trying to short 89.50
keeps hitting there and cant get filled

cancelled, screw it, didn't realize it so late

I missed it also, 89.75.

Been long most of the day ES and NQ. presently looking to go short ES 2387.00/75 area stop 2389 . Obviously pending the PA at that number, waiting.

Got this one earlier. 5 points.

Stop size I use on entry for ES is 9 ticks. Target 1 = 9 ticks then stop = + 1 from entry, 2nd Target 18 ticks and managed by trailing stop to attain a bigger trade. But they are my defaults on entry. Can be adjusted a little depending on ATR, S/R, OrderFlow imbalance and Volume. I don't believe one size fits all. You need to adapt to the fast and changing market. Easier said than done.
