S 1512.25 BS 1516.25 PT 1508.25

That's pretty cryptic. Care to elucidate? :confused:

Stoppped out at break-even. Now flat.

Lowered BS to 1504.50 (break-even)

S 1504.50 countertrend BS 1506.25 PT 1501.25 (gap fill) Looking to go long at or blo 1500

Whew! Glad I stuck to my bail-out plan!

I'm out at 1502.75 for a push. :( Yeah, tomorrow is another day... I guess any day you don't lose money is a good day.

So far, support at 1503.50 is holding (just barely), and resistance at 1505.00 is resisting. :) If the ES breaches 1505.00 to the upside, I plan to double down on my long. If it goes below 1503.50, I'll probably bail out of my position for a push and look for another opportunity to go long.

I went long at 1502.75 and am still long. I show that we're now above resistance at 1503.50 and the next resistance is at 1505.00. If we can get above 1505.00, I think we can go to 1509.00. My protective stop is at 1502.25 and I will raise it if we get above 1505.00. Suddenly I feel like...

Just trying to prove my manhood, Jimmy. :D

Closed out position at 1501.00 for +1.5. That was like watching paint dry.

Lowered buy stop to breakeven (1502.50).

Lowered buy stop to 1503.50

Short at 1502.50. Rule of 10. (Where's Volente when you need him?) Stop at 1504.50 (+2) Initial target 1499.75 (2.75 points) Countertrend move, prepared to pull the plug if the price action looks bad...fingers crossed.

Apex, you are truly awesome! I'm up 11.25 points on the day...a personal best. And I completely missed the opening decline (set my opening short order 2 ticks too high and didn't dare chase it down). I'm going to take the dog for a walk and enjoy the rest of the day...and hope I don't...

I guess they're back from lunch. :D

And it looks like you may get it! :)

Apex82, why are you still looking to go long? Why wait for 1491 to go short? Today's ES action was a decline from 1492.75 to 1482.25, then a 61.80% retracement to 1488.75. Per the chart you so kindly posted last night, why would you not expect another decline from here (1488ish) through the...

This may be part of the problem I've having: I show the open of this morning's first bar of ESH07 as 1429.50, not 1431.25. I wonder why our charts are different by 3 ticks?

BH, could you elaborate on your +/- 6-tick opening breakout strategy? I saw you talking about this late last week, but when I backtested it over the weekend against 3 months worth of 1-minute data for the ESZ06, the results were not good. I tried back-testing it two ways: one with a...
