The last 15 times that happened the market closed lower 71 % of the time for the coming Monday. EDIT: I stand corrected. That was for open below prior close and a negative net change. For the data in the quoted post the following Monday is negative only 53 % of the time. Still, what I first...

That's an 8.5% gain in one week. Since 2005 we only had 5 weeks with a weekly gain greater than 7.24 % and those were during financial crises and way higher volatility than we're currently seeing. So, obviously a completely unrealistic scenario for next week.

Not a compelling argument enough for you to let someone else (a stranger) trade your account/strategy. I would suggest finding another market. Plenty to choose from and I'm sure easier to trade than ES as well.

With futures it seems to me E2T is the only serious option, but I'm pretty sure it ain't worth your while. Check their drawdown parameters and see if your algorithm could work with that. The bottomline with all these firms is that they really don't want to fund you. So, it's a bit silly to do...

Wild moves. Was that 32 points down in around 4 minutes just after the cash close?

Not sure if you're just curious or if you're considering them. If it's the latter, just don't. It's pretty much a scam operation.

Instead of averaging down, I prefer to take the loss and rather re-enter. If, I'm proven right on that second entry, I'll see if I can add more contracts as price moves my way, i.e., averaging up. This ensures that full stop-outs are always taken on small size and you get the occasional big...

Interesting. I would think twice before averaging down in this market.

Not really. I posted it only to show the flaw in your criticism. Good for her. Give her my congratulations. Now, back on topic, please.

You’re posting a picture of your mom’s P&L in the ES-Journal? For what purpose? Not sure what you’re trying to prove here or do, but keep going. Next time, ask mom first. LOL. :)

Then you're the c***, not me.

Forget about the cash. Relative to my account size and today's daily range it's a decent catch, though. What you seemed to criticize was my analysis/call - which was right on the money. As for how I trade, I don't share all details here, but do write my commentary about what I see most likely...

What's funny?

Seems like "this way" ain't too shabby. 4180 tagged after bottoming out at: I couldn't help myself when I saw the market bottoming out, so I got back in long and added a 2nd contract on the pop above the HOD knowing for sure I'd get at least 80. So, that's 37.50 points on the day and the best...

If the current LOD breaks we will probably see yesterday's close. But can still make a run for a new HOD on the day from there. Tricky. Define "this way"?

I already closed down the shop for the day. 17 points. :) Just watching on TradingView from my soul sucking day job now. If the current LOD holds the expectation would be a push above the current high, but I'm not so sure how high this can go. Maybe 4180. Or maybe it will simply run. Say 4200...

55 is a potential turning point if we don't go all the way to yesterday's close.

Curious. As a day trader of ES exclusively, I'm curious what reasons you have for focusing on ES as opposed to every other index futures in the world. For me, there are two reasons. Time zone (I can trade it after work here in Norway) and experience with this contract. If I was starting out...

Could be. 50 % dip buyers saved the day for now... :)

Probably a lot of bag holders up here from yesterday's late session surge. I'm tempted to go long, but watching/waiting for a deeper pullback first.
