Definitely a premature exit, I have a tendency to look for reasons to exit when I'm in a winning position like that. It's the number one bad habit that I am working on breaking. The correct exit would have been now at 1105.25

covering here at 1106.50, it feels like more of a pullback in this uptrend than price rolling over, but +3 ticks on that one.

I wasn't able to trade during the mid-morning due to another obligation but back at it now. Currently short ES @ 1107.25 here just before 2pm.

First trade today, got short NQ @ 1805.25 and just covered a minute ago at 1802.50, might have been way too early to cover. +11 ticks to start the day at least.

Pretty good action yesterday afternoon for us, hopefully that carries over to this morning. Tried to get long ES @1105 but it bounced back up too quickly and no fill for me.

Looks like we could reverse here down around 1801 on NQ, I'm keeping my eye on it.

You got it, covering here at 1807 Yikes, took almost 6 pts on that one and it's still going!

Still have it, have a stop at 1810.75 now and looking for lower prices here.

Finally getting that downmove here, still short NQ from 1812.75

Yup, let's hope for some volatility here over the last hour and a half. Not surprisingly I've made most of my money long and the tough money has been made on my shorts. I'm currently short from 1812.75 on NQ, so hoping for a little rollover here.

Yup, really a weird day so far. It looks like that dip when Bernanke started talking was just to blow out the weak longs and maybe pull in some shorts. This is still better than Tuesday last week since there's some volatility today even though we just keep making marginal new highs.

Hey man, good to see that you're having yourself a good day so far this morning. You're right, pretty boring day for me so far. Either you hop on the train early in the morning on a day like today or you're stuck on the sidelines for a bit. I've had a couple good long NQ trades and also just...

Covered @ 1091.75 for -3 ticks.....That trade looked like it was really going to be good too, nice setup and all.

First trade here in awhile: L ES @ 1092.50

It's really slowed down here as we've gotten into a 3pt range here in the last hour and a half. Not too many trades for me so far today.

Cover @ 1091.50 for +5 ticks

S ES @1092.75

Cover @ 1087.75 for +6 ticks Yikes, got out a bit too early. I was a little hesitant when we didn't break 1088.25.

First trade today: L ES @ 1086.25

Quick recap of the three trades today: Trade #1 - Long NQ @ 1782.75 @ 10:20est Perfect entry according to my rules and just two ticks off the low. Exit was at 1785.25 which was slightly premature since my exit rules should have had me out slightly higher around 1787. Trade #2 -...
