Short at 1264.25; stop at 1286.25
First profit at 1260.25, second at 1259.00

I hate to say this Andy, but I think your stop on this trade looks
too big, wide, giant, humongous, lost in space compared to your
profit targets. I think 22 point stops are too big for intra-day trading.

Or maybe it was a typo...

Trade 12/01

I tried it again today. Short ES at 1265.25, stop at 1268.25. I got out around the close at break even.

guten tag (sorry about spelling - you know what i mean )

youre not taking Rhooks anymore then - there was a good one on your chart i think just before taking out the previous days high ;-)

will be interesting to see if we get a down move today - as that looks like a 123 towards the end of the day - could jsut be congestion though.

good to see you back.

i think it was a typo. looking at the chart and the technique, 68.25 looks like the logical stop not 86.25. i could be wrong

Hi Fredd,

I am looking for any kind of trades not only for the RH and 1-2-3 at the moment. Especially in the ES you find other ways to trade. It's trading mostly sideways and the trends (if there is a trend one day) last only for a short time.

Happy trading

Andy

andy - how are you determining your first exit? usually you use a set number of ticks - but not this time it would seem.

nice trading

fred.

Hi Fred,

first target was the same as my risk.

What trading platform are you using for daytrading? Also, how fast and reliable is the internet connection in the DR? I assume it's broadband... Also do you use some kind of a backup internet connection? Thanks!
