And stopped for a point. May not do much more today.

Move stop to B/E at 23. Let's see if that was the LOD or not. Offering 40 to exit. Could sell back in yesterday's range, too. I don't have a strong opinion on that for today, but it's hard to see a sell currently with NQ mooning. EDIT: Need to step aside for a bit. Put the stop at 22 just in...

2.5 point loss. Gap filled. Longed 23 now. Stop at 19. Last bullet for today.

ES was the stronger one this morning while NQ was pulling back. Now it's the other way around with ES kind of stuck and NQ mooning as usual, LOL. Let's see if big brother can pick up now, too. :)

Nah. Let's keep it at 24 for now. Don't want to get stopped out on 'noise'.

Lucked out. Weak dip - check. Let's see if there's enough strength to push to 45 or not. Not much happening so far. Might scratch it for a point and a half at 25 if we go down again.

Make that 23.50 on the stop just in case.

Could be. I just went long at 26.50, but I may be too early and will scratch it at 24. It's a weak dip into Friday's high so far. Don't like to push the long side here after such a big move, but the market seems to be holding up well so far and it's still a crazy bull market. :) Maybe 45 or...

That clears it up. Everyone thinks they're special, better than the rest and that they will be the exception to the rule. Most people won't. :) The challenge in trading is the low barrier to entry and an entire jungle of frauds who are selling the dream making it seem easy and within reach.

Still not sure what's your angle. Seems like you're trying to pick an unnecessary argument. The point was to manage the OPs expectations as the chances of becoming a success as a retail short term trader are slim.

You're joking or what's your angle?

Not saying it can't be done. Just saying it's about as realistic as... "Hello guys. I'm in high school and decided I want to be a Formula 1 driver. Any tips? Which books do your recommend?" :)

The best advice you'll ever get (and may end up ignoring) is to forget about short term directional trading as a retail trader without a mentor (unlikely). Even if you had a mentor there's no substitute for experience and that's thousands of hours of screen time and experience through multiple...

As always in this game - back-test and do your own research.

SPX up + 1,94 % on the week. Only 0,54 % on the day. I bet there's enough juice for one more squirt. Just not sure how high. ES 5625? 30?

Another risk free $$$ day in the markets. LOL. 5620 just hit which is the number I said I had in mind this morning. Doesn't seem like the HOD yet, though, with 90 minutes left.

I do see that the usual suspects were looking for a sell today...

Might be a lot of 'heroes' trying to short the round number at 5600.

FBO off the LOD. Took the long again at 92. Delayed entry, so feel free to disregard. Shooting for 5610.

That was fast. Could be it for the HOD. Maybe one last gamble if we snap back up.
