I Got a funny email, it said, "With this sell off- When will you know that you're wrong?" - LOL Now I assume that the writer just worded that wrong and was really trying to say, "When would you know if this sell off was more than the normal correction that you expected?" OR Was that just a Freudian slip and the writer is telling me I AM wrong - when are you going to know that ?

WELL!!! I thought that I should offer up an idea or two intraday since the color RED is the color of the day . I do NOT want to become a 'BUY & HOLD' or 'WISH & HOPE' kind of trader...I look to see if I can see whats happening and when a trade starts to act in a way that I didnt expect, I have to try my best to numb the "EMOTIONS" and just look at the facts. So I snapped this PIC of an intraday chart , the sell off of GDX today.
Its NOT meant to be grasping at straws or "HOPING" I'm right...its just what is happening , What I see right now.
As you can see, GDX and GDXJ have pulled back to very 'RED' for the day
- But they are only about 1/2 way into that move off of Lows yesterday, almost a "Test" of the top of a cup.
