I've not yet participated today. I was interested in buying around the 5533.50 area where ES closed yesterday. The news pending had me keep to pure sim mode. Feel like waiting for the RTH to open at this point.

That was a heckuva trade, @Laissez Faire

End of month and end of quarter means either sideways or up, anything but down. Economy going gangbusters. 4th of July holiday week next week. USA! USA! USA!

At the moment your timing looks impeccable. Good luck, @Laissez Faire

Since 8:00 AM not one bar on the five minute chart has traded above the high of the bar before it. ES traded all the way up to last week's high and now all the way back down to last week's low at 5519, a level to be long from. This is possibly that low you are looking for @Laissez Faire

Institutions inducing dips, getting all the daytrading dentists ready for the next flash crash, only to pull the rug on them and jam price up once stocks and options start trading. This is my first week regularly trading ETH. My results have been opposite of mt RTH trading. Shorts tend to...

Same here. Yet the first trade of the day for me was this short trade for +3.5 points. Target hit and waiting for my next set up. Update: Another little scalp using 1 minute bars against the 60 minute bars. Another day with +5 points in the premarket hour. I could get used to this :cool:

If 40 hits I feel the next leg higher will have begun.

Same situation as yesterday. I have a day job that from time to time requires my attention. Two trades and very similar to yesterday where the long was stopped on a trailing stop, the short hit my profit target. The long trade hit my profit target but I prematurely moved my trailing stop...

I no longer watch anything other than ES when I am trading. When I see NQ making a move opposite of what the ES seems to be doing it gives me paralysis. When I do look at the NQ once I'm done trading, I see all those tasty ticks it offers in comparison to the ES's sometimes meager offerings...

I have to do some of my "real" work today and only have 8AM to 9AM this morning to trade. Two trades netted just over 5 points of profit. Not going to push my luck and give it back.

He's one of the best I've seen on here, without a doubt.

You've become quite the pessimist the last few days, @Laissez Faire ;) I don't feel qualified to make predictions. However, when I look at the weekly chart, a similar gap from the fall never filled. Maybe this one doesn't fill either? For tomorrow, the levels I'm looking to buy are Friday's...

You're going to have to change your name from theapprentice" to "thejourneyman."

I wish I could get a five minute chart to plot inside the daily ohlc bars. I feel that would be instructive for me. If price were to have broken above 5845, the levels I'd look to for guidance are easy to see on the daily bar chart. Today's high of day, 6/18 open & 6/20 close, then...

I would prefer to trade for the big legs. Many of my trades go +5 or + 6 points, and then I'm stopped for a minimal profit or a small loss. I go back and forth in my mind between which would be the better plan. Should I hold and trail a stop hoping for the 20+ point moves that I feel I...

This reminds me of the play on statistics where someone would say "80% of the time it works 100% of the time." You might want to consider that 20% of the time it doesn't do what it does 80% of the time? It tested yesterday's low. It tested the post Fed breakout high. Looking at a daily bar...

I decided during my little two day vacation that I would add pre-market trading to my plan. I do wait until any news scheduled for 8:30 AM has been released. I'm very tentative, which means I have some fear of this time. Here are two trades for today premarket. The first was a proper set up...

I'm watching two levels. Yesterday's low at 5525.50, and last Wednesday's high at 5518.75. 18.75 was the high of the Fed rate news breakout. Then this Monday ES broke out of that high. Yesterday's low has my eye because it was yesterday's low. 5518.75 has my eye because it would be a...

TWD?
