fudge the fed

Closed out the May Condor position for a gain of 7.5%, and added a Short position for June at 1920.

The weakening oscillator adds to my suspicions that a down move is coming soon and that the perceived risk is to the downside. Sell in May and then Buy it back again.

S&P500 intraday LONG Signal at 1866

With the move above 1866 a Buy signal is occurring. Be prepared for a whipsaw back to the short side in the next few days. Stop and reverse position below 1851.5. The oscillator is starting to give a sell warning signal indicating weakness – I will hold the earlier L/T short position from March 12 as a hedge.

Cancelling the S/T Sell signal registers a loss of 24 points
