ski, I noticed on Monday that you and phoenix had revived the wiggle thread and I think that's great. I'm glad that there is an active adjunct forum for people who like to hold their positions for only a few hours or a few days.

My style of trading usually involves holding positions for weeks or months, as currently I just don't have the time to trade (and therefore watch) very short term charts. I haven't made a single daytrade all year, and (except for trades where stops have been hit) my shortest term deliberate trade this year has been one that lasted nine days.

As I mentioned earlier, I see many signs that a near term top is at hand, and at the least we are in come kind of a C down from 11/23 on SPX. How long the after-Thanksgiving decline will last is anybody's guess, but here are some useful numbers so take your pick:

1207 .62 retrace of the move from the October low

1219 .50 retrace "

1231 .38 retrace "

1249 horizontal support, 11/30-12/1

1243 horizontal support, August & September highs (approx.)

1250 20 day sma (currently)

1220 50 day sma (currently)
