ES Journal - 2013

[CahaTrader]

Doubled down in the morning at open for shorting VIX futures. Had a good run in the first 15 minutes, reversed all losses from premarket. Closed my VIX short, SPX long closed.

Going to wait for a pull back to re-enter, plan on holding overnight into jobs data tmr since I think the numbers will be inline and the VIX has further room to fall if that's the case. I doubt we take out 1663 today and reclaim 50 dma, but it's certainly possible. More likely we take it tmr after data since there's hedging in VIX for those non farms.

Quote from Trader.Fighter:

Was a bit afraid of not being compatible with journal with so many bears and average downers but thank you

It appears that way at times, but overall it is a pretty diverse group in my opinion.

As well as trading time frames and triggers.

Quote from Trader.Fighter:

SPX Gap filled.

Exited long position that began at full size and increased to a leveraged one as price started to act right initiated from last fridays close with several average ups gathered from pullbacks his week.

Easy play is now over, too much uncertainty with G20 and Jobs tomorrow, staying on the sidelines til next week.

Flat and 100% cash.

Very nice trading and prob smart to stay flat. I got flat for this week as well.

Back in now as SOX follows BKX. Much smaller though

 

[horton]

Must have NDX 35 Failed Offer now or will bail. They are absorbing the cash order flow.

 

[horton]

Scratched but still long bias given JPY 100 Failed Offer.

 

[horton]

Trying again against NDX 35 Held Bid. A little larger but still small.

 

[horton]

Sorry Held Offer. Won't give. Done.
