Amazing how this works. At the open (0933 EDT to be exact), the market retested 1528 and bounced off, now 4 points higher. I was just about to enter long, just waiting for a little confirmation, when the internet connection in my Hilton hotel room here in Boston went down. It's a wireless...

In hindsight, the support zone was re-tested vigorously about 5:55 am EDT and held admirably at 1528, so I consider it redeemed. However, we're now too far above support (2+ pts) for a long entry, and too close to the opening of RTH to risk a close stop being whipsawed out in the first few...

That doesn't address my question about what it means when substantial blocks trade below bid price. Why would a rational trader sell below bid, not just once but multiple times? :confused:

Stopped out for -1.5 by some weird big-size (for Globex) selling at 0555 EDT. Something fishy going on -- some big blocks traded BELOW the bid price, causing a big spike down and taking out my (tight) stop. May re-enter long after I watch this for awhile. What in hell does it mean when...

In Globex, ES descended from 1536 starting just after midnight EDT. I attempted to get short at 1535.50 but failed to get filled. At 04:30 EDT, ES descended to weak support zone at 1529 (same as yesterday's 3pm low) and reversed. 15-min RSI reached 23.75, quite overbought. Next bar on...

I'm probably going to regret this, but I just closed this position at 1535.25 for a gain of 11 points. Guess I was just spooked by the rule of 10 and didn't want to risk giving anything back. For the day, I am up 22.5 points, which is a new personal best. I'm going to take a break to savor...

Relativistic time dilation? :D

Did you notice that some really big size unloaded around 1:18 EDT? I think we're going to take a pause that refreshes here (maybe one of Oso's bull flags), then hopefully go on to a new HOD and run some short stops. I've raised my sell stop to 1528.25 (4 points above my entry). EDIT...

Long 1524.25 Stop 1522.25 (2 pts) Target 1540 (15.75 pts) EDIT: Stop raised to breakeven

Are you still holding longs from the entry around 1518, or are you looking to go long (e.g., 1525)?

Looking at 60- and 240-minute charts, looks to me like it might be best not to get short again until 1541-1542 resistance. Apex, yesterday you said you were looking to go short around 1536. I'm not seeing a zone there. Do you still see one there?

Short 1531.25 Stop 1533.25 (2 pts) Target 1525.50 (5.75 pts) EDIT: moving stop to breakeven (Am I the only one having trouble posting to this thread today?) EDIT: Trailed stop down to 1530.25 May be reversing here. EDIT: Stopped out at 1530.25 for +1 :(

Short 1529.75, stop 1531.25 (1.5 pts) EDIT: Stopped out.

Covered at 1526.00 for +3.75

Short at 1529.75, stop at 1531.00

Didn't execute as well as Apex (no surprise). Entered long at 1519.00 with (too) short stop and was stopped out for a 3-tick loss. Decided to wait for better confirmation and re-entered long at 1520.50 with a stop at 1519.00. EDIT: PT touched and filled at 1529.00 for +8.5 points. (I...

Stopped out at 1526.25 for +3. Now flat.

Not thrilled with price action here. PT stop raised to 1525.25 (2 points above long entry). Will continue to trail stop up.

Indeed. My finger's on the trigger to get out of this trade early.

Halfway to target.
