Are we to assume you're stopped out for -5 handles?

Well, the vol tells you that you found a nest of stops -- the low range of the bar, the fact that price didn't go very far, tells you that you found offers to hold it :)

Thought you'd never ask .. haha The profile you see here is what it looked like about 5 minutes before the low at 31 was put in: http://screencast.com/t/OeQzkXF8Tov Also note that the pullback around 11:40 after the 33.25 was broken to the upside was to 31.25 -- last point of strong...

Of course you would expect a spike at the high or low of the day, regardless of whether there is to be continuation or reversal. The key is the range of the bar. Effort vs. result. In this case, large effort, little result, compared to the previous 5 minutes of activity...

I have seen over and over that price may not move a lot in that time period, but it appears to often offer a great opportunity to position oneself for moves which happen later.

I find again that it's toughest for me when the trade is in my favor, hard to let it run for fear of losing what is already there. Not a 1m bar low broken in the last 16 minutes -- even trailing the lows here would have yielded twice the profit already.

How about posting only ES trades, and when you do that, post at least the entry price?

I REALLY don't want to do this, but I'm out at 34.25 for +2 points on this... given time of day, I see potential for it to come right back and probe.

Stop to BE,

Long 32.25

Did not see this at the time. http://screencast.com/t/8HTQBg6S A move to 28 would have been too far.. should have payed up to buy 30.

was looking to buy 28 or 26.50 , but surprised bueyrs found at 30 ... will re-evaluate

Not good trading, but makes up for the other losses.

out 29

bought 26.25 for a scalp

out 30 -- oh well, guess 31 is not the level...

long 31.25

Out 30.50

Bought 31.75

A long from 31s looks appealing but have not really seen the buyers come out yet except at 10:05 for those few minutes.
