    Scalping the long side all morning while working from home. Always money to be made in this market even if you're late. When I speak about chasing, I'm generally talking about bigger moves and bigger stops. If I'm around at the computer and can monitor what's going on I don't mind chasing...

    How do you it's going to be a face ripper, though? It's a game of probabilities. Let's say only 1 out of 10 days or weeks is a face-ripper. Or 1 out of 10 globex gap up opens are runaway gaps. If you chase an entry on those other 9 days it probably won't help you much if finally get a face...

    It's only a problem if you chase after the bus trying to catch it and get hit by a car doing so. There's always a new bus coming... :)

    They always come, don't they? :) Should bounce off 25/26 now if this is just a shallow pullback. If not - watch out below for a deeper one.

    What happens at 3:50 est?

    Incredible to see the grumpy old-timers who think they know more than they do and try to act all cheeky and condescending. The OP answered a fair question and received a fair answer from a few.

    Nice. Gonna be a good week for you if you ride this all the way to 3800. :) True. I'd say going long wasn't hard for me yesterday, though. It was that gap up on Globex which threw me off guard. Nothing to do but pray for a pullback now. They always come although one can get euphoric and...

    I would say I'm neutral... :) I'm less happy about actually buying the Globex Open on Sunday and getting out way too soon. I knew this week could be a biggie to the upside, but nobody bothered to tell me we would go up in a straight line... Nothing to do but to wait for a pullback now. For...

    How often does Globex gap and go on a weekday without a gap fill? I'm not chasing this. I have a buy order in at 3701. If not, I'm happy to miss this. Which date is that? Didn't see it.

    Someone's in a hurry. I'm expecting this gap to fill around 3700 and will look for a long entry there if I'm still awake.

    What happens at 3:50 est?

    Yes. It's not uncommon with a spike around 15:50. FWIW, I'm usually not in the market then, but if I'm in a profitable position I may hold it. Otherwise, it seems a bit chancy.

    Bit of a tricky spot here, but I definitely want to get in a long entry overnight at some point or early tomorrow. Targeting 3735 - 3750.

    Too much in one day it seems.

    Fading today's rally.... Trade it or Fade it?

    Did I? I must have forgot. I don't really have a strong opinion either way.

    The biggest high % reading on ES so far this year is around 3.2 %. 3720 is 3.35 %. So, definitely pushing it in terms of what's "normal". Will pay attention to what happens at the HOD, but this looks good to the upside from my POV. EDIT: Calling it a day here. Too risky either side, IMO.

    The market does want to go higher today, doesn't it? With + 2,87 % already, the question is how high can we go?

    Fully correct. So, eventually we're going to see a move out of this range. It may not happen yet, but it looks like someone wants the current 30 minute bar to close green at the highs.

    Reversed off the mid-point almost to the tick. Technical trading.

    Usually choppy on a range bound session or following a larger move. Next major leg usually comes later in the session on a day like that.

    Triangulating. Those highs keeps getting sold. Lunch hour, so might not mean much. Let's see if the mid-range still holds up.
