ES Journal - 2023/2024

[Bad_Badness]

GM All: 5 trades 80% win, net 15 ticks. I am liking this put the all my efforts into the code and let it run. The Algo has much better discipline than me at 6:30 AM!

Edit-Update: Two more trades. Was long for that drop before the pre lunch move up, so ended up BE. Caught a small scalp ont he way down.

7 trades net +24 ticks

EOD update:

12 trades 66% win rate, net -9 ticks. As it turns out, I think the Algo was not connected to the broker the AM. I was adjusting stuff late last night and I think I forgot to re-connect.... Still smoothing out the workflow.

So. Who thinks we’ll see all time highs again this week?

None of my business but we could definitely make a new ATH this week.

No sign of reversal yet.

I feel ES is going to retrace that entire down leg quicker than it made it.

I do! I've felt that new highs would be here soon since last week. I don't know if the new highs will stick and hold, but new highs coming this week I feel.

I've been assigned a new project at work that's going to keep me very busy for the next 4 to 8 weeks. I'm trying to keep abreast of the charts but not sure I'll be able to carve out much actual trading time until mid-September at the earliest.

16 Aug - 50 points day range

Bad news for the day traders;
the day range is decaying badly.
When will it improve?

Time for my extended coffee break.

8 Aug - start of the recent uptrend

Decaying day range

15 Aug - 100 points day range
16 Aug - 50 points day range
19 Aug - 65 points day range
20 Aug - 35 points day range

Not a good sign for the day traders unless there is some significant events/news.
