ES Journal - 2023/2024

my YM loss on the long took away my ES gains for the day.
NQ luckily only slightly red on the day (holding fairly strong really) so i'm barely down on the day which seems weird as i'm sure i got it completely wrong today all round lol

Holding small NQ L for now.

Probably calling it

Have a fun weekend all!

Working a buy stop above market in case it breaks out. At this point, everything seems possible including continuation lower.

I was reading the market ok: shakeout at the news, then bullish, then retracement... but the last couple of hours, I'm clearly not seeing it.

I thought we were going back up to 5570 or so... but so far... maybe some shorts closing in the last 30-75 minutes?

Edit: Where's @schizo when you need him?

Tomorrow for sure. Today is your bear trap.

Filled!

Close below 5522.50

I'm not one for predictions, but I feel we could see this thing trade below yesterday's Globex low and then rally into the close and close flat for the week.

The ES trying to be my friend and make me look smarter than I am. But if I were that smart, I'd have been short instead of flat, and I would have covered at the low for a proper profit.

Outside Day this late and bidless at this point. Not feeling very bullish at the moment.

I checked my data on this. It's rare that an Outside Day this late doesn't see a bit of continuation.

I'm however at a point where I tend to distrust bearish signals.

Calling it a weekend, too. I missed both this drop and the rally of the lows.

still long NQ. Caught the short on ES this morning

 

[theapprentice]

again

I'm thinking of this as bringing my average price on my NQ long down haha

 

[flash crash]

It might look a mess but it was worth +5.5 points of profit. I have a road trip for work today so this might be all I do today.

1st trading day of July today. Usually a green day.

I would guess we’re stuck in the lower half of Friday’s range in today’s RTH session and close green. Believe it or not, but I’m currently short for the 2nd time pre-market.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the entire day reverses back up, but what I wrote above is what my statistics suggest as most likely.
