Watching 2300.25-2301.25 for exhaustion. Not a large move off of this since new highs, but perhaps 3R. If it doesn't balance up here for a bit, I will likely skip. If can get some balancing between ~98.75-01.25, may short.

So unless I get a crossover here before 8:30 (central), this is looking like one of the least-reliable, hodge-podge setup days I have. So not sure if I will even trade or if so, will do half size. Would like to get a crossover, but mathematically doesn't look likely unless ES tanks quickly...

Thanks. I go long and short depending on my morning signals and never swing or position trade. So, I'm completely agnostic. ;-) Would be something to kind of track though. I think they are pretty good resources.

Watching for retest of yesterday's low. I think I was too aggressive on my entry earlier. I mean, obviously I was, but I was second-guessing the idea to place entry below 0% and just had a bit of FOMO and took it even. That was a mistake. And if I'd not, I would not have been stopped out...

I'm allowed to take one more shot at this if it gets back inside yesterday's range. But that's it per rule.

Stopped out. -1R

This looks bad now.

Held above S1 on the 9:15-9:30 candle so hopefully some more buyers will be stepping in.

In long at 85.25. I really should be in 84.75, but I was worried it was so forceful it wasn't going to tag through much. This is my rule. Will just have to see if it works today or is part of the stats where it doesn't work occasionally.

Watching for a close inside yesterday's range. Have not see it go as deep as -38% on day setup like today so not comfortable taking the long there, esp given the no man's land for ES balance there. But rule doesn't say short either. Waiting for some conviction.

Didn't open right for a long where I hoped. Waiting for some exhaustion. Will need to judge the R:R depending on where this slows down.

Looking for a long, entry location depends one where ES is opening. Patience and concentration today because entry differences are subtle.

Thanks!! Slow and steady is my goal right now.

Out per plan. I think it could go a little lower, but I'm trying not to be a hog that gets slaughtered! 4.25R No broken rules! Happy day.

I'm in short at 2294.25. Didn't want to distract myself typing earlier because it was going sideways for so long it was making me nervous. Usually I get a faster reaction on a day like today. Goal is ~85.75 or EOD. I will move my stop to breakeven if/when I get a 15-min candle closing...

Stopped out. -1R I have to be better about trusting real-time vs. slavish application of my rules. Bear moving averages --> have to take off scratch of look for other side. I know this deep down, but I get one-track mind (as I think a lot of people do)...

My rule doesn't say move my stop. It's back to its original location. Have to remember just 1R at risk... If we close below what I think is support, then I can try to exit quickly, but I would hate to have it tag through, stop me out, and go up...

Closed above 89.75, but ugh, this is just slow and weak. Looking at OCA order that gets me out (1) stop of -.5R, (2) limit profit taker at 95.5 (3.875R), or (3) EOD market.

Have moved stop to 86.50. I now have bearish moving averages. Statistically I'm looking at hold the long, but it's struggling more than it usually does. Not at breakeven for the stop, but couple ticks behind the recent low and 2 ticks behind the 62% of the bull move from PM to 9:30. I'm...

Struggling at prior close, but that's not a spot I usually trust for reversals either on most days (only on days with really really mixed momo signals that stayed soundly within prior day's range during Globex)...
