Not sure why you're quoting what I said to TheApprentice? It was mostly a joke on how well he's been doing lately trading the long side. But sure - I do applaud B1S2 for sticking to his guns and making one hell of a trade off the lows and having the foresight to see this recovery. Not many...

When are you going to start selling the FED trading system for $199 to the public? :)

Your comment from last Friday really helped me today, @vanzandt. I was bullish for my own reasons today, but remembering what you said about Trump speaking during market hours really helped boost confidence today.

Struggling a bit with that 3180 level, but we're up quite a bit already, so I view this as consolidation so far. Certainly not seeing any sell signals, yet?

Trump wants 3200 today.

Trump is speaking soon, too. Probably going to be fairly damn bullish.

3200 is 2,34 %. Why not.

The data I'm looking at indicates a high probability of closing higher than we open. Does not rule out a dip intraday though. The 'problem' is that we're up quite a bit already. Having seen the bad news we've had lately and the market rallying on them - I suppose there's quite a bit of upside...

Stopped. - 20,00. Disclosing it for transparency and journal integrity and all that. ;) It was a swing high. Just not a major one. The market is currently up + 1,6 %. There's not been that many Fridays in the last 10 years or so with such a strong Open. Very, very bullish.

You earned your beer money this week, too! Well done! :)

Can you confirm if your strategy take on relatively huge risk and/or with wild equity swings?

It IS nothing but a gamble if you don't know what you're doing. You're well ahead of many by acknowledging that. A big player have zero interest in 'smashing' your retail position. It's advisable to use a stop to protect yourself against adverse movements. Markets are fairly predictable a lot...

This thread is not about netting 1-2 ES points per day. I only mentioned that trader as an interesting real world example on the topic of what is a good daily take on the ES and how to approach trading the ES. We spoke way before this volatility picked up and I have no idea if he continued...

Sounds good. Feel free to post a chart later if you want. Generally, I find it more interesting to know what people think or see than a mere trade. Yes. I think that's just how it is for most of us. Right now I'm mostly focused on daily consistency and generally don't swing for the fences, but...

I want to check, too! :) Care to share on that script if it's not a secret? So far, this week is roughly playing out as anticipated, but one thing is to see it and another is to trade it/monetize it with real bucks on the line. I was short earlier as posted on that screenshot, but if I were...

Great call on the 3115, @IB_Dude Like I said - I didn't see us trade that high up if lower on the day, but we certainly did.

Yeah. Down - 0,59 % was all that was allowed today. :) I'd be surprised to see new lows from here today, but you never know...

Today? It's my view that if we make a good swing above 08/10 from here, we're done below for the day. Normally, at least.

Really defending that 3100 level, but still have a good 3 hours left here and we might see some congestion here before the next attack from the bears. Just like we did earlier before breaking the prior LOD.

Breaking a rule here, but decided today was one of those days where it would be worth it. I was doing some other work while still watching the market and decided it was worth an additional 5 points of risk. Could easily get stopped out here, but the potential of a decent slide is here for sure...
