He doubled his short position big time.

Sad story. It is impressive though how he can still short 500 contracts, because he and Attila started shorting aggressively this thing since 700 ES...

Interesting. I don't see the capitulation. Defiance is more the word I would use. He's been short all the way up... and now he's shorting 500 more contracts. More a case of playing with his marbles for 5 minutes at a clip than playing all night until momma takes them away.

Atilla is short from 948 not 700, if his twitter is not twisted

Been there got the T-shirt, coffee cup and matching baseball cap (I know I paid for it :lol: ). Many years ago and I am sure there is plenty of company on this board too that this has happened to at least once. Price of tuition if he learns from it.

These guys capitalized on the crash... Did you?

I dont think 10 point moves you collect can put you in the same class.

Nope Mr.Octopus. He tried to short ES more than 20 times since 700.. Always stopped out. 948 was his last attempt.

It sounds to me he closed his IT short positions and then re-entered for a short term trade...

Again it is all on his twitter account, when he gets stopped, he posted. He is not short from 700, you are lying.
