Long NQ at 1189.25 *edit* - out at 1187.25, that's what I get for not sticking to my rules.

First trade of the day for me, long ES at 842 *edit* - Stopped out at 840

Thanks geez! Slow but steady improvement for me thus far. The name of the game for me is going to be to concentrate on the process and not the PnL for now!

Sort of a tricky trading day it seemed like and I'm still getting my eyes trained to seeing all the setups. The next step is to take all the appropriate trades that come my way. I need to remember that the max gain comes when taking all the signals during the day and not just trying to cherry...

Long the NQ at 1181.75, looking like some consolidation for another leg upwards. *edit* - cover at 1184

A fairly confusing day for me so far and the trade's that I have seen I just haven't had the confidence in to take. I think the confidence will just keep building on itself with continued screen time.

As soon as I wrote that I sold an ES at 842.25 *edit* - cover at 841.25, I should stay out of this chop until a clearer trend presents itself.

Really choppy here during lunch and not much volume so far today. Outside of that run-up in the first 45 minutes there really haven't been too many trades to take today. I'll see if things pick up a little bit after lunch.

Short NQ at 1191 Target is around 1187.50, pretty small target for now as we get a little choppy here. *edit* - Cover at 1190, the market is acting really dull here and we're still in the upper end of today's range so I'd rather not be short right now.

Here is a pic of the NQ so far this morning and it trying to hold its uptrend.

Looks like we might be rolling over a bit out of this mornings uptrend so I will be on the lookout for short trades now. ES has broken its uptrend but NQ is putting up a fight at it's uptrend line.

Two good entries so far this morning and I'm 1 for 2 on the trade management so far. I also had a bid in to get long the NQ for 1193 at 10:08 but I did not get the fill.

Long ES here at 846.00. Not a big target, maybe just 849. *edit* - covered at 849.00

Long ES at 837.75 *edit* - stopped out at 836.25, worth a shot even before an econ number since it was a low risk/high reward play. *edit 2* - Should have kept my stop a little wider since I got stopped out on the low tick and it was way too close to entry before an econ number. Was...

The market isn't looking overly interesting yet, we're just basically trading at the upper end of the bigger range over the last week. I will probably just monitor the charts and wait to see what happens after the 10am numbers come out before I make a trade.

Done for the day here, it seems really choppy in this last half hour. I only made 3 trades today but really observed at least another half dozen that I could have taken. With a little more experience I should be able to stay on top of everything and take every trade that I should. The...

A pretty impressive melt-up this afternoon, I wouldn't exactly call it a rally. I'm going to stay nimble and try and find some good trades in the last 90 minutes. This rally seems like it's losing steam but I'll just take my cue from the charts. *edit* - We finally made a lower high in both...

Looks like a lot of volatile chop at the moment and it's probably no coincidence that it's during lunch on a Friday.

Looks like there might be another flag formation in the making just like this morning as long as the bottom of this channel holds. *edit* - scratch that as we went shooting down through that lower trendline!

Getting short the ES on the pullback at 821.50, we'll see if this down move has one more leg down in it. *edit* - cover at 818.50 for 3 points. My target was 817.50 and it came within a tick. *edit 2* - should have just kept my profit target of 817.50 in there. I do this often where I end...
