Dip Buyers

Well the market didn't disappoint the dip buyers.  I got in a bit too early and ended up averaging down, but the key today was to get long under 1135.  Because I believe we will be trading back over 1140 on the ES by tomorrow.  Today was about building a long position, not daytrading.  Targets for the ES is 1142-1144 area.  I believe dip buying will work till Friday.  After options expiration, it will get trickier.

Owl,who was your mentor for trading? You have some good comments here. I saw the volume come in last 15 Min today and got long (actually before that a little so I'm down a bit going into tomorrow. Stocks should lift in tomorrow's session.

You are correct that in most cases expiration dampens volatility and prevents trend changes from occurring until post-expiration. But once in a blue moon the opposite happens and a reversal is exacerbated by expiration.

No mentor, I just learned by trading and gaining experience. I never paper traded or tried to develop any systems.
