All at the request of the OP, Buy1Sell2. If you don't like it, take it up with him. He alone has the power to bring the ES thread back to where y'all like it.
Refreshing. Perhaps others will follow your lead.
Price is the result of trader's actions, I see no problem with calling it, "it" or "they" or "she" or he". People can call it "yourmomma" for all i care.

I appreciate your honesty as to why you are here but it's not going to work that way. And I'm sorry the "SLA guys" are upset because someone started a thread in the Technical Analysis forum. But that has nothing to do with this journal, and while you are welcome to post your actual trades here you are not welcome to continue endless lecturing and pontificating. There is plenty of room for that in all the SLA threads. This is a journal for actual trades so please abide by that or you will be blocked from posting here. Thanks.
--03/23/15 Mon. Afterhours PM. Short 2095.50. Initial protective buy stop is 2113.00 basis June
--03/24/15 Tues. Afterhours PM. Price is 2084.00. Stop will remain the same. Not enough movement yet for stop to be lowered.
--03/25/15 Wed RTH. Price 2058.50. Will stay short for now. Same stop. Will be lowering stop soon.
--03/30/15 Mon Afterhours PM. Price is 2071.50. Staying short now. Have not changed stop yet.
--03/31/15 Tues Afterhours PM. Price is 2042.75. Staying short for now. Same stop at the moment.
--04/03/15. Good Friday close. Price is 2039.75. Still Short. Price has not moved enough yet to lower my stop. I had thought perhaps I would have had a chance to lower it, but not so far. Stop out levels would all be in the noise.
--4/07/15 Wed Afterhours. Price is 2068.25. Lowering my protective buy stop here to 2086.00. Downtrend has shown no continuation but the bounce has stalled here. I am lowering my stop to a point just outside the noise.

So what you're saying is, you didn't like my chart either. No problem.
Thanks Magna! As you know all are welcome here as you have pointed out.

Correct, posting that chart by itself is just more orating to hear yourself speak... and by itself is out of place in this journal. Now if you posted that chart and simultaneously said "if price breaks to the upside (downside) of my top (bottom) trendline I will be long (short) at price ABC with a target of DEF and a stop of GHI", that would be a declaration of intent to put on a trade. Then when price broke to the upside (downside) you would come back and post your actual trade ie, "I am now long (short) at price etc. etc."
