Seems like lately, outside of scalping for ticks, ES has become basically untradeable after the first 60-90 minutes of RTH. Maybe time to look at some other instruments??

NQ just completed a PERFECT 50% retracement from L to H, hmmm...

Once again, we struggle with the European cash close. This is becoming a disconcertingly consistent trade

Seems like you did the right thing.

Guess we're gonna find out eventually. I'm just glad I closed out my long from 93 with a one point profit before the news, rather than holding for a potential fifteen-plus handle winner.

Hindsight is always 20/20, and the rearview mirror was made for backing up, right??

Clearly we have a date with vwap....if we break through that, then 1402, and if we break through THAT, well, what a glorious fake-out this morning has been

DMA at 1405...drama in store?

Quote from Laissez Faire:

Trail a tight one now and see if you can get 1403-1404.

If only I had read your post before I closed out...

Next time send me a PM!!

Annnnnnd...went nowhere. :eek:

Would be real funny and cruel to the bulls if this goes below 1403 and closes under it.

NQ busted through its vwap. ES sure to follow.

Then what?
