This looks rather ominous.

L 1524.50 (better late then never?) SS 1523.25 (5 ticks, 2 ticks below LOD) PT1 1529.00 (4.5 points) PT2 1532.00 (7.5 points) EDIT: Apex--tell me this entry's so nice you played it twice! :) EDIT: In hindsight, I entered too early, but am finally seeing confirmation bars on 3 and 5...

Did you consider entering during the Globex session? (I know you don't like to do that.)

I'm jealous! My buy order is still in at 1524.50 just in case there's a retest, but I'm not holding my breath...

Trying to go long here at 1524.50, but it may have gotten away from me and I'm not going to chase it. :eek: EDIT: Damn, I had the entry pegged perfectly at 1524.50, and blew the execution. I HATE when that happens.

Thanks! [Blush] I only wish I'd had a third unit to hold to 1525. I'd have had one if my first attempt to add-on hadn't been stopped out. I guess two out of three ain't bad... Thanks, Ben! :D

Looking for possible long entry around 1523.00. EDIT: Correction: around 1524.50 (lower rising trend line).

Profit 1 taken at 1531.00 (on initial short) for +6.25. Profit 2 taken at 1528.50 (on add-on short) for +7. Now flat.

Added to short at 1535.50. I hope Ben's done with the "good news" part of his speech and has moved to the "bad news" part. :)

Anyone know what he's saying? I.e., is he responsible for the spike or the reaction after the spike? :confused:

Stop lowered to break-even at 1537.25. Looking to add to short on retracement to 1535. EDIT: Possible bear flag forming. If so, will look to add to short on breakout from bear flag. EDIT: Bear flag breakout. Added to short at 1533.50, with stop for add-on at 1534.50 (1 point). Stop for...

My experience is that it is almost impossible to be filled on ES unless the price actually moves THROUGH your limit price and touches one tick beyond your limit (however briefly). While I know it's theoretically possible to get filled at the absolute top or bottom, it's never happened to me...

Stop moved to breakeven at 1534.75 EDIT: Closed out at 1534.00 (via trailing stop) for +3 ticks. Will look to re-enter short.

Heading out for a doctor's appointment. I'm done for the day (in more ways than one). :) See y'all tomorrow.

Missed the stop by one tick...GOOD JOB! :) EDIT: Oops. Spoke too soon. :(

Based on trendlines, key resistance is now 1546.75, and key support is now 1538.00 and 1522.50. I'm not a pivot guy, but I'm showing pivots at1535.00/1535.25, 1539.50/1539.75 and 1547.75/1548.00.

There are times I'd like to get "them" in a dark alley... :) You don't suppose "they" read ES Journal? :confused:

I'll probably hate myself for this... L 1539.00 SS 1538.00 (1 point) PT 1544.00 (5 points) EDIT: Yup, I was right. Stopped out for -1. Memo to self: Never trade against Apex! :) EDIT: Memo to self: That stop was just too close. One more tick and... <sigh>
