Hard to say, but I would pay attention to last week's mid-point in RTH. That's 3995. So, maybe 3995 ~ 4000 for an initial target to the upside. The larger target would be the close from last Monday, i.e., 4130,50. That's for ES by the way.

Your guess is as good as any... :) I'd say the playbook I put forth this weekend is acting out fairly well so far, i.e., we'll see run towards 3900 and we will either trade back into that range or it will be rejected. So far, it was rejected as of yesterday's close and overnight action...

Whippy take-your-profits-and-run kind of market today, @Scataphagos. How would you navigate such a market? That would be a market lesson I'd like to have. Thank you.

LOL. I can recognize that feeling. It certainly is harder to navigate a bear market due to the vicious pullbacks and bear market rallies.

I think tomorrow will pivot us either up or down. It's probably that simple. Which way I think is anyone's guess, but even if it's a rally, it seems odd if we were to put in a bottom here for the medium/long term. But who the hell knows...

My only complaint is I wish it was smaller, but it's hard to know where to draw the line. I've been down about $1K in the past and easily turned it around. I decided to shut off today because I was not really in tune with the market at the moment and knew it would require a tremendous move to...

You as well? Tell us you're human, LOL. :)

Can't only post my wins. First losing day in a while and a humbling day. I read the market OKAY, but traded it shitty. Got chopped up on the Open with poor entries and tight stops, so that was what put me in the deep initially. Incredibly, that 93,25 print on my long would have made my day...

That's great, @mervyn! Would you mind sharing with us pikers how large an account you're trading? Doubling your account in a month is awesome.

Bounced off a supply zone there on the hourly. Could still rip to where I said initially, I think.

That was not supposed to happen, boys. Out B/E on that trade. No short trades for me today, I think. May take another shot at the long side if we hold the midpoint here. If it tanks, I think it will be without me.

NQ reversed off yesterday's close (a few points shy). Looks like a normal pullback to the breakout area so far. Weekly mid-point here at 86. If we get a new thrust above the current HOD, I'll trail my stop as I would expect us to to run on that second push.

86 is the weekly mid-point so far. Maybe a minor pullback. But I don't think I should be taken out B/E if the kind of day I'm envisioning will materialize.

Hats off to those who managed today's chop or had the foresight to stay out of it. I'm only glad I had the discipline to say stop before it got really bad (like have happened in the past).

Got my add. Risk free ride swinging for the fences. Might trail this one.

Come and take my 1 lot, bots. If you're reading ET. :) If I weren't in drawdown, I would probably have trailed a tight stop here and called it a day, but I "need" a big one today. And I think I have a good shot at getting it.

I wouldn't see us dip much below 70 if higher on the day. FWIW, my long entry is a late one at 73, so obviously not loving this PB. Game plan is the same. Add on a BO higher. Not so sure I want to play the short side today if we go lower as I suspect it will be messy.

Those "choppy" moves on today's Open did a good number on me. Hardest day in a while for me, but still time to salvage the day. Positioned long here.

My simple and naive observation is that we had the opportunity to sell off, but we didn't. So, I perceive what's going on now merely consolidation before a new push higher. But as I said. It's simple and naive. :)

And a hurdle it was... They're not making it easy for us today. What would surprise me today is if we reversed hard from here and sold off, but in this volatility it has to be considered as an option. Most likely from my POV is that we by end of day breakout above 3885 and hit 3900...
