I’ve closed out all my May trades. There’s none left. They were closed for a profit and I regained a lot of ground with this fall in the RUT. Had it gone to 1080 or 1090 quickly, we’d have done better but I’ll take it, we were essentially break even on the May trades to finish up and recover about 30% of our max profit.<\/p>\n

I have no opinion on which way the market will move. We could bounce or we could continue down. I don’t have the foggiest even in terms of levels so I am keeping the trades nice and neutral. There’s a lot of negative headlines but the most furious rallies are amongst negative sentiment. The persistent shorting and subsequent buying pressure on covering can make for very intense up moves. These headlines are all old recycled headlines, nothing really new. Whoever would have sold due to those specific headlines, probably have already sold, they had their vote, a big sell-off typically requires some sort of new surprise headline to instigate other sellers to sell. All that said, man, we’re entering an interesting time politically in the US. Trump. I can’t see how things won’t get more volatile in the summer with that, the general negative seasonality and a lot of the global macro issues. All of my trades prefer volatility and down’ish moves. So I’d welcome that.<\/p>\n

I did enter some July trades last week, I’ll update the blog with those as well. I’ve been trying to get good pricing today but I haven’t got filled. I’ll wait and try again tomorrow.<\/p>\n
