    Stops below current swing low. Moving to B/E at some point. Not sure about adds... Very basic stuff.

    Stopped for 9.50 points loss at the coffee shop. See? Not all my trades are wins. :) Will see how the market looks when I’m back and maybe engage again…

    Stopped ES for 10 points at 76.25. Re-entered long here at 79.50. Stop at 70. Not loving the wide stop, but headed out and it's unmonitored. Limit sell at 5410.

    Noah could have bought the swing low, too (maybe he did?), but maybe he prefers to focus on how I'm not showing my losses. LOL. Anyway, this game certainly isn't easy, so I hope I'm not giving off the impression that it is. Headed out for some coffee and sunshine. It's possible we have the...

    LOL. I don't actually owe anyone to be posting any trades here, so again, not sure what you're trying to accomplish. My long term win rate is sub 50 % on per trade basis (the amount of winning days is much higher), so it's no secret that I will take a lot of scratches or small losses. That's...

    News shock and news failure. Headline games. Not too late to salvage this day...

    Bulls calling BS on this drop if we go green again here. > 70 to be safe.

    Haven't checked the news yet, but I figure it has to be Middle East headlines. I wrote pre-market how that was the only thing that could stop this rally today. :) Maybe that was enough to put some hegdes on. Let's see if this can spike back up to 5400 again. It can happen... Agreed. It's a...

    I'm not even sure how to respond to this. The only reason I showed my trades today with a very good explanation is because you asked. Seems like a pretty rude reply on your end. My impression of you is that you're always trying to find reason for why trading doesn't work. So why even bother...

    Well, thank goodness for trailing stops. Green day, but not what I was hoping for. :( I figured there's a nuke in the Middle East or something. I've no idea. Not sure I'm playing more today at this point. Waiting to see if it eases off a bit.

    Well, if today didn't drop on the Open but continued, I would have ended up with a monster position and a stop very well in the money below the assumed LOD for a potential monster gain. Just see my current NQ position which also had adds after the initial rise. Adding to a position works very...

    PPS: I was losing faith on that morning drop, but my data very strongly suggested a rally today. Also, I figured the 50 area was a potential pullback low. We overshot it quite a bit, so I did start having doubts... But I still had enough faith that it was worth a small size. I then only added...

    Nope. Went flat on overnight longs on the Open around 73 ES giving back a lot of unrealized gains. Not sure where I stopped out on NQ, but it was above breakeven. Also giving back a lot of unrealized gains. I considered taking profits pre-market, but since I'm uncertain about how the gyrations...

    My guess is we rally or edge higher into CPI. If CPI comes in as expected or 0.0000001 % below, there's a huge rally. Partially cheeky. Partially serious. ;)

    Looks like a nice little morning shakeout! See if there's enough strength to give a rally above Friday's high now. :)

    Should the POTUS interfere with FOMC's decision?

    Refresh my memory, but didn't Trump start bullying Powell when they actually started raising rates during his presidency? To the point where Powell actually backed down and lowered them again?

    We literally need a nuke in the ME to stop this market today. Where's @v-shape-0DTE???

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    I see 5440/50 as a possible high print today if we rally on the Open and continues. There's an open gap at 5480. Probably not until tomorrow. Failure point from my POV right now would be a gap up open that's not able to hold Friday's close. But even a mild dip buy below that is probably...
