Should have been long 93.25 touch in real account but was reading ET. On simulator: Long 2 @ 1095 touch, just got two ticks, volume didn't really pickup when exited, 1096 would have been ideal place to get out , 10k volume was the threshold I was looking for (10:31 bar). But even in sim...

ES was ready to touch 86.50 and find buyers below but Chicago PMI subscribers must have received the data at 9:42, crazy volume came through, 4 pt move in that minute. Still have sell stop limit 86.50 although the water is muddy now. May get long upside breakout.

Hey Mohd thanks for the input. Do you scalp index futs? Earlier this year I was just learning about options because of the volatility, didn't know anything about scalping/daytrading. I think the moves earlier this year/last fall were crazy profitable, all the breakouts, long & short, would be...

Update P/L: -$23.00 Ok got short 2 @ 1105.25 touch at 12:29:51 a lot of limit orders came in vol jumped to 7500 pretty fast and price didn't budge, but on a continuation breakdown lower I've seen the limits come through before and then price move lower so I held instead of taking the...

Hate overtrading but it looks right, short 05.25 on touch *12:25 good battle of the bots, similar to 11:29. not sure if that bodes well for my short though.

Good God that was brutal. Short 1107.25 and she just kinda floats around 1108, finally touches 1107 and some vol comes in a little at 11:52 so I clear out scratch 1107.25. Certainly thought more vol would have come through at 1107.25 touch. BSAM, IB broker, use IB/ToS and Quotetracker...

well i'm short and its looking like a loser god, as ron burgundy would say, MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE

if rejects 1109 again (10:58, 11:11) looking for another short 1107.25, level of home sales price move at 10am looking for runoff to downside exiting on volume, win or lose. *note: book is thick as fuck at 1107.25/1107. 3k+. Means everyone is looking for the same fucking thing or the smart...

update P/L: -$53.80 Despite losing in the morning I had a good feel for what was going on, made some back from the morning. 10:53:05 Price moving in a nice range on low vol looked like a good opp for some runoff to downside put sell stop limit 2 @ 1108.50, got hit and exited 1107.75 @...

P/L: -$119.20 Reading T&S spooked me, even tho had the two best longs of the morning. 9:33:59 - Long 2 @ 1104.25. New high on low vol looking for a good climax move to the upside but the amount of orders that came through on T&S spooked me out for a 2 tick loser at 9:34:39. Price made the...

Defense of 1086.50, bravo. Maybe short lived, but excellent performance.

P/L: $65.40 9:33 Long 2 @ 89.25 touch got out at 1090 once volume got passed 10k at 9:34. Could have been long 9:39 bar but was already contemplating calling it early. Monday.

No trades, a shame because strat is positioned to benefit from breakouts. Minor difference in ES price/vol pattern threw me off in the first five minutes. NQ/CL had the perfect setup but wasn't looking at them until after the fact. My only chance to get short was 9:45 bar volume flush, but...

P/L: -$69.20 Disappointed in execution. 9:35 Meant to put sell stop limit 1105.75 for the break, fuck me I put just sell limit which of course puts me short 1106. 3 tick loser. 9:43 get long 08.75 break looking for a couple ticks, bail at 09. 9:50 price coming back in, AGAIN...

P/L: $38.50 9:33 - got short 2 @ 98.25, price came back to it at lower volume (relative to 9:30 bar, 1min bars) vol came in though and pushed it back up, got out at 99.25. Though, if you're looking at a chart you can't really see what I'm talking about unless you watched the 9:33 bar paint...

No trades, no read on vol around consumer sentiment and eia nat gas. Also mods say can't talk about girls, so this will be much more boring :p

Starting balance and profit today.

~Queue bullet sound effects and rap music~ Howdy. Welcome to get rich or die trading, my new journal. Couple of incomplete journals before, have been focused on school. Have a good feel for my directional strat, so I'm going live. Only trading the morning, say 9:30-12est. ES, price &...

I second that, brass balls ammo! :cool:

Yeah I talked to another guy about the ES/NQ spread reversion, seems like a good trade at times. On the other side, is there a way to play the ES/NQ spread expansion (divergence) in options? Like a ratioed short NQ butterfly / long ES butterfly?
