    Lurking a bit on Twitter lately and it seems like everyone's getting it wrong.

    I’m logging off Twitter for now. There’s an impressive amount of noise and worthless opinions all over the place. Maybe the stuff worth reading drowns in the noise? Seems like it’s littered with perma-bears who’s expecting a market crash every day and generally people who consistently get it wrong.

    Flat at 39.75. Easy market this morning. Let's see if we hit 4150 from here or if we'll back-fill a bit from this area. Hard to say. Taking an early weekend here... :)

    Looks like 4150, doesn't it? I'll take 4140 for conservative measures if I can get it. Maybe the weekly 50 % at 34,25 could trigger a reaction lower.

    Strong open and no selling yet. Tough to chase this. Tough to fade this. Would assume higher as long as 4110 holds. Maybe 4135/50.

    Looks like higher for now, but maybe a pullback to around yesterday's high on the Open, so waiting for that and not chasing this here. Personally, no strong bias for now. I can see this revert back inside yesterday's range and possibly make a new weekly low as well, so not getting over...

    Too big of a gap, yes? Shorted 4101. 1.5 point stop. 10 point target. EDIT: Stopped for 1.5 point loss.

    Stopped for 1 tick profit. 92.25. Short again at 92, but will stop out at 94 or B/E if we go higher once again. Could be a churner going into NFP, so don't see any reason to press this or use a large stop. EDIT: And out 91.75 for another tick. A push to 4100 or a drop to 4180 seems equally...

    My data still says lower or a consolidation day at the lows is more likely than higher. So, shorting the top of the range here, but may not see much happening until post-NFP. Trading above yesterday's range in RTH and going back inside Wednesday's range will probably flip the bias to long for...

    How many years to get pro

    Maybe it’s possible in 6 months if you have a successful trader to mentor you which gives you close guidance. And no, I don’t mean trading coaches on YouTube. That will be the exception to the rule, though. For the vast majority of retail traders where you likely belong (as do I by the way) a...

    Never easy to be a late short on ES as it gets really snappy near lows. 4058.50 for a gap fill seems more or less certain by now. Next open gap below is 4001.25, but that seems like a stretch today, although it won't be even 3 % down, so certainly possible. Maybe tomorrow if this continues...

    Quick bounce of last week's LOW. Let's see if it breaks on the second test. 4060.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    IMO, we're in a tricky spot here at the moment. Initial down side target tagged and slightly "oversold" which could be a bottom for now. At the same time, there's a bearish bias for week end. Meaning that both longs and shorts could be tricky. Could easily trade back up to the Open and reverse...

    Flat at 78 on a trailing stop. +15.25. I have a hunch this will break, but the path may be rocky. Filled Wednesday's gap now, so technically it could be a short term bottom.

    Just watch for buy signals here. I see zero at the moment. Bidless market. Quick exit on a bounce. If 74 doesn't support this, well, HODLING short.

    1st target below is last Wednesday's close / gap at 74.75. Could get interesting if that does not trigger a bounce. Next open gap below at 59.50. First, last week's low at 4068.75. May not get there without some volatility, but I would assume the HOD is in for now.

    Covered this one on a trailing stop at 96 for +13.25. May just have given up a really good entry, but didn't want to risk it go all the way back into the Open. Primarily looking to short again, but probably not until the RTH Open. We can easily go bid on the Open, but I'll be looking to sell at...

    I hate being short, though. Seems like there's always a bid in this market except the few times I go long with a 20 point stop. :)
