    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    While I'd love to sell this for a juicy gap fill below, all data I'm looking at says that's not very likely today. New highs by the close are more likely, IMO, so I'll rather be looking to get in on a long entry today. Upside might be limited though. IMO, of course. :)

    Meaning...? :) Rise this morning?

    Amp or NinjaTrader

    I'm happy using NT8 and NT Brokerage (Dorman), but would probably go for AMP and some other software if I were you. I'm "married" to NT8, hence why I went this route. My experience isn't as bad as @Tasuki 's, BUT, NT8 seems like a poor platform at the time being and I'm finally experiencing...

    As long as it moves, I'm happy. I tend to agree with those who think the market is heading down, but that does not preclude up days... :)

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    Last week we had 5 negative closes for the entire week. This haven't happened so many times in the last few years. Based on this and some additional analysis, I predict tomorrow having a positive close on the day, i.e., above 2743,25. A large gap down open might void this call, but I don't...

    Semantics, probably. And clueless did perhaps seem a bit harsh, I'll admit. :) Point is - if you're placing a bet that the market will go up, i.e., you go long, you should have an upward bias. When someone say it's better to not have a bias, I interpret that as the person saying the market...

    No. If you don't have a bias or outlook for future price development, you're basically clueless. :)

    I may not be the only one who find it interesting to hear you say "There's no obvious reason to be short here" repeatedly during the end of last year and now saying this. What are you seeing? :)

    Who doesn't? :) I find that ES trades very technically, but tends to have its fair share of 'false' moves and quick reversals/snapbacks before resuming the original direction. So, as a trader you need to come to terms with if you want to sit through deep retraces swinging for larger moves or if...

    Indeed. But I feel it's become worse than it was in the past and I'm specifically referring to a small timeframe. The market still goes from A to B and C and back, but it feels more choppy. Of course, smooth directional moves can happen also. Like the sell off this morning.

    Is it just me or is ES retracing/backfilling even more than it used to a few years back...? Unless you get the very high or bottom this market will pretty much always retrace on you. Example right now. Just made new lows, but snapped back up 2,50 points immediately.

    Sounds reasonable. Are you going short, then?

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    What's your rationale for this call? I'm surprised to see it considering your long bias for such a long time now. We've got Brexit coming up and other stuff going on. On the technical side, we're overextended to the up side and have a lot of air below, so I can definitely see a drop from here...

    Tough market right now, IMO. Maybe someone else is reading this better than me, but I'm getting conflicting signals, so currently flat and done for the day. Knowing when not to trade is just as important as trading. IMO, of course.

    I get your point and I agree. It was very beneficial for me when I was new to trading. But I feel different now. Posting trades now is mostly a distraction. I need to focus on managing my trades and following my system as my trading is short term oriented. I prefer to post a comment about where...

    Covered at 75,25. + 0,25. Getting mixed signals, so not interested in holding.

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    Short 75,50. Stop at 77. Let's try that then. EDIT: Make that stop at 77,50. I got a sell signal and updated data from elsewhere suggests a swing high around 14.30 sets up a sell into the close. But this market have been very whippy today and NQ isn't willing to participate to the down side...

    I used to post a lot of trades, but don't see any reason for doing so any longer. I do however like to make a few comments in between trades when I have the time. No savant here.

    How so? Is that HNS on today's chart? I've had some bearish anticipations myself on the daily, but this God damn market just won't sell off. At least not yet...
