ES Journal - 2019/2020

[Big AAPL]

Well, stop is there for a reason. But, on second thought, maybe I should have gone for the 75 point stop. Just kidding. I don't need to be right all the time, I only need to be right some of the time to make another trade. There's always another day, another opportunity.

(BTW thanks for still remembering this noob )

Remember? One of only five threads I have bookmarked since who knows when...a personal favorite of mine

[Overnight]

A 76 point stop?
Whatever.

My thought on this, is if you have to have such a huge stop, why not just swing it without a hard stop and use the rollover as a stop?

I'm still in the stupid 7831 MNQ long. If I had a 250 point stop in, it would have been wiped out (last Wednesday). Now it is back to only 130 points down. If positive trade news comes out this week, B1S2, your stop will most likely be hit.

ES opens the AH session dropping over 30 points in the first 10 minutes. I wonder who's laughing now.

What you guys seem to not understand is that there was never a real short squeeze today.

Ask him what his target is.

if things go pear shape

They just did, got stopped out of the 2889 long at 2921 (trailing stop)

Some news about Trump trying to obstruct justice to help Juliani, the bots took it on and sold-off..

I wouldn't know and I'm not interested. I agree his stops are, well, not really stops, but then again it's his money. To each his own.

Short and short, looking for yesterday's lows.

Out.

rats, this zig-zag market hasen't given me a 100pt win since Aug

 

[Overnight]

All I know is, Trump needs to secure some sort of agreement with China, or we are in for another 20% drop by X-Mas. We're 20ish% of the way there already.
