You're right, this is pointless. I'm ending this journal. Thank you all for participating. I wish you all the best! :)

Flow, I feel like you're the only one who understands me.

I'd like to ask everyone reading this journal to just focus on the charts that I provide everyday. Maybe you'll benefit from it, maybe not. I think a lot of you are caught up with the amount of points that I'm getting everyday. It's so irrelevant! From now on, I'm not going to post my point...

Today's results: 10:00 Long ES @ 892.50 14:15 Exit ES @ 892.50 * Reason for entry: Didn't look like the gap was going to fill. * Reason for exit: Trailing stop. Very tight range today.

I wouldn't classify myself as a scalper. I tend to stay on a trade longer if it's moving along its prevailing trend. If prices are indicating a trend reversal, then I would wait for a stronger development before jumping in. I also use a trailing stop at certain incremental price points...

I wasn't convinced about the direction. I was anticipating a continuation of the last uptrend but instead the price action was exhibiting a tight range to the downside . . . though not far enough for me to pull a short trigger.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into it.

No trades today.

I'm thinking about expanding to different markets using the same methodology. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer markets with a strong tendency to trend a lot (who doesn't? :) ).
