Expecting ES to sink towards 1343-1344 and will closely watch the price action there. So far, probabilities are good for another leg upwards from there as long as they keep it clean above 1340 level

Watching for the 1377.00-1380.50 area as an important resistance for tomorrows trading. Would be short around 1378-1379 on signs of first weakness, to ride a downmove of about 20 points from there. Also, longs from around 1342-1345 look good to me for now.. to ride it up to that 1380 first.

That's an RTH-based pivot level right? I look at the 24hrs session pivots so I missed that one. Nevertheless, it means even more confluence. And it's worth keeping in mind for the future. Thanks. EDIT: seeing one more low-risk chance here. Long at 1308.25, -2.75pts stop (1305.5). EDIT...

Yes it was - went against a steep intraday downswing, but the odds were decent enough by price and volume patterns. That stop-out voids my vision for todays action so that was probably my only trade for today. EDIT: seems I was faked out, because entered too early - above a larger...

Long from 1314.50, stop 1310.50 (2 ticks below the recent consolidation low). They're trying to push it back above the globex pivot and might have put a DB in on 1/2min chart here. Target is at least +12.00pts from here (1326.50). EDIT: correction.. that's 1 tick below the low (which was...

I'd enjoy a lot more commentary from you, avarus. There's no point in letting some bashing newbie stop your contributions to this thread. I find your observations and your visions very interesting and inspiring, to say the least. As readers of this thread, some should understand that this is...

Yup, it certainly involved a good dose of luck to lock in something nice here. Sure does feel GREAT to be this lucky as rarely as it happens.. I see the low-tick exactly at 1301.50 before a lift back up to 1314.00 AND I covered with a market order. Yup. That makes my day, or even the week, I...

Covered @ 1301.50 for +14.50pts

Market still grinding upwards, though it looks heavy. Keeping stop at -3pts and a lmt order to cover at 1294.25 in case the moves get too wild..

S 1316.00, -3pts stop. Tgt 1301.50

I'm looking at 1314-1317 as the primary key level for the rest of the day, but am not taking any positions due to little confluence in this area. We've broken stronger areas below and had quite a bull run up to the current levels, but the multi-day trend is still down so far. If they take it up...

I just examined a 5-tick chart a bit and noticed these two moves that lasted about 5 seconds altogether: started 10:06:23 from the low of 1289.75, ended 10:06:27 at the high of 1310.50 and then about 1,5 secs later, we touched 1292.50. So that was.. 20.75 points up in 4 seconds and then...

30 points in 4 minutes.. ugh.. sorry, not my kind of market today. Staying on the sidelines, keeping the learning mode on. EDIT: ya, bear market slides sure are beautiful at times.. sure wish I'd know how to trade this volatility. Haven't learned that yet.

regal_2012 should shut up now, for good. Though.. I doubt he's more solid with his promises than his calls... *LOL* I still haven't figured out, how you did it, avarus. But I'm going to :)

Bravo, avarus. Excellent precision. Which one's more important in your analysis: volume (and volume patterns from preceding price action) or swing/leg projections of the recent moves?

Position reached +9.00pts, moving stop down to +6.50pts EDIT stopped out for +6.50pts EDIT damn..tightened the stop too much there. now at 1321

Position reached +5pts, moving stop to breakeven here (1333.00) due to a heavily countertrend trade.

Important key area here at 1330-1333.. short from 1333.00 with a tight -2.5pts stop, expecting at least 1320.00 . This market's got some upside momentum still hidden in it, but we're in a bear market longer term, so lots of vulnerable long positions up here. EDIT - taking about the ESH8, of...

Filled 1317.75, stop at 1321.50 EDIT stopped out.. wtf was that..

Putting in a sell LMT order to 1317.50, stop -4.00pts
