    WTF ES Going Down Fast AH

    Since the book is thinner after hours wouldn't it make sense for a big buyer to drive prices down to get a favorable price. Anyone see the last two days AH action as bullish?

    Do you leave your trading behind for the day?

    If a windfall happens I'll think about it After Hours and maybe celebrate a little. If a big mistake happens I'll think about it after hours also and reflect on what can be done in the future to prevent it from reoccurring . Otherwise 99% of the time it's just another day and it gets left behind.

    Scalping ES

    True , I forgot that this thread was about someone with a 5k account trying to scalp, my mistake. Commissions/spread would just eat you up unless you were trading something with larger tick value like ZB, 6E, CL, ES which could quickly turn that 5k into dust if you suck at scalping. Sure...
