    It does indeed seem most likely. I'm not totally convinced, though. My view is simply that the number coming out in ten minutes will be the deciding factor. People who are either bearish or bullish will then mistakenly attribute their analysis as skill when it was probably luck. I may be wrong.

    The daily chart is now set up such that everyone can be a hindsight genius if we drop or explode to the up side, i.e., it was obvious we were going higher/lower as the chart told the story. So, if anyone wants to make a prediction for today and tomorrow, let's hear it now. Not later. :)

    Ninja Trader seems not so good compared to TWS...

    That's odd. I live in Europe, so probably different servers, but never had an issue. I don't know about IB, but NT on it's own (software + brokerage) works great on my end. I've used it through thousands of trades and literally for years with zero issues to speak of. I'd say less than 5 times...

    Ninja Trader seems not so good compared to TWS...

    Well, I did warn you in the other thread that you need to lease/buy the software if you want full functionality for trading and that because of that AMP might be a better choice... :) If you're successful and trade long-term, $1100 is a small investment. Also, keep in mind you can probably...

    The market does appear like it's about to take off, but, we're still in a sell zone here, IMO. And with the markets being very news sensitive lately, I imagine tomorrows numbers is what will set up the next major leg. And that could very well be down. :) Just an observation, but I do count...

    Okay. I did another one. I'm a bit pissed now that I didn't push stronger today as it was really clear to me we were headed higher. If that quick spike didn't take me out I would probably have held that trade at least to 4020. Generally, I tend to swing for the fences when I'm in a drawdown and...

    One of those days, IMO. You can just sense that there's a strong bid in the market today. If this sells of today I won't post here in a week. :)

    NQ no gap fill yet. It may seem like a stretch, but I see 4045/50 today.

    I don't see the short side here save for a scalp. The odds of trading below 4006 by the Close are very low, IMO. If anything, we'll see another surge higher.

    So, we pretty much got the gap fill now. Another 10 point pop in 13 seconds. Curious if we get the Outside Day, too. At this rate it seems very much possible.

    Shorts getting carried out in body bags as we speak. Outside potential, i.e., 4050. Disclaimer: I'm just flat and watching. Had one of my major losses in the past from buying tops, so I'm not chasing this here, although this one may be different.

    Shorts are in a tough spot now. Squeeze, squeeze. Maybe I'll chase a breakout of 4012 or a pullback to 4005. Or maybe just call it a day.

    I had a limit order in place 1 tick below that failure point in case something happened while away from the screen, but I'll admit that I planned to trail it higher. I think my software must be lagging as the order literally filled before the candles printed on my screen. At that green arrow...

    4K and double top sellers most likely getting creamed here. Maybe a weak little pullback to lure more of them in. A drop from here would impress me. I just don't see it today.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    So incredibly predictable...:) If we get a nice green close today this was most likely just a minor pullback as we continue inching higher towards @schizo's target for now. That said, we got some big numbers coming up tomorrow and Friday which could shake up things of course. In both...

    We will most likely trade back inside yesterday's range today. I have 4009 as a possible failure point, but if that doesn't draw any attention we can go all the way to yesterday's close by end of today.

    4K dip buyers feeling the pain, yet...? :) The current high can be a major swing high for now or we might just be back-filling a bit. That's the tricky part. I'm day trader, so I'm glad I don't have to make those kind of grand predictions, but it's still fun trying to figure it out. The first...

    We’re in a potential sell zone here. I believe earnings are coming out left and right as well.

    That was close... :rolleyes: 4K dip buyers showed up early at 4005.25 for today's LOD, but not enough power to get a green close in RTH. Statistically, a green close today was unlikely, hence my call for today being a down day. Should be interesting to see where tomorrow and Thursday takes us...
