    Exiting position here at 1385.00 for a result of +16.75pts. Ultimate target 1386.25 also hit now, so I feel very satisfied. EDIT I've got to adjust my execution quite a lot, should put more confidence in exact levels that I see.. I shouldn't get these by-tick-or-two mindgames this often.

    Unbelieveable.. stop held through the 9:30-10:30 chop by 1 tick, now the position is at +10pts and I'm raising the stop to 1369.75 (+2.50pts). Targets are still the same - 1382.25 first and 1386.25 as the ultimate target. EDIT: ES reached 1379.00, so position has gone almost +12pts...

    Market has re-entered the 1364.50-1367.50 area.. watching the 2min and 5min price action and looking for signals. EDIT long 1367.25, stop 1364.25 (-3.00pts). EDIT on 2nd thought, to have the stop exactly at the pivot is a bad idea.. so I'm expanding it on this one.. stop will be at 1363.50

    Low-tick at 1367.00 and now up almost 7pts from that level.. Well, missed that fill by 3 ticks, but I'm not gonna chase the market this early in the globex session, many tricky moves may still be manufactured.. Truly a strong swing for this time of the day and it might never look back, but I'll...

    Expecting the ES to hold strong at the 1364.50-1367.50 zone and make a move to at least up to the 1383-1387 area, which would roughly create a swing of about 20pts. Currently bidding 1366.25 MIT, stop at -4.00pts, first target 1382.25 (+16.00pts), then 1386.25 (+20.00pts).

    That 13pts pullback from 1371.50 was a bitch.... -3.5pts on that one and now took off +10.50pts from a 1363.75 long, exited 1374.25 So total of +7.00pts for now and leaving the screens for today. Considering myself lucky more than anything else.. having trouble understanding the intraday...

    "Hope" is a bad word, but.. nice one, ammo. Really a nice one. EDIT: long at 1364.00, stop -3.50pts EDIT: stopped out.. SOB..

    Duh.. Missed the zone by about 2pts there.. had a buy order higher also, at 1353.50, but no luck, left flat by 3 ticks. Nice surge though. EDIT: I sure as hell wouldn't be shorting this one here..1366-1369 is another important area for me here, but I'm not taking the opposite side of such...

    I'm currently looking for a re-test of the 1347.00-1350.00 level and a turnaround of the current intraday downswing from there. Had the 1347-1350 area charted Sunday already as the primary support for today if price should get there, but decided today not to put blind orders in due to not...

    Eh, exited early.. +11.75pts target reached. Pretty much straight down from that 1367-1370 area, which is still unbelieveably orderly behaviour.. Currently on the sidelines, but standing for swing's end at this 1347-1350 area and some inviting long signals.

    Position at +8.00pts, moving stop down to 1357.25 (+2.50pts). EDIT: ok, seems like it's got problems moving down.. moving stop to 1354.50 here (+5.25pts), don't wanna lose most of the unrealized to some midday chop. EDIT: 5min hammer completed at pivot+fib support, exiting for +6.00pts.

    Short 1359.75, stop -2.75pts. Target 1348.00. EDIT: seems unbelieveable, but the 1367-1370 area proved resistance again. And after that sharp 15pts move down from that area, I'm preferring shorts, until 1364.00 gets revisited.

    We're certainly not the same person. As a matter of fact, we're on completely different continents - he's from Canada, if I remember correctly. Although - we could be the same age.. not 100% sure. I use some similar tools as he does, obviously, and the approaches have some common building...

    Cancelling all orders and leaving the screens for today. Nothing but nervous chop-chop, not worth the time. Will wait for more attractive times and trying to be patient.

    Reached pivot area, but 15-min closed strong so far, looking at the next bar. Putting an MIT short order to 1359.75, stop 3.50pts (1363.25). With the current charts, 1360 would be the last reach for the bears. If that fails to end the upswing, then a probable re-test of 1367-1370 coming...

    Looking for 15-min weakness at 1356-1359.50 when we reach that area.. but i'd like it better if it took some more time to get to that globex pivot at 1356.75

    Cancelling that for now and watching from the sidelines.. Nothing really catches the eye currently.

    1355 now, low was 1345.25. Yawn... this is TOO easy... well, it's always good when the markets behave in orderly fashion. It often also means there's chaos around the corner and one should not get too overconfident with his method. That applies for me, at least, so I'll try to avoid opinions and...

    Covered all here at 1347.75 That's +14.25pts.. Ahhh.. feels good after these 1-tick brainf**ks. EDIT: for the aggressive bulls.. here's some good bullish confluence between 1346-1349.. keeping stop around 1345 would be a low risk long, though I'm not convinced it'd be good probability...
