I should have clarified that this is for the ES contract, I forgot that not everyone is fixated on one symbol as I have become. I backtested from the beginning of the year, which of course has been a bull market, so results were positive. April has been a tougher month, but is still...

Is that from backtesting?

Buy the Open. Ten point target, ten point stop. If neither is reached, MOC. Actual trade results to be posted beginning 4/13. Thoughts...

Truer words were never spoken. Thanks for the encouragement.

Added at 1208 to average in at 14.50, covered B/E. Not cut out for swing trading, need to stick to my stops. Lesson learned, again...LOL!! :p

Interesting that the Beige Book was pretty positive overall, but the market dropped like a rock. I guess there's no telling how traders will react to news until after the reaction. Still married to my ES long from 21, holding until EOD or cover at 19.

Thanks for the reminders. :D Besides, Macho G is long now, so we're bound to rally. Beige Book in ten minutes will make me or break me, time will tell.

It gives me a chance to see what swing trading is like. I can take a little heat, it was a bad trade and I know it.

Nah, I cancelled my stop. Gonna hold for the bull run to 30.25. :p Hell, I may even add at 17.50, nothing like averaging in...LOL!!! Looks like some long stops are about to get run at the 17 level...:eek:

Long ES @1221.00, Target 1223.00, stop 1219.00. EDIT: I cancelled my stop, gonna go bareback on this one. Will cover B/E at 21 if able. This low volume is making it too easy to move the price around. (1:30)

Wow, talk about manipulating the market!! Maybe we could all get together and come up with similar stories that would benefit our positions in a similar fashion for twenty point runs. But that would require us agreeing on market direction...LOL!! :D Looks like alot of up and down for...

Wow, stopped out @19.50 -1. Looks like the bears are trying to regain control for awhile longer... That was the kind of move I was looking for, but in the wrong direction...LOL!!:eek: I think I'll take my one point profit and go buy a cheeseburger, you kids have fun. :cool:

Long ES @20.50, target 24.50, stop 18.50. EDIT: stop moved to 19.50 (11:10) Need to see continuation above the 22 level soon or I will scratch this one.

I had the opposite problem, saw several opportunities but didn't trade them. Maybe we can meet in the middle and post a couple of winners...LOL!! :cool: A move below 22 flushes the longs and gets everyone short, with stops ~20-21. I am buying that level if the setup still looks good at that...

It's very tempting to buy this level, but I would prefer to see a test and failure at 20 before going long. Pulled back just enough there to run the long stops below 22 before popping up again. Lots of trickery going on here...LOL!! :p Starting to look like a bear flag/pennant, with 22 as...

A pullback to the 20-21 area is a good buying opportunity, IMO. Finding some support here @ 22, let's see if it holds.

That was a great setup, too bad I was busy typing instead of watching the chart...LOL!! :eek:

I only know what I see, and I saw that trade working. Interesting how it went to 15.50 then reversed, probably wouldn't have gotten filled at that price. I wasn't trying to rub salt in your wound, just pointing out that long in a downtrend seemed risky. But that's just my opinion. :cool:

Falling knives, brother. I tried to sell 18.50 for a move to 15.50 but it ran away from me. :p

Covered ES short at 18.50 +2. Using a new platform and closed position in error when trying to move stop to B/E... :(
