Monday’s stand aside decision vindicated – would have been mixed outcome and net loss
Penny saved is penny earned – avoiding loss equals profit, narrow range didn’t materialise but decision was right
Overall bear move from daily range highs to lows playing out nicely, futures trades now looking healthy
TnT trades flipping – SPX about to flip bullish to bearish, RUT already flipped bearish
In and out frustrating but small loss now better than hold and hope for wrong direction
Friday Pattern Repeats. Excitement Fades. Theta Collection Mode. | SPX Market Briefing | 17 Nov 2025
Friday pattern repeated: big sell off, bigger turnaround, but less dramatic bull reaction this time
Very little premarket futures activity suggests excitement faded, narrow range day expected
Big wick assessment potentially completing – consolidation likely
SPX and RUT both bullish on usual entry timeframes, theta collection mode active
AVWAP from swing low continuing to serve as management tool (worked well last week)
What a difference a day makes: Dow from moon shot to engine room explosion, everyone rescued by Naughty Bear
Uncle Russ leading bear charge, range low target approaching, Mag7/AI/quantum bubble lost mojo
Burry winding down fund (doesn’t understand market) – Big Short 2.0 top signal?
SPX reclaimed bull AVWAP managing positions, took speculative bear swing working, RUT same AVWAP setup
Wonder if huge bull turnaround before Friday finish again?
Dow in outer space at NATHs solo whilst Naz/S&P/Uncle Russ extended smoke break turned competitive tiddlywinks
Gold breakout continuing, bull trap party speechless from sidelines, oil torpedoed by Trump tweets to sensible prices
Everything normal, nothing to see, no droids, no news (still)
SPX bull swing on 30min “collecting ‘dat theta” as sung by Fiddy, RUT in rut pinched between AVWAPs (Bollinger pinch precursor?)
Premium Poppers fun (late start coding improvements, VWAP flop scalp lunch), Lazy Poppers proving trend unnecessary for Benjamin’s
Dow stood tall with moon shot: +1.25% nearly 600 points whilst other indexes enjoyed crafty smoke break
ES following premarket, NQ lagging (surprise), RTY lagging (not surprise), CPI tomorrow – mayhem or sell news?
SPX continuing bull from 6660 TnT low toward upper BB – nothing clever needed, just collect premium
RUT hit projected target from daily, grinding between bear/bull AVWAP (2470/2440), targeting 2540 for new ATH crack
Remembrance Day 11/11 – taking minute to bow heads and remember the fallen and those who serve
Grinding sideways, no new ground won/lost despite 100+ ES move yesterday, daily charts look uneventful
RTY wobble offering clues vs blue chip exuberance, gold leading reclaim with bull trap talk
Not forecasting – responding to system with firm over/under lines, using AVWAP from TnT levels for management
