I'm on break until the 2pm volatility. Currently have some bad eye strain.

Need more opens like this. Thankful for the volatility

Looks like there's plenty of buying to me. Downtrend isn't very strong. Lots of buying on the way down

Maybe to learn a lesson in humility

Keep up the good work !

The correct grammar is "loosen" :p

Well Iraq lost control of its second largest city. Does that count ? :D

Really weird action. This is the sort of weakness where gap downs end up continuing to push down. Instead there's just nothing going on. In all my years of trading, I've never seen a gap down behave like this it's pretty obvious what happened. Weak push up, followed by what should have been a...

brevity is the wisdom of the soul. Post less, focus more

I don't prefer trends actually. I will trade them, but they aren't my bread and butter

Those that can trade anything, will NOT trade this

Which is exactly why I've stopped daytrading the ES until we get at least 1 down day and the price action changes substantially. 2 tick ranged 5 minute bars are being traded only by the naive. In daytrading, we trade market inefficiencies no matter how small or large the time frame. Low...

1 or 2 more legs down would convince me of a switch in supply and demand.....supply firmly in control. Until then, I sit and watch the struggle between both sides

U can become consistent in trading with charts although it's not the only way. It takes years of studying how a market moves to get good at it. My advice to u is to stop trading, and choose a market u want to master and study years of past charts with no intention other than observation. Flip...

What I've learned is a good ES strategy will also work on other markets. Trend lines are only a confirmation tool, and should never be used as an entry IMO. There's no edge in trend lines that I ever saw. Once I got good at trading ES, i was able to move this strategy over to other markets...

While I have plenty of long positions in my retirement accounts, I will not be daytrading this market again until we have at least 1 bearish day. They have successfully killed the ES market for right now. Edit: If ES rolls over today, that will suffice too but that's a longshot

For those that are hunting for market tops, just a possible scenario. If we can close somewhat near this level, and Friday closes near today's open, on the daily chart, this will be the momentum necessary to see some downward pressure in the coming weeks. It would be a nice blow off top...

When u see volatile quick turns one way then the other, it indicates uncertainty. Uncertainty is a day traders best friend bc once the wrestling is completed, and there is a clear winner, there's always a quick fear based trend with little pullback. The morning 10:05ish est downtrend was an...

What did u find erratic about it ?

Why take profit when the market continuously goes higher ?
