ES Journal - 2015

--02/02/15 Monday afterhours PM. Closed the trade here at 2012.75 and have reversed long here at 2012.75. Initial stop is 1968.75 during RTH.
--02/03/2015 Tuesday afterhours PM. Price is 2040.50. See no reason right now to elevate my protective sell stop. It will remain at 1968.75 for now and will be in effect during RTH
--02/04/2015 Wed afterhours PM. Price is 2024.50. No reason to move stop yet until trade moves in my favor.
--02/06/15 Fri afterhours AM. Price is 2054.25. Need to close a bit higher for my stop to move upwards.
--02/06/15 Fri after hours PM. Price closed the week at 2056.00. Holding trade with same RTH stop.
 
Intraday trend remains up as long as price stays above 2020 RTH in my view.


lot of turmoil in the markets is being caused by the possible Grexit and its ramifications. National movements in other tertiary countries might lead to further instability in EU financial picture. Implied defaults on billions of dollars of loans.
 
Price never reached 2044 for a fill. Please explain.
Feel free to disregard, I get it. However I trade first, accuracy. Posting is secondary. So here is your clarification:

I called the day high and day low with a tick or two.

The day high I posted I had no time to watch live the morning. wasn't at the desk, put the order in at 67.25 and a BE stop, taken out when we moved one tick higher and then we moved almost 100 ticks down. that's trading life.

Posted in the a.m. I would trade the last hour for biggest opportunity.

I was here, I bought the pivot, which is actually 44.50 if you do the calcs. Live posted filled around the time of the actual low and live posted after that all the way to the 53-57 range.

In a bull market week I am going to buy the daily pivot hard. Friday also produced Gann's favorite 50% line (50% between Feb 4 low and Friday high...round/my numbers Feb 4 low 2023 to 2067.5 Friday high, which is roughly, oh yeah aligns with pivot zone 44.50).
