ES Journal - 2023/2024

[flash crash]

Keeping any eye on that gap below if we see a dip.

You've become quite the pessimist the last few days, @Laissez Faire

I don't feel qualified to make predictions. However, when I look at the weekly chart, a similar gap from the fall never filled. Maybe this one doesn't fill either?

For tomorrow, the levels I'm looking to buy are Friday's 5519 low, which was the high of the Fed day breakout the week before (6.12.2024) and then 5507.50 which was the high on 6.14.2024. That was the 3rd day of the pullback from the Fed day news breakout high if you count the day of the high itself.

If instead we gap above Friday's high, I will look to buy the slightest pullback.

Here is my "cup is half full" look at your chart.

The summer midnight sun is playing tricks on his brain

AFAIK, Laissez Faire is quite objective most of the time, considers different scenarios and is quite aware of his own biases.

We'll find out soon enough what the market does, anyway

Best trading to everyone.

He's one of the best I've seen on here, without a doubt.

I've been through a couple of these cycles now, and your charts mean shit heading into this election, as COVID fucked it all up.

I'm standing back on this one, because the first shoe to drop will be the prez. debate next week.

A hoot that will be.

Extend that down arrow to the 5K level. That is where I would enter for next long.

Possibly. But we will likely see a temporary bounce at the trendline that I've drawn. Anyway, if we don't get a pop on Monday, a pullback from here looks very likely.

I have to do some of my "real" work today and only have 8AM to 9AM this morning to trade. Two trades netted just over 5 points of profit. Not going to push my luck and give it back.

NQ leading lower. Took out last week's low.

Watching to see if ES takes out Friday's low now.

Rally mode. Bit of a disconnect between ES/NQ on the very Open.

See if we hit 5550 on ES now, then.
