A matter of time until we see 2000+ on the ES, so I guess only going long certainly puts the odds in ones favour.
Have most of the regulars finally blew up? : Don't post here much, but Volente, Startraitor, schizo and lots of other names I forget who used to post their trades a lot seem to have gone.
Things seem quiet.
There's always been a very bearish bias in this thread, but the market has been going up most days for years and years. Was bound to wipe most out I guess.
Even on the Nq, the sellers are come in quite fiercely, and it ropes back up. 10:02est 1 min Nq bar shows possible weakness after news release, but then the next bar shows a weak up bar. Not enough to trap the shorts, and the next bar tests the highly nothing to buy with conviction. Then it pushes up hard. Fast forward to 10:16est Nq bar. 1 min bar. Possible continuation here, but the next bar shows minimal conviction. Then the next 2 bars test highs, and then ramp back up. There's no upside conviction until it breaks to each successive high, then it's crazy up. Breakout traders are happy, but those of us trying to follow the moves, it's quite difficult. Never seen anything like it in my 6.5 years of trading
Maybe if u close your eyes and go long like u do. Based upon price action, there's been no setups. The ES push up was right after news release. The NQ hasn't had any decent setups either even though it's flown up. Crazy day. I usually make 3-4 trades by now, but nothing
