As mentioned yesterday. We're almost here, now. And just about about filled that gap. Either this level will be rejected (but may not happen before tomorrow?) for a reversal or we'll trade back above this 3900 level and continue higher. Looks and feels (careful) pretty damn bullish now...

Although it could be tempting to join that final pop to 3920 which I think is coming. But it's far from certain, so with a lot of intraday biases already fulfilled, why risk a good day's work? :) 19,50 ES points today.

WTF was that. 10 points BO faster than I could blink (and move my greedy limit order). Took a few more scalps on the long side. NOW, I'm done. :)

Market's in a range. I definitely agree with @schizo in that we might be stuck until FOMC. Maybe a pop to 3920 to fill that gap.

What the hell did I just watch... :)

Something similar, yes, but intraday. I think trading needs to be aligned with the metrics of the market you're trading. So, if you're trading ES short term intraday, the market rarely moves 10-20 points without a good retrace. So, get out on a limit or trail a stop aggressively behind price...

88.75 is still a possible failure point intraday, but we might have a chance to regain that 3900 range if we trade above 3890 now. I'm starving. Had a 9 hour workday and got right to trading. Might have to be satisfied with this for today.

Had to take that breakout. It was too obvious.

IHS in place intraday over the last hour. Let's see if that can trigger a breaekout to 88,75 (where it still can fail and reverse). Not participating at the moment. Just watching. Still a bit of a bear, but can't marry that view.

And out for 6 points. I still think it's possible we have the week high here and I may have stopped out on noise, but it would be a shame to not take anything off the table. If there's one mistake I made in the past it was that I was often swinging for the fences a bit too often giving back many...

Locked in 6 points. Either this will be a nice scalp or a good swing.

Screw it. I'll take it off for one tick and rather re-enter as I'm around to manage it now. But basically we're following my thesis from yesterday now. The initial attempt at 3900 failed, so I'm watching for a reversal from here now. If we blast higher, we could take it out on a second chance.

We could have the week high here, boys. When I saw those beautiful tails above 3900, I was practically running from work to my computer to catch an entry. I'm short from 86,50. Will give it some room to breathe for now. 5 points. If we tank - I will probably just hold this week.

Please take the time to re-read my first and second post in this thread. I specifically said that 10 years is a good approximation for a retail amateur on his own in order to have a fighting chance at success. There's certainly no guarantees. If anything, I said this to give the OP a sense of...

How come? Probably true.

I wanted to short 70 before heading to work, but didn't like the R/R not being around to manage the position. And now we're close to 50. If I can get on a good short entry in today's RTH session and I like what I see, I may try to hold until end of week with a B/E stop. I think we can have a...

If you read my prior post, I said 10 years is likely a good estimate for how long it would take a retail amateur to have a fighting chance in the markets. I also said that day trading can be very lucrative for a select few, but not for the many. Price is clearly not moving randomly. Although of...

And that's assuming we even get a test of that 3900 level. The last 2 times we printed a similar structure as that of Friday - the market tanked the following Monday. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and see where we open first.

Next week could be a biggie to the downside. I suppose it's all contigent on the FOMC come Wednesday. 3900 have been a good supply zone, but it broke by end of last week. I'm mainly looking to see if we can have a test and rejection of that zone or trade back above that level. If 3900 fails...

A look at where we're at and where we might be going... SPX Monthly Price is contained between supply at approx. 4150 and demand at approx 3785. There was a failure to breakout of this zone starting at the 10th of August. It looked promising for a while, but turned out to be a massive failure...
