and a number of other forces will align to spark the start of a bull market at some point during the next 12-18 months. Levkovich adds, “While we do not expect the markets to react to these drivers in the near term, their coalescence could generate a much more impressive rally over the next few years.”
