If we actually get some real panic now, the biggest movers are usually the stocks that held up best and showed relative strength the longest. I'm thinking the cybersecurity names could be decent shorts here. Adding $RBRK and $CRWD to my focus list for tomorrow.

Been incredibly in sync with the market lately, just haven't been able to execute at the level I should have. Shorting is definitely not my strength. At least got some short exposure now, but wish I held my $HPE short.

$GOOG down. Cyber stocks down. $MSFT up, but into a big resistance level. I put on a $SOXL short here. Willing to risk a bit more on my short idea. It's a tiny starter. Might try to add to it tomorrow if it looks like market is rolling over again. Really just don't like what I'm seeing from the market right now.

Impressive strength today. Took a tiny loss on my short attempt. Didn't get the fade I was looking for, so not holding anything overnight. Some big earnings coming up now.

Took a few shorts at the open today. Stopped out of $LITE and still in $HPE. Might give $MU a try on a 30min pivot to the downside. 4-day bounce into the 50ma right now.

What's the best short setups right now? I'm only interested in shorting the most liquid names. Currently have my eyes on $HPE and $P as potential 3-day bounce short setups.

$QQQ bouncing back into declining moving averages. A gap up open above the MAs tomorrow maybe? Think it could be a decent short opportunity. Not seeing too many good short setups though. Maybe $LITE.

$QQQ bounce feels weak so far. A gap up tomorrow could be another short opportunity maybe, but not something I would get excited about. I'll most likely just wait for big tech earnings. $HOOD, $GOOG, $MSFT, $AMZN, $INTC, and $SNDK all reporting this week. No need to rush into things right now.

The more volatile and emotional the market gets, the cleaner the patterns become. They’re pure, unchanging human emotion on display. It's so fascinating to me how a simple chart can reveal the psychology of the crowd so clearly.

Important to not get lured into good setups right now. The setup don't matter in a bad environment. Something that took me a long time to learn.

No trades this week. Watchlist basically empty. $HTFL was the only good setup I saw this week. Need to see more to get involved again. Hopefully we get some more opportunities next week, but I don't mind just chilling in cash for a while.

Another down day tomorrow and then a Monday gap down would be perfection right now. Would probably use $TQQQ or $SOXL for that idea. I guess everyone is looking for that though, so probably doesn't happen. Lets see.

No fear yet. $VIX not even above 20.

$QQQ pretty textbook topping structure so far. Failed breakout, pick up in volume to the downside, bear flag into declining MAs and now breaking lower.

Looks like we're gapping down today. Was hoping for a gap up for these short setups, so will not be taking any now.

Whats the best short setups right now? I like $P, $DELL, $HPE, and $CRWD.

Not been doing anything this week. Most names look like bounces into declining moving averages to me right now. Might try some shorts if we gap up tomorrow.

Still a few healthcare names holding up. $MRNA, $HTFL, $LIFE, $CDNA.
