Bought some S&P

I bought some S&P futures around 3:40 PM EST - I didn't see a lot of downward pressure around 3:20-3:40 when market on close orders are disclosed. I am thinking short term selling pressure is drying up. Pray for me. ;-)

By the way, this will negate the IBD "Day 1" setup. We start over.

That's outrageous and unacceptable mern. You have to find another place to trade.

This market looks very very shaky to me. I'm 'all in' short. Subprime carnage spreading like wildfire.

Put some money in a futures account in mostly T-bills. You can always short futures in any market. The margin requirements are small compared to stocks.
