Yes, that's right. I live in Canada now after living in UK for 10 years.
I grew up in India but left 20 years ago. The farm in the picture is in India. That SKINNY cow is definitely Indian breed.
We also have 2 Indian Pariah breed dogs in my farm but didn't want to post pics as @Big Mike will start sending food for them They all look thin despite what we feed and I blame it on the weather.
My swing position stays the same. 1 ES Short from 1950, added another position 1905 on NFP day. In hindsight, I should have exited my second position at 1944 but the strong bounce threw me off guard. Taking heat but it's manageable due to my account size. Moreover, my premise for short persists until 2011 is taken out on big volume. Until then, I am going to be patient and just observe.
In the meantime, I am just testing a new execution style, similar to ACD but using Volume Profile concepts. The goal is to improve my discipline using fixed targets and stops rather than actively managing. It also allows me to have more day-trading experience despite my 90 mins trading restriction. Response from other members is very encouraging too. Since it's with 150 SPY ALL IN entry and scaling out, expense is fairly low for the experience I get.

As you said, today started to show the qualities of becoming a range day rather than a trend day after the 1st hr. We need different strategies depending on the market context.
