    The f''king dip appears to be bought. Once again.

    What is the best software for this problem?

    Hi, I'm responding since I've been curious to possibly create something similar. Can you elaborate here? Is 'market data' raw data or derived data from your backtesting, algorithms or whatever? Do you plan on utilizing this in real time or just for EOD historical backtesting? And you're...

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    So, yesterday certainly had range, but was there structure? I think yesterday's action were a bit messy with fairly strong counter moves. While the last weeks have been slow, I still think they've provided quite decent trading opportunities within those smaller ranges. I've been averaging...

    Update. Year to date we're up 24,21 % on a closing basis (Monday 2nd December). If we look at the highest pricing, 3154,26 (Wednesday 27th November), we're up 25,83 % on the year. If we are to match 2013 - we'd need to see 3250 by year end, i.e., a 100 more points. Any chance that will...

    I don't have long term positions on as I mostly day trade, but I've been bullish on this market from week to week for the last month or two as per my posted calls. I do however share the sentiment of the bears in this thread and I'm sure this market will correct, even substantially, in not too...

    Just a cute little pullback today closing down 1,23 % or 38,75 points. If I were a long term bull, I wouldn't be worried yet, although I would be cautious and paying attention. Due to the inflated values of the indices - smaller percentage change moves means fairly large moves in point value...

    13/23 last trading days made ATHs. The market's pretty much going higher in a straight line these days.

    I probably have a thousand questions about that as I'm fairly blank on the subject. But for starters. Assuming I want to do a directional play - weekly or longer. What advantages are there to using options versus an outright position in ES futures? Might be a better place for this...

    Not unlikely.

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    Thanks. I think I have 4 in a row now which played out fairly well, but the call for this week is already put to shame. Not a surprise though - as this is a bull market going higher until proven otherwise. And I didn't have any hopes of anything beyond a small pullback from here. Weekly options...

    The probabilities played out this week as well. Maybe I should start considering weekly plays. :) Let's not bore you with details, but the last times this weekly pattern played out was in 2017 and both suggests continued down side the coming week. Not expecting a sell-off, though. Something...

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    I don't mind anyone's calls, to be honest, although I don't tend to listen to them. That's not offensive to anyone, but I firmly believe trading is something that needs to be based on one's own research and beliefs. I just found it odd that he's now using charts to point out the obvious, while...

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    I hope not. :) I just found it odd that you posted those charts to allegedly show an obvious up trend, yet yourself was oblivious to the trend down during the end of last year and then became bearish during the strong up trend which have lasted for most of 2019.

    How is this pattern new? Anyway, if you found a pattern repeating itself; exploit it. :) PS: Except for a select few periods over the last 10 years, I feel this market have pretty much always ignored bearish news.

    I'll take a closer look later tonight or tomorrow. However, I don't think you can explain away or risk manage away the fact that you were long during a 605,00 point correction and subsequently bearish during a bull market. You have however been on the correct side of the market for the last...

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    Exactly how does those charts explain the fact that you've been calling this a bear market for the entire year (2019) until a few weeks ago and were massively long during the entire correction at the end of last year (2018) when the market corrected 20,44 % down / - 605,00 points? If you're...

    Massive bear market topping going on right here.

    We shall all know in the fullness of time. :) I feel like what you're saying have been true for a very long time now. There's always uncertainty in the world and there's always something going on. There's been a multitude of reasons for this market to go down for a long time now, yet it's...

    Hard to bet against this market, but I think there's a chance we have a short term top here (3128, ES).

    So, we have 3 weeks in a row, each making ATHs and closing at top of the range. The last time this happened was at the end of January 2018 with a weekly net change of - 3,84 % the next week. Maybe the bears will finally have their week? :) Beyond that, I got a 10/11 chance of next week...
