The difference though for me is that when trend is up, I generally skip obvious sells on very short term charts since the rarely have follow through. I look for follow through trades---

B1S2, you must be more of a swing trader - the 2-5 day outlook ?

Longer term position player looking to post here some shorter term ES trades to begin to get a feel for the intraday movements etc. Some positions will be held overnight and I will use this as a training ground to get stops put in at correct levels etc. It may take me a while to get good. I am used to holding positions for weeks and months.
