Premarket session is possibly all I'll have for today depending upon what comes across my desk at work. Net result is a a hair better than +6 points net. Not perfect but not too off the mark either. Thankfully trading isn't a game of perfect. The best thing I did for my trading is eliminated...

The 6.14.2024 high finally came into play today. The pessimists keep chipping away at these lower levels, but until there is a daily close below 5489.75, I feel the uptrend is intact. A close below 5519 I feel might be a first sign of possibly lower prices. I'm not a predictor. I am an...

Six days and counting where sellers tried to take this down below the 6.12 high and found buyers still hungry to buy more than those sellers were willing to sell. July 11/12 would be the target for this to be "forced" up or down based on the channel I've drawn. I doubt the ES cares that I...

It might look a mess but it was worth +5.5 points of profit. I have a road trip for work today so this might be all I do today.

I did study that one. And this one from Jiler I feel was helpful. I also got that Bar by Bar book by Brooks. Not helpful at all. If there is anything useful in it it must be hidden by the poor writing and terrible presentation. I have a pdf of a John Hill book about bar charts (John Hill...

The ES trying to be my friend and make me look smarter than I am. But if I were that smart, I'd have been short instead of flat, and I would have covered at the low for a proper profit.

I'm not one for predictions, but I feel we could see this thing trade below yesterday's Globex low and then rally into the close and close flat for the week.

RTH only 3 ticks away. Globex low is down at 15.75. ES really turned around. From looking like a sure up trend day into a down trend day.

I liked this post yesterday and I feel I don't have the experience to make my opinion valuable. But the more I thought about I wanted to say that this is 100% the case. Pick your market, pick you time frame, and then just watch it and learn it. I wasted nearly four years buying books and...

Made it to the top of the trading range and now quickly making its way to the bottom. @Laissez Faire I don't know where it will close but I think an outside day is increasingly likely, don't you?

Last week ES closed at 5536.50. So far this week is inside of last week's range. Maybe they keep her tight with a close near last week's close?

Caught this trading bug like so many did when the covid lockdowns had us stuck at home and flush with cash. Spent a few years going down the youtube and twitter guru rabbit holes. Then I read the book Flash Crash about Navinder Sarao and I had a kind of "epiphany" and realized the only way I...

I don't know what your question is, @Picaso . I gave the unvarnished truth. I allowed myself to be seduced by the "quick and easy" ticks offered by the NQ, and I followed no plan or strategy. Trading rules? Out the window. I didn't need no stinkin rules. I'm very disappointed in myself...

My poor trading was due to trading an unfamiliar contract that I know has given me the heebie jeebies in the past. I find it hard to hold NQ for target. I move trail my stop too soon and too close. If I could trade the NQ with the same emotional stability I have when I trade the ES, today...

Without a doubt today was my worst trading day of the month. I allowed myself to be seduced by the dragon monster known as NQ. A profit for the day, and far from my lowest profit. But my trading was :thumbsdown:. I really must stick to the ES. I don't even want to show my tradovate chart...

Every time price has tested that 5519 breakout level, there have been buyers. But every time price attempts to breakout above a previous day's high there have been sellers. Just an observation.

Only thing that matters are the Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands say "Up!" The market doesn't even have to ask "how high?" Bolinger Bands already answered that too. You must trust and believe in the all mighty Bollinger Bands ;) I don't know if it is a market mover or not. I use the forex...

Sometimes @Laissez Faire you speak in tongues to me.

5 days in a row ES gave opportunity to buy at the level of last week's breakout, and all 5 times there were eager buyers. I don't feel comfortable making predictions. If price were to drop, I'd be looking at the level marked by the lower trendline for a long, or for signs that the trend is no...

I should have listened to my gut. Took two premarket trades after all, and dead wrong on both. Took the breakout a couple of minutes after the open, and winner, winner, chicken dinner. Somehow netted a profit of just over 5 points. That is my current plan, to see if I can discipline myself...
