ES Journal - 2019/2020

[Picaso]

how do y'all work it when you reach daily goal..become more selective or stop for day.? thanks

I don't have a daily goal, I try to start the day with no expectations (though lately I cannot avoid having a bearish bias that is depriving me of good setups). I can make many, few or no trades and I don't stop just because I'm ahead or I've reached an X amount.

I do have a maximum daily loss, just to avoid going on tilt, and if I'm too tired, bored or sleepy I'll take a break or stop for the day.

As i said the mkt could rise. But i do know all chaos will creat great volatility

Only problem B1: you called a bottom every single day since 3400. It kinda doesn't count in that case. Remember all the floors being constructed?
I don't want to hate, just saying that people following this journal will not see your calls as calls anymore. Because they are always the same, not matter what happens in the market.

Only one outraday bottom has been called by me. Floor constructions have been swing and intraday. The Izzy Bottom was called and called well and continues to hold.

Not true Izzy!
The bottom as it stands at the moment was 23 March.
You called a bottom on: Jan 30, 26 Feb, 5 Mar, 17 Mar, 18 Mar, 18 Mar again, 19 Mar, 19 Mar again, 20 Mar, 21 Mar, 21 Mar again, 22 Mar.
And on the 23 March you did not call that day a bottom.

Lol. I'll say it one more time nobody can predict the mkt . How many people saw an 1100 pt upday today? ZERO.
