There is some magic at the 2455 ... definitely a crime scene of sorts

Yes, I was thinking of shorting before getting a bite to eat. Expensive lunch.

Edit: Looking to add on another rally failure if not stopped out.

My entry on that pullback was 70 on the bar takeout

Headed out to swing room. I'll check in on the rip a little later. Talk to you soon.

Depending on volatility, I tend use a much longer bar than you as I generally am looking at swing positions that may represent partial hedging of my option positions. Right now I'm using a 30 minute bar. Yes, I chased badly, but at least it was on minimal size. Now looking at buying a April 9, 2020 2470/2340/2210 ES put 'fly @ 20.00. Positive theta trade with neutral gamma. Delta the equivalent of 1 short MES per 'fly. If filled on the 'fly, I may put an order for another while closing out my short MES at the market.

Filled at 20.00. Now it would be glorious if my buy stop held on my MES position.
