ES Journal - 2017/2018

[mtnrnr]

long 2729.75 on next breakout of HOD, exited +2.25 quickly on 4500 car vol spike.

Edit: just realized that was where we hit the downtrend line on the daily.

Well, I am 157 points to the good right now, so I don't think the trade has been too bad----

Excellent, may I ask what was your stop when you placed the trade? Apparently you caught a nice price point and was swept up. Always a bit o'luck with every trade!

I dipped my toe into trading ES for the first time ever (and second through fifth) during the last two days. Been kind of liking it. My directional read on a systemic level has improved markedly in the last few months. I'll see how well I can put that to use.

The DOW isn't going to see +300 today I think we can all agree on that.

I want to see it under 200 now.
