okay. So say you dont want to know the reason why the bull flag works. But if you cant understand why it works, how do you expect to read price correctly enough to exit at the right time ? They both go hand in hand.

Yes, you are correct. You're being too literal though. I'm saying that without understanding why the pattern works, you can not cherry pick them accordingly. For example, double bottoms have no positive expectancy alone. There are other factors that make some work and some not. You need to...

Forget the patterns. Patterns are just that, patterns. They won't make you money if you don't know the structure behind the pattern. Not every pattern works, and you need to understand the structure so you can cherry pick them accordingly. Same goes with gaps. Therefore, your system will...

just paper short it today. Not like you are gonna lose any money LOL

2nd push up is completing. Looks a little buy side heavy though. Last post of the day. Thats my gift to the ES journal for the day lol

1st push up failure complete. Chart attached to see how the pattern plays out

Well, I was head faked on this nonexistant push up, but the move down was fairly obvious, but a bit rocky and I caught almost 2 points of it. Downtrending day seems unlikey as we have a lot of confluence. I'm hoping this day becomes one of my 'multi-stage afternoon reversal' plays...

out for +1 total. Can't wait for this market to top so we can have some volatility back !

out 1/2 @59.25, tight stop for rest @58.75.

Long @58, stop @57.25 Target is 62 for first half if possible Edit: widening stop to 56.75 due to price action

4 for 4 trading today. Great day! Grabbed the quick pop up, the morning move down, and took 2 trendy longs. +10 points today. Slump over!

out at 51, +1.5. I had my finger on the sell button, right when it rocketed up. I'll take this profit as a gift, as my system had an exit signal at about break even.

Long @1749.50 stop @47.75

All out, +2.25

Last long of the day. Long again @46.25

Flushed out the sellers, nice momo Long @1746.50. Next 15 mins will determine whether I hold this to 1750's You all get to witness how not to trade today :)

in short with you @44.50. Quick exit if this doesn't push down. We are right on 15 min, 200ema. :eek: edit: out -2 ticks. Lots of small losses today. Brutal
