Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up! Never giving up!
No matter what, I never thought about giving up the first eight years, then "Drama Queen" became my "Beloved Queen" for last two years after I learned Harmonic Trading patterns.

Sell-off.Day#14
BullTrap.BearTrap.ShakeOut.Hit&Run type of day for EOM.EndOfMonth Window Dressing
ITP.InflectionTurningPoint@2603=October'sLow that reversed 40 points in 15 minutes... that ending the decline.
So, now what? Going toward TUE US Mid-term Election Day? More like over 100 points in either or both direction, limit down in early overnight session.
It could be "pump & dump" as shown in attached Weekly chart.
Enjoy!

Where was I?
I was planning for staying up to watch the election night results with Papa John's Pizza and Belgium beer, but I crashed with a "Dizzy Spell".
I couldn't even stand up straight; I wanted to throw up but couldn't. When I finally threw up... every thing I ate since Sunday dinner came out that made me so weak.
I couldn't even walk to the kitchen for food. I managed to reach a bag near my day-bed for chips, butter biscuits, and ginger ale soda. That's all I ate... laying down, dozing on/off in between the election night results.
Turned out, I have "food poison" that made me dizzy on/off since Monday&Tuesday but I thought it's because of my new reading glasses that I bought on Saturday.
Nothing else I could do yesterday but watching TV all day... from Good Morning America, Good Morning Texas, to Oprah's Favorite Things... that's just too much for a person that do not watch the news, last ten years.
I was able to monitor intraday chart on Investing.com via phone only.
Two Swing trades L2638 and L2702.50 are still intact for higher targets.
That's the only good thing about my illness--"trade it and forget it".
Check out the Quick Summary Post section where I have links to 2016 US Presidential Election: my 1440M Chart-Journal and Journal from FIO member @SoftSoap.
His journal would be very educational "Crash" material for newbies.

TUE Election Day, THU FOMC Day on New Moon
US Mid-term election resulted as predicted; so no wild swing, no 100 points "Pump&Dump"... More like grinding higher to new high, but not on FOMC Day.
Again, failed to break-out as last time;however, there was not evidence of massive Bears attacked yet... although there was Selling Volume increased at 4pmET Friday.
Watch Sunday reOpen and Overnight trading for direction.
Oh, no major news next week but possible low volume on Monday due to Bank Holiday in US and Canada.
LIS.LineInTheSand:
Bears@2825-2820 at DoubleTop 2reTested ptB4Gray.beCypher on 240M chart. There is a beShark pattern with 2nd T2853 in the picture now. Bulls @2766 IF HoldUp THEN Look4 T2795RTHpreviousLow and has to gain T2800-2811 for going higher.
What's in Play?
SwingL2638 T2877 (see chart from posting 1S2K4ES#1.Review.Weekly)
addSwingL2773 T2851
SwingS2812.25 retesting Feb's low or to new low
addSwingS2804.50 T2651 retesting break-out point for RS of InvertedH&S pattern
That's all for my weekend homework and trading plans.
Enjoy and Happy Veteran's Day!

W#46 SUN 11.11.2018 reOpen Trade
Retesting Friday's low after SUN reOpen, took 2 contracts as intradaySwingL2776.25
Not break-out of 2795 RTHpreviousLow. so taking profit on one before going back to sleep.
Goodnight!
MON 11.12.2018 Bears attacked?
FailedBO again, so 1Runner from SUN reOpen L2776.25 and FRI addSwingL2773 stopped out BE. Should have trailing stop, huh?
Now what?
addSwingS2804.50 is sitting pretty, but placing a trailing stop and adjusting for higher target... just in case
@2731 50EMA on Weekly Chart would hold up.
Scalp.IntradayL2741.50 to retest @2764.50 Friday's Low
Enjoy!
