thought i would get on 1105.50 breakout scalp in rth today but was taken out with abu dhabi news last night. put on a sim short strangle SPY 111 put/112 call early in the morning, figured market wasn't going anywhere, 50 strangles made $500. a push to 1114.25 liquidity would be cool. maybe a...

No trades today, was late to the show. note ESH0, 1105.50 looks like a good level

2 trades early. Only difference, moved to 5 contracts. sim p/l: $139.50 1) Bought 1104.25 touch @ 9:34:07, a lot of orders on the ask and it couldn't even move through 1104.50, first warning sign. 2nd warning, 9:34:28 i'm showing 2,438 contracts move. Usually don't see the size move...

Just happened to be looking at T&S and i see someone try to move 97.50 pretty convincingly. Got long 97.75 touch, took off for +1 pt.

Didn't get to trade today but I left my computer on so I could gather the time and sales. Morning selloff would have been profitable but only a couple ticks, size came in at the break of every level, no sudden drops on breaks, most of the sudden drops occured within the range after volume...

1095 was a level I was looking to short in rth but it was taken out around 7:30 am. anywho, made 2 trades. sim p/l: +$105.80 1) price moving lower off open, liked the way volume setup, put on sell stop 92.50 with exit at 91.25. Right before I got hit the damn internet copped, so when it...

morning: no econ reports, levels @ 1095 and 1110.25-1111, 1100 intermediate downside

Sim P/L: $80.80 Missed the open, but probably could have got a tick or two at 1107 touch at 9:35 and out with the volume in the same minute. 1)9:53 long 1110.25 but not convinced with flow, consistent selling coming in as exploring high, got out for 1 tick loser, -$34.60. Was a good...

Sim P/L: +$186.60 3 trades. 1) Long 2 @ 1110.75 @ 9:37 touch of new high but as soon as it did volume came in and it sold off took a 1 pt loser. -$109.60 here. 2) Reading the tape and watching vol, felt bears were in control at 9:44 so sold 2 @ 1108 expecting it to head towards 9:30...

LIMIT ORDERS FROM THE GODS

Move was pretty clean, moved in conjunction with GC overnight breakout. GC running again tonight, if it stages a move up could carry ES to limit buy stops at 1112.25/1112.50. A quick upside scalp could probably be had there.

Day Summary: Sim P/L: $130.80 Points: (1) +3 ticks x 2 contracts: +6 ticks (2)+3 ticks x 2 contracts: +6 ticks Total: 3.00 points (1 contract basis) 1.First trade wasn't a volume read, just noticed overnight ranged after 4am with high of 1105, so bought 05.25 touch got out at 1106 as...

*note: just sim. Quick one early, long 05.25 touch to 1106. This was just a pre-market read, wedging overnight with 1105 as high, so 05.25 touch probably had some room to upside.

Indeed, all newbs do :) Can you contribute, where did you learn to read PA?

Day Summary: Sim P/L: $105.80 Points: (1) +2 ticks x 2 contracts: +4 ticks (2)+3 ticks x 2 contracts: +6 ticks Total: 2.50 points (1 contract basis) First trade was simple upside breakout scalp, two ticks, could have got more if waited for volume. Second trade, HELD a short...

There's the bogey I was looking for, 12k vol comes through at 11:28. Got out at @1088.25 for three ticks. $65.40 sim money on this one.

Short on the 89 touch got to 88.25 and then bounced back, should have taken the scratch but because it's sim I'm holding...never a good idea. But still think 10k vol should come through on the short side.

Just missed some real easy short scalps, doh. 86.50 may be on the table again though. *size waits at 1089 on the book. Gonna get short into it if it comes.

Indeed. Although I've read that his latest album isn't up to par. Not into industrial rap so I wouldn't purchase it anyhow.

note for myself: See if 1098.50 break up is clean move, no hesitation.
