Better February and Beyond

More of a tail than I'd like on that candle, but it didn't tag a PP or a fib - it tagged a trendline you could draw of the PM lows before the breakdown at ~6:30. Not surprised it got a reaction there, but I don't typically trust those for reversals...

And now my broker's connection seems to be be broken. Not happy...but I do have stop in the book...
 
System back up. Heart stops when that happens. I took a photo of my chart so I would have my levels in case I had to go to my phone app (but it sucks). Want to see a close above that trendline before I think about moving my stop up. I have a bad habit of moving stops. I'm typing it here to keep myself from moving it...
 
Struggling at prior close, but that's not a spot I usually trust for reversals either on most days (only on days with really really mixed momo signals that stayed soundly within prior day's range during Globex)...
 
Have moved stop to 86.50. I now have bearish moving averages. Statistically I'm looking at hold the long, but it's struggling more than it usually does. Not at breakeven for the stop, but couple ticks behind the recent low and 2 ticks behind the 62% of the bull move from PM to 9:30. I'm wanting to see 15-min close past 89.75, or I might take this off at near scratch...
 
Closed above 89.75, but ugh, this is just slow and weak. Looking at OCA order that gets me out (1) stop of -.5R, (2) limit profit taker at 95.5 (3.875R), or (3) EOD market.
 
My rule doesn't say move my stop. It's back to its original location. Have to remember just 1R at risk... If we close below what I think is support, then I can try to exit quickly, but I would hate to have it tag through, stop me out, and go up...
 
Stopped out. -1R I have to be better about trusting real-time vs. slavish application of my rules. Bear moving averages --> have to take off scratch of look for other side. I know this deep down, but I get one-track mind (as I think a lot of people do)...

Out at 2292.50. 5-min chart overbought, and selling tail on 15-min. If I'd frontrun 2294.25 2 ticks could have possibly filled, but unlikely. Out with small small profit. 2.3R. I am not comfortable shorting at the moment, but I do think a tradeable reversal at -100% is happening. Just depends on R:R for people.

Congrats on the small profit;
i liked all the pro traders ,good + liquid, in ES. But over the years, i noticed cash markets that paid dividends, above 200 day moving average did better, for me . [The weekly candle charts i prefer+ profit may not help you @ all,AmyIT.] BUT since i seldom enter a stock related trend on 3 days up-- that may help you a lot, if you keep wise records......................................
 
I'm in short at 2294.25. Didn't want to distract myself typing earlier because it was going sideways for so long it was making me nervous. Usually I get a faster reaction on a day like today. Goal is ~85.75 or EOD. I will move my stop to breakeven if/when I get a 15-min candle closing strongly below yesterday's HOD.
