    Volume pocket in the 4100 area filled... :) Still in play... I'm not as bullish as many others, so I'm being cautious up here, but that 4230 tag looks very much possible by end of week. Even as soon as tomorrow. I suspect this rally would (could?) lose steam going into that 4250 - 4300...

    Only if you have an early entry or don't trade with leverage... :)

    Is that @themickey approach? As far as I understood he's bearish for this week. I did okay today buying weakness, too, but like @mervyn admits to I also had a great deal of luck today. If Powell had commanded the market lower before higher I would have stopped out.

    Wild moves. Not for newbies like me... :) 50 points of heat per contract? That takes some conviction.

    See prior post. I got lucky from 16,75 to 45 on 2 contracts. But was in drawdown from pre-market, so not a great day, although green.

    LOL. And now talking them down. Easy come. Easy go.

    + 30.00 higher than my exit point now. Oh, well. :) I've no idea what Powell is saying, but clearly he's talking up the markets. No non-event after all, @mervyn...

    Came back from a trip to the restroom and found that this had happened. Was prepared to take a + 10 trailing stop exit, but the market started running and I planned on trailing it at 40, but my limit was taken out too fast. A poor trading day for me and I got lucky by this trade and ended the...

    Is that a bearish call? I'm long and worried. Will stop out B/E regardless, but it was looking good for a while.

    Yeah. Unless we reverse hard below 4120, i.e., a false breakout, we should see 4140/4150 by the Close. Assuming Powell doesn't say something silly. I assume he could even say something bullish.

    Let's see now... Gap from yesterday closed.

    Agreed. Got my trigger just now, though. Let's see if I was trapped or not.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    Does anyone have any thoughts on Powell talking later? A non-event or what? I'm stubbornly bullish still, but not entering anything yet unless we get a good move above the Open. Say 4115. Even if we go lower I see 4100 as major support / demand, so it's not an easy short here either. IMO at...

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    I can see that happening. I'd probably be looking to re-enter long if we see low 4100 or below, though. Unless momentum should pick up to the down side. I don't know. I see many reasons to be bearish from a fundamental viewpoint, but in terms of prices I struggle a bit to be too bearish, here...

    4150 today if this LOD holds?

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Depends on how you define a scam. I'd say most of these firms come very close as they promise something they're not really delivering. So, that's not unique for Apex. With Apex, they say they're offering funding and a proprietary firm. As far as I understand it you're trading on a simulator...

    Opening gap down and we're likely to see a move lower on the Open, yes. Could be a buying opportunity, though.

    Well, you don't have to reveal any details... :) I use among other things what I call a statistical model (inspired by a prior poster on this site), but I don't share any details. For what it's worth, I think there's a good chance we bottomed out here for the week. Clearly, there's a lot of...

    What is your analysis based on if it's not a secret? Powell's speaking today a bit past noon. Could shake up things.
