Yes. Yes. Yes. I swear to God, people would do so much better in trading if they had no idea what they're trading. So many are trading their opinions and political views and convictions instead of what's right in front of them.

The OP's opening post is a rant, criticism and attack on ET. What kind of help should he seriously be expecting? Sure, ET can be a harsh place, but there are and have been many good people here over the years who will actually help you or give some sound advice, but nobody wants to be dealing...

Mid-range RTH (5325) is a level I like to pay close attention to. A day like today typically recovers towards that area if it doesn't close at the lows (rare). I see a good short signal at around 15:37, but I didn't take it. I don't understand well enough what's going on right now, so I...

A normal day doesn't move 10 points down in less than 2 minutes, etc. I got chopped up taking multiple small losses near the LOD, but redeemed myself by adding to a winner taking on a bigger position size when we finally broke out. Position sizing can be an edge, i.e., start out with your...

We may view markets differently, but by off script, I do of course refer to the selling post FOMC minutes on heavy volume. Everyone is trying to figure out what the hell the new information means and the market is moving wildly (unpredictably).

Crazy move. I took profits on longs there on a trailing stop (24.50). DONE. I was looking for the numbers mentioned earlier, but when it overshot, I got greedy. Let's see if it can go even further. It will be without me at any rate.

Problem is today is probably not a normal day. Tougher to predict when we go 'off script'. I still think ES hits 5322 and quite possibly your NQ target, though.

So, how high can we go by the Close? 5322/25 seems possible, but wouldn't be expecting more than that. Surely they can't V this higher than that?

You could join @wxytrader's study group. :) Beyond that, never heard of a forum dedicated to scalping. I get the impression there's quite a few scalpers here, though.

Bidless market. Usually takes me some time to adjust to the short side. I can see this dropping further, but no way I'm shorting this here.

Thanks. Been a while since we've seen this type of selling.

Unless the FOMC minutes have any surprises, I can easily see this V back up.

That would be fantastic as this low volatility grind at ATHs is boring. I doubt it, though.

Up or down?

I think it's extremely important to be brutally honest with yourself in this game. If everything clicked 6 weeks ago - why are you still trading 1-2 micros? If you're a prior poster (writing style is similar), you were trading micros 1-2 years ago and also said you were trading at a very high...

ES hits 5350 or more today. Now, surprise me and sell off. :)

Interesting. The 70s are a long time ago, though. I'm sure 'price action' changed even since I started day trading around 2010. I believe Marty Schwartz said something to the same effect, i.e., he wasn't able to make money day trading index futures in today's markets. And that's a guy who...

NQ hit 18800 and ES nearly 5350. Nice.

I think your posts are funny. I also think you'll be wrong eventually. But yes, I'm with you on the bullish sentiment. I think this market have plenty upside this year and nobody can deny it's incredibly strong.

Explosive move to 5350 is possible here.
