In reply to Mikeflegel. Good luck with that. At least get out before Powell cuts rates by 1/2 point.

In reply to ianmac. That (first one: temporarily pull the stop & stay short). The R/R on that trade was already unusually tight (small) relative to the final target (T5), actually better than 8:1 (I had previously mentioned I thought it was around 6:1). Typically, I will use around a 3:1 R/R. As such, QQQ could have an unusually big day (3%+) tomorrow or Thursday & that still would only result in a loss of about 4% on the trade (vs. the 8%+ profit potential to T5, based on the initial entry).

What does suspending your stop mean? Does that mean you are keeping your position open with no stop during 9/10 or are you closing your short position.
