ES Journal - 2023/2024

Seems like you try to go against the tide!!

Maybe you should go with the flow instead of trying to predict what's next.

Just me 2 cents. I might be wrong.

What made you assume I went against the tide? I just checked the market on my cell phone and was baffled by the strength of this rally.

I posted early this morning that I would be expecting 4120 today. I made three trades this morning. One long off the Open. One short trade that I scratched B/E and reversed long for a final long trade.

Took off the last trade on a trailing stop close to 4120 as I had to close down the shop, but admittedly, I did not expect we'd go this high today.

That's kind of rude.

Most of your post today seems to point that you were forecasting the market to go down today.
But maybe I misunderstood your posts. Mea culpa if this is the case.
 
In my view, Tuesday's price movement is a bear trap that will likely result in an effort to surpass the 4172 level, and my anticipation is that there will be an upward trend aiming for a level above 4300. This surge is likely to culminate with Apple Earnings, implying that the market will surge to a new high on the Fed rate decision before dropping during Apple's earnings

SPX 4137 so far today, bears had victory in sight, then came the slaughter, big cull though above 4200.

No worries. I did not post a timely forecast today as I some days to, so I get that it could sound confusing. Off the RTH Open I was strictly looking long targeting minimum 4115, but likely to be 4120.

After that initial thrust higher with 4115 out of the way, I was however not convinced we'd see more upside today, but reversed long again on the breakout bar at 11:25 and took profit at 4118 on a too aggressive trailing stop in hindsight.

While I do like forecasting, I never trade on that alone and need price to confirm.

Did you catch a piece of this?
