A new milestone today S&P 500 tops 7,000 points!
My own portfolio reached new highs before being massacred by the sell-off.
-0.4%, insane drops.

Down 1% yesterday and another 2% today. I really need Trump to invade Greenland this weekend! 
Just checked, new all time high in USD, CHF and EUR. Currencies are so boring, almost no action compared to stocksâŠ

With a $50 cost basis on TQQQ itâs starting to feel like the second dam (200SMA) may be breached by March if it continues like this.
I could use low futures for a bit though as I just made my finpension payment and they still need to buy securities tomorrow.

chspi + 1.36%.
What happened?
Day trading would have been very unnerving for me. (i know no daytrader trades indexes..)
Swiss people have swiss stocks and gold (and chocolate and watches). Lots of, rich guys.
Swiss robots have end of month rebalancing, thus gold is falling and stocks are going up.
Iâm out 
They absolutely do, but with options going leveraged long or short.

Then according to what @JEPG says it seems logic what to do with options

CHF / USD fell, so stocks corrected as lot of income of Swiss companies is generated abroad

Wow. The move in XOM really caught me off-guard. My buy orders have been left in the rear-view mirror. I was really hoping to buy in the $80s and $90s and even had orders at $100.
Try Funari. Can be simulated in IBKR.
It is a dilemma. You think a stock will go up, but you want it to come down for buying. I use (as almost always) a compromise:
I use simulated funari orders, I think a Japanese invention. The order stands as limit until shortly before the market closes and then converts to a market-on-close order.
You simulate this in the Trader Workstation (TWS) as two orders with the same One-Cancels-All (OCA) label, one is a limit with a GTD (Good-Til-Date) 15 minutes before the market closes (for NYSE, for NASDAQ you could use 10 minutes I think, but with 15 you are on the safe side). The second order with the same OCA label is just a Market-On-Close (MOC) for the same number of shares.
I use this order type for over 20 years and never had a double execution. For the price difference, this is maybe one of the only places where the technical analysis helps, maybe the Average True Range.
Depends a bit on the stock market, but U.S. markets tend to have nice liquidity in the closing auction. And still, you may get it cheaper during the day.
