Wow, really unfortunate that I had to get out of that short trade near the top this morning, but I have to consistently follow my rules!

You got it, that action is pretty tricky this morning though!

Eventually filled at 1100.50 and bailed quickly for -2 ticks, tough morning so far!

Tried to buy ES @ 1100.50 but not filled.

I'm actually afraid of today being one of those slow drift up days since most other markets are closed. Here's hoping we get some volatility today!

Cover ES @ 1102.75 -8 ticks

First trade of the day here: S ES @1100.75

Tried to flip short in ES @ 1091.50 but did not get the fill.

cover @ 1774 for +8 ticks

L NQ @ 1772

No new trades for me so far after lunch. There really hasn't been much going on compared to this morning.

Quick recap of the AM for me. Trade 1: Good entry but actually exited when I should have bought more. This is some gray area in my rules that I need to tighten up. Nevertheless, only 4 ticks of loss. Trade 2: Great entry 1 tick from the top of the move. No reason to get out after just 4...
