    I'm looking at a few things here. 1) We continue to chop for another 15-30 mins, and I will go long around the 1696-97ish area with a target of 1701. 2) An immediate slow push down in the next 15-30 mins, I will buy 1694.75 (already have a limit order in) 3) None of which happens and...

    Lots of clues that the morning action was going to be a strong push up. Me like !! Pretty easy to grab a few points. Unfortunately, this 94-98 area is very congested due to yesterdays action. Going long towards the bottom part of this range or short towards the top seems like the safest...

    If you take a look at the daily ES chart and combine it with today action, it looks as if the longs are starting to give up. Profit taking has begun on a longer term scale (relative of course) and I expect some action to the downside for the next few weeks. Buy Limits set at 1326 and 1325

    the blue line is the 20ema. When price starts pushing up quickly with no retracement, price ends up further away from the 20ema than normal. I consider this a standard deviation or 2 away from the 20ema. When this occurs, many algo's start flipping short or selling long positions. Thats just...
