ES Journal - 2019/2020

[Genevian Speculator]

I suggest a thoroughly tested trading plan based on solid price action principles. You might have that and today just was a good day for your plan. Howver, your post indicates that the market seems somewhat mysterious to you, and so maybe your plan could use another set of eyes to see what's under the hood.

Would you care to share one or two of your trades here? Post the chart you use with a little explanation as to how you define your set up, place your stop, target if any? I'll post a judgement-free response and I'll block any PoS who posts a response that has even a whiff of condescension toward you.

Just block any nimrod who responds who who doesn't post winning trades here on the regular, such as @syswizard, @hafez50, @Seaweed, and @Noone123 - all of whom are on my block list as all are a waste of my mental bandwidth.

Offer is on the table. Do you have a journal here, btw? How long have you been trading the ES?

will definetly do so in the evening

Nobody else up for the overnight fireworks?

A month ago, quite a crowd.

I'm short from 2890 (posted in adavnce yesterday) Scale out profits at 2832, 2822, and 2797 ... One target filled, two to go.

I love overnight pullback in up-markets!

All your blah blah blah... and we are right back where we started the week 5 days ago. And two weeks before that. And early March.
2840
Hardly an up market.

Maybe you were misinterpreting his posting. You put the emphasis on the wrong word.

He was probably nervous, angry and shouting:I love overnight pullback in up-markets!

He forgot to add: not in down or sideway markets.

These are my thoughts in this crazy gap down day - Waiting for NQ to finish its spike up, at which point looking for continuation down for ES, would like to pick up some longs in the 2800 zone or little below. Longs should pay well after noon. ... would like to hear yours GLTA

 

[amsterdam]

why are you expecting an afternoon turnaround....i'm expecting the opposite fwiw.

because uptrends persist, & the Fed has my back, ofc one can be wrong

 

[amsterdam]

you could very well be right....and next week could very well be up....I just don't see it for today in terms of sentiment....1st of may, a Friday, we've had a hell of a run up...

I was primarily looking for a swing up to 2875,75, but it's hard to say from here. I have the feeling we won't get a very orderly sell-off either way with NQ being fairly strong in comparison.

Higher time frames look very heavy, though and internals are generally weak so far.

Open gap at 2828.
