S 5304. 2 point stop. Same play.

Stopped B/E. Good bounce off those news. I will re-short if this fizzles out as I feel very strongly about at least a test of yesterday's close. Unless the whole world decided overnight that yesterday was one big overreaction and rush in to buy.

Yeah, baby. Late and greedy longs just got stuck up here. Let's drop this a bit, please. Locked in 1 tick and HODLING for 88,50. EDIT: On a second note. Make that B/E on the stop. Could see a technical bounce off VWAP here.

Wrong so far. Give it a bit more room. Stop at 03.50.

On a second thought - short 99.50. Stop at 02.50. 11 point target. Rationale: Regardless of today's RTH outcome - a test of at least yesterday's close seems to be a very high probability move. I may be too early, though. And even flat out wrong.

Trailing stop at 99.50. See if we get a push north of 5300 on this leg, but would guess it's culminating in this area. EDIT: Flat at 5300 for 7 points. If I was bold, I'd consider a short in this area for a move back to yesterday's close at least, but I'm not. :) Waiting to see what the RTH...

Well, the obvious answer is that your long only strategy will work very well when the market is moving higher and poorly when it's not. My view is that most days the market moves fairly technically and orderly, but once in a while the market goes unhinged where players simply want to sell and...

Yesterday was an Outside Day Down from ATHs. A fairly rare occurrence over the last few years. I see no strong edge either way on that basis alone. Most of the following days had the main move on the day up, but could see a test of yesterday's low early in the session with a good dip below. The...

My goodness. What a messy last 30 minutes. Got that 90 touch, but with a ton of zig zagging on the path.

Here comes the cavalry. 5290/5300.

Range is nearly 100 points. Down - 1.02 %. Color me surprised if this drops below 70.

Curious. Was today's sell off within your expectations? If you make those type of trades at all.

Not looking for much. Maybe 5285/90. Will scratch it B/E if that hits and see if I get a better price.

Longed 76. Small stop. Try again around 70 if stopped.

My gap is at 68.75. SPX about 13 points shy, too.

Wow. That's quite the day. Just back after taking care of some other stuff. There's an open gap on ES at 70. Possible bounce area. May take it if price acts right there. Closing at the very lows can happen, although less common.

I traded like a chump this morning, but thanks to position sizing techniques (adding to winners and starting out with my smallest size), it seems like I'll be landing on my feet after all. Funny thing is I had this day in my statistical catalogue pre-market, but like I said yesterday, I'm just...

Cool. If practice is the issue with 'swing trading', you can always back-test/replay a ton of historical data. I can see the attraction towards scalping. The general problem is that your R/R is typically inverted and you'd need a very high win rate long term for it to be worth your while. I...

Okay. That's cool. But like I said, starting a thread where you're asking for help with criticism of the very board you're asking for help isn't socially smart and would probably not invite helpful answers. Maybe save the criticism for afterwards if the thread turned to shit, no? Trading is...

NQ still up nearly half a percent. ES barely red. I struggle to see the short side here, but who knows.
