Clowns ES Daytrading Journal

Quote from ESclown:

Im very scared of the TL up and if it bounces i may trail and stop myself out. If it bounces of TL and the comes back down - i will be quick to jump back in.

I took virtually no heat on this trade - apart from 1 tick. Most likely a test of 78 in order so i would rather get out b/e and then try again.


We shall see - price action dictates all my entries and stops.

Perfectly holding that line so trail is set.

The thing with my system is that if something changes i will get out quick and get back in if i again see confirmation of the original trade. I am not concerned too much about commission or re-entering trades - i try to stay as emotionally detached as possible.

Good trade if you're still in it. I would've got out at 275 around 10:50.

I am very good at holding when in a trade. I went out of my office for 2 mins to grab a sandwich and by coincidence it missed by bracket cover by 1 tick.

Still in the trade - don't mind giving back a chunk of the gains but still holding until i see a shift in trend.
 
It is approaching my first long zone at 64-65 - might provide a healthy bounce from there.

However, my ideal target will be at 57. Don't mind riding out potential bounces as profit has been locked in with my trail.

Now to let this run - no chance of scale out with my 1 measly contract :D
I always let my winners run as i need that 20x risk every month or two.

Its hit the first buy zone. However, action is particularly weak right now and often market can blast through a zone like this on these types of days.

It means i will be tightening my trail. Not exiting until it hit my exit parameters.
 
Looks like support is coming in here @ '65.

Kudos to you for posting your live trades on a chat board.

I would find it irritating as hell to have to talk my trade while trying to concentrate on the trading also.

It is getting bit difficult to post immediately after i have entered or exited a trade as it means i have distract my attention from the screens.

However, the advantages of letting my trades be know to public makes me try hard to stick to the plan and do well.

I hope newbie traders can get a nice insight into the ups and downs of a trader. I try to be as honest as i can with my trading and i am not here for an ego boost when trades go my way.

Also, even though i consider myself to be a poor trader i hope maybe someone is getting something out of anything i post here.

All the best to you Mandlebrot.
 
Quote from ESclown:

Ideally a perfect short would have been at the 76 region today. I think bulls still may be strong.

A break below 64 today would be a big tip in strength back to the old bears who have probably been licking their wounds as of late.

I wonder how many Bears have stops above that 1400 level??

I want to see a move 57-59 region next few days.

I really want to see this 64 region break today putting some control back the bears.

Shorted at 76.50. High risk trade as gap still not filled.

Very risky so may move stop to b/e lets see how this goes. Needs to break 74 if we got anything here,

Longer term suppost zone has proved itself here. If they are going to break this zone most likelt be done in the evening session.

Im out of my short at 67 for a juicy +9.5.

Net +7.5 on the day now.

May look to re-enter if i see something develop.
