20250512 pre market



News
trade talks between us and china were positive

Condition 1 and 0
Very huge gap out of balance area
market opens 3% higher
oni very long

Thoughts
I do not follow large gaps early
large gaps often suck the life out of trade
Do not sit on the flagpole
wait for some balancing of inventory = liquidation

Thoughts
As we are a bit overextended/overbought it gets more and more risky to sit in longs
Wait for some liquidation before you look for longs

News
1000 MIchigan numbers

Condition 1
otf up / price exploring

Condition 0
We open with small gap up

Thoughts
Market is a bit overextended
There will be better opportunities after we have seen a liquidation and have a defined balance area
Do not anticipate a liquidation, wait until it happens
Do not sit in longs
