Stop on runners moved to even ... bounces at this point should stay below 70 if the day's trend is to remain intact.

Absolutely. When I started day trading I tried to go for a bunch of small hits but found the stress too great. Now I wait for a few set ups at what should be significant price levels and then based on Volatility and ATR I take 3 to 10 points on a paycheck portion and let the others run, unless...

Gotcha. We both day trade, but you are more of a scalper, and I am more of a swing trader. Good luck to you!

ES has been trading between the 50% and 61.8% of the 2018.5o high to 2011.25 low. Almost everything since last night's globex close/re-open has suggested a break below rather than above that range, e.g. breadth, tick, NQ, YM ... All week I have thought we'd see 2600 or lower trade this week...

Just got my +10 points on my paycheck portion, and the runners will keep the 3 point stop loss.

Short 76 3 point stop

I've always found it easier to just take the first loss and go with the flow of the market myself. I will occasionally "pull" or, rather "pause" a stop loss to make sure T&S is, in a sense, confirming the adverse move. But I will stop out rather than average a loser, everytime. Too much to...

You sunk my battleship

You show all those naysayers, b1s2!

You were targeting 1 tick, Handle?

Now all out at 56 or 61.75 whichever first ... but probably won't risk the whole 3 points back to 56 for the sake of 2.75 to 61.75 ... watching T&S

Long 51.75, all out at 50.25 or 61.75.

Short 2650, stop 52.25, as always I take some at 10 points if I can get it, and the rest will run for the day. EDIT: Not that this has changed anything, but my stop is actually 53.25

I was not aware of this. Frankly, the PDT doesn't affect me and never has. However, I often thought it a shame that so many would-be traders take their $5k and piss it away trading emini's when it would be much better for them to open a commission free account such as Robinhood and learn to...

There you go. If this were 6:20 AM Eastern instead of 6:20 PM ... ;)

Hey B1S2, Markets don't go straight up nor straight down to be sure. Many expecting a rally back to 2650 +/- to sell into again. Are you considering that a possibility?

I've had two +10 handle trades today so far. There have been weeks where I don't get 10 handles twice.

There is my +10 @23.75 ... Moving lower target to 2600.75 where I will be all out. Stop is still 35 on my runners.

I'll limit out a portion at 23.75, with lowest profit target at 2590.

short 33.75* stop 35 ... still looking for a somewhat lower low before a sizable retrace. *I thought I hit post reply and just saw that I didn't. Timestamp will not match the trade. If B1S2 wants me to delete this post let me know, and I'll do so.
