ES Journal - 2019/2020

[Spooz Top 2]

I think I said it a few times.



Remind me - what's the HOD today? My call is below.

View attachment 230282



I've posted a ton of calls and trades which are not hedged beyond conditional probability which is what I do. Losses too.

You posted a shampoo bottle this morning and been 'hinting' at being short all morning.

Earlier this week you started posting exits on a position you never entered in this journal.

If anyone is hedging or being vague, it's YOU.

And now you're going to have everyone believe you've been short this entire time? Why couldn't you share your position this entire morning then instead of posting shampoo bottles and boasting over never being nervous?

LMAO.



If anyone took a swing it wasn't me.

Anyways. You guys have fun. I'm done here for a while.

I don`t post entire trades here anymore... entries, exits, PnL`s /blueprints for guys like you to make money anymore, sorry... If you can`t see the forest for the trees of what i generously add but can`t connect the dots & figure out where the entry is off of a call/setup, then you shouldn`t be trading. I`m not here to impress anyone ... if i`m generous enough to post an exit to show what it is i`m doing, then take it as that vs asking for the entire Sundae....

Shorts were from last nites top of right shoulder on H & S on the 30 min along with sell sigs across the board on larger TF`s... which i tried to share with you ... but you were too busy articulating/ hedging your next long drawn out post so that you`d be covered!

Speedo & NQ got the heads up/ call via PM Tuesday morning ... perhaps I`ll follow their lead as well...... The floor is yours, LF ... I`m outta here!

A collection of about 3/4 of the posted trades since I started the 'close your eyes and go long because of the FED' experiment. Got bored of quoting posts. No multi quote feature on this site?

Anyway, think i'm gonna end the experiment early. Will probably close my remaining long tomorrow on a likely bounce for a loss. Maybe around 3200 or so.

My plan was for the free FED money to possibly stop flowing either on Fed day (today), or more likely at the election time

I'm just not sure that we aren't really due a decent retracement. I mean, it's been nothing short of astronomical. Many gaps below.

I mean, I still DO expect us to just drift up and up and likely get close too or exceed the all time highs soon enough as they continue to throw trillions at it, and i'm sure i'm leaving hundreds of points on the table, but it's getting to the point I'm finding it hard to go against logic up here! It was already 'too high' when I started this experiment! (I know that's bad in trading. Especially in this market, but there you go!)


And no, I haven't made a tonne of money from this! All done on micros. 3 max.

Kick Ass performance!!!

@speedo, NQ, now Spooz.. greatest financial thread in the interwebiverse going the way of the buffalo

Premature..............

Agree.

Now the world has been assured the Fed isn't/won't take rogue actions for the next 18 months. Attention is and will turn in entirety to the main street issues.... unemployment, reopening flatness, tourism on the skids, the abrupt cancellation of "cops" after 32 years, etc, etc, etc.

Fascinating, here in Vegas, Casinos re-opened June 4. Nothing but crickets as to numbers or progress afaict. Lots of hoopla surrounding re-opening though, complete with two thousand free airline tickets from a downtown hotel. They had to give it away to reopen! Restaurants all over town hurting big-time. Still drive-thru only fast food with no inside dining. I see TacoBell (YUM) took it in the shorts for breakfast and late nite. The economy should've never been closed, and sure, something is better than nothing, but financial reality and official lies are hard to miss now. Maybe I should vacay in Spain... 100E fine for not wearing a mask and government mandated rules for all business operations. Nah, Sedona AZ will do my mind wonders!

NQ won't participate fully with a sell-off.
Dow can shed 1500-1800 here. Then take a fresh look for possible retest of the major.
I've been living in RTY for the past months.
Recently (June 1) added YM and MGC to my bag o' tools and tricks.

Good trading to all.

I just flew from miami to Dallas. No one in my row, the row in front and only one person row behind me. TSA was the fastest Ive ever seen.

You've done exceptionally well, and I think your conclusion here is an astute one. Just wanted to say kudos

Another row that leads to another person leaving. Lmao! what a time.

I see you have thoughts about how some short term movement may play out with the NQ / Dow (and that you been living in RTY).

If you don't mind me asking, do you have an opinion on the very short term movement for the Russel? Just curious since you say the NQ won't give as much and that the Dow could shed X amount of points.

Thanks and good trading to you as well!

I must be naive. What'a "row"?

Still some good peeps here such as yourself that provide good content. Sadly I feel this thread largely died with NQ's exit. Oh well - egos will be egos . What can you do.

For whatever reason there seems to be this tendency for post-FOMC hangover in the Powell era. It started back when he was a semi-hawk, but seems to persist even now that he has become the biggest dove ever.
