Added @ 1290 Friday near the close, covered 1283. Took an Evening star candle stick set up on NQ @ 1609, cover 1603. Still have 1280 short and looking for an additional entry, but not enough movement to justify another entry.
In no specific order;
1. b1s2, romik- divergence plays
2. Nkbashi-candlestick trader
3. lescor/mshey- money management
4. Stvardek- intraday machine
5. Dbright- openings
6. porgie- hard work, common sense
Scalp 1289, cover 1285. NQ short as well 1618 cover 1613. Still have the 1280 short and will add above 1295. S2 I like this positional thing mixed in with some scalp plays.
Didnt go flat. Going to look to add above 1295 area if we get there. I have a feeling those numbers maybe be sand bagged. Anyway, Im obviously going to swing this.
Tommorrow's employment report looms large. It will at least for the short term provide direction for equities. I'm holding a 1280 short, but Im going to close this at end of the day and will remain flat for the open.
Yes its so much more relaxing you are quite correct. Also the commissions are much less which is also a plus. I use no stops because I also believe in the mean reversion action of the ES.
Great hold big dog!! Still trying to get used to this positional trading style. I can say it allows for more flexibility in analyzing the entry and exit.
I added short @ 1281. Avg price 1275.50. I'm going to hold and walk away. No scalps for now, its too dead. I will most likely cover before those Fomc minutes come out next week.
Nice. I expect some more end of the month buying and then I'll look for 2nd entry. 30 points above yesterdays low so it should retrace at some point Friday.
I couldnt post my trades. Scalped 7 times after my intial trade. All short of course. This is too good! Another Steak dinner tonite. There are moving down 20-30 points from there hi's lately. Can not ignore that price action. Failing @ the 200 day as well. Im contemplating one more entry.
I went long on Ym if that counts, signal my 1263 ES short started running against me. Got in @ 11165 long covered 11175. Added to my short @1266, covered both shorts @1261.00. Avg price ES 1264.50. Of course now it breaks :D
You are a Short Beast!! Down 80 points in 2 weeks time. I was honestly pondering a positional short @ 1275 yesterday and they dropped to 1261. Ran back to 1275 today and scalped it. Pondered too long. Snooze you lose in this market.
