Clowns ES Daytrading Journal

Shorting again at 49.25. Again very risky as short can get blasted here so i am using extra tight stops.

Target is 43.50 on this one if it goes my way that is.

Thanks AAA - have been licking my chops for the short side all morning.

I am from UK so have been watching the market for about 4 hours now sitting on sidelines. I was reluctant to put on some day trade positions before the open because i was also short in my swing account.

No longs in times like these unless we get a clear change of direction.

If the markets tank today i wonder how they will open Monday, after Bubble Ben's bearish bank talk yesterday. All the slower MMs - how will they react Monday.

All i know is that i want to keep my swing position on which is now heavily in the green into Monday unless we have a major direction change here.

Otherwise stick with shorts until it is clear we have trend change. Also, note if we do have a trend change then long positions will offer some massive opportunities as many weak shorts get squeezed.
 
Seems to be selling off in a wedge like pattern or shorter term time frames. Want to see more of explosion of trend to the down side.

Otherwise i think their might be some nice intraday opportunities to take a few points to the long side.

Ideally i want see a bounce of 40 before getting interested in longs for a few scalps.


On a side-note i think i am finally getting carpel tunnel syndrome - damn typing on this laptop and using 3 different mice is not feeling too comfortable. Left fingers been tingling a bit recently indicating some nerve compression. Anyone else ever get this? Anything tips to help avoid this?

I've had some discomfort in my hands before from using a mouse too much, nothing like tingling. My only advice to alleviate it is to cut back as much as possible on the use. It will go away. I know this is hard, but that's the only thing that will really work. I think that also make wrist braces that help.

Thanks for advice - i guess their are perks to this job and problems as well.

I think i will try to avoid all use of the PCs over the weekend and get some kind of wrist support. This can't bode well for my boxing.

I will try to find a way of getting rid of my other 2 mice and having and getting a universal mouse. I don't know if this is possible though will look into it.
