Thanks ya sounds good to me. The hardest part of trading is the isolation.

Do you let them expire or get out early?

taking profit 2 here 1486.50 +2.5pts stop still 1 tick above highs

taking profit 1 here at 1488 for a 1 point gain. stop 1 tick above the prior high.

Price action... just because I want to go short at a price doesnt mean it has to get there I wish.... I really dont like the short side here.. especially during lunch most likely one more run up to 1491.50 and then head down I will probably reenter on the short side if this happens

sell stop at 1489 to go short If entered stop 1 tick above highs for a 1.5pt stop Targets... 1487.50 then 78.6 of the lows edit: now short stop 1 tick above the highs.

taking profit 3 here at 1490 +7.75 points looking to go short soon.

I totally hear ya... but I always like to maximize my risk/reward. I can easily see the ES moving to new all time highs from this area.. it was a major support zone. Higher level trend is up so I want to play the short side with the least risk as possible. Therefore waiting for the 1491 area...

ES is the only product that I have found this to occur. With the er2 you can get filled on extreme ticks most of the time if your trading 20 contracts or less. ES is the worst stock index future for fills if you use limits... hands down.

short the candian futures here at 0.9040 symbol @CD stop 1 tick above the highs going for at least 10:1 reward to risk

taking profit 2 here as well at 1487 stop still 1 tick below the lows. +4.75 pts Watch the 1484.50 area for a possible reentry to the long side. I would enter with a reversal or some type of slingshot entry due to the possibilty of washing out the lows before moving higher.

profit 1 hit and filled stop now moved to 1 tick below lows.

time being is the key word.... profit targets at 1487, 1488.50, 1491 I will be flipping short at 1491

LONG ES HERE at here at 1482.25 2 pt stop minimum 5 pt target

Alright, we have a nice short setup for tomorrow. There should also be a great buying oppurtunity as well but only if we can get up to the resistance zone first. It has been a little while since I last posted because I havent seen much oppurtunity in terms of probability and risk/reward. I...

If you are placing limits you experience a tick of slippage on the way in and the way out. ES has to trade through your price to get filled... that is some BS if you ask me for one of the most liquid markets.

What you dont realize is that 7 times out of 10 my trade would have resulted in a 10:1 or more reward to risk ratio. It just so happens that you cant win them all... hence the comment about a low risk entry when it is seriously countertrend. You obviously have not been trading fx long if you...
