[Laissez Faire]

2 tick stop now. Hold if we take out the HOD. Maybe a re-entry if stopped.

Market's a bit overextended short term probably, so we're pushing it here. NQ ripping, though.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Scratched it for a point. See if I re-enter. Fast market this morning.

Looking for washout, the MMs like to hit everyone’s stops (longs). If you look at 5-60 min charts you will see frequent (look backs) for confirmation of trend. If the ‘look back’ pivot fails then it heads to the next regression.

I'd appreciate a minimally annotated chart pointing to what you are referring to as a "look back pivot." I don't mean to cause you any trouble so no problem if it isn't something you want to do.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Longed 85. Small size. Legging in. 5 point stop.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Stop at B/E. May add a bit if we get moving, but not sure today's the day for that. Struggling to get moving here, but there is a bid here.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Fast market! Could be it for today on the upside. Don't think I have the guts to short this, though.

Maybe one last long a bit later.

Bad ISM --> Oh, let's sell

Bad ISM --> Oh, now they have to lower rates, let's buy!

 

[Laissez Faire]

Stalking a long around 67. Maybe all the way to the gap.

 

[Spectre2007]

careful with longs tomm..

last few days too many cascades down, price wants to 'oh no the economy recession could be bad' scenario.. means contracting PE's. Plus WWIII on tap.

 

[Laissez Faire]

@v-shape-0DTE promised a massively bullish day. We want our money back.

Let's see if the gap can reverse this or not. Looks weak for now.
