ES Journal - 2023/2024

[Laissez Faire]

Yeah agreed, I guess the other futures would have sold off too. I have no idea really.

Seems like this may be the reason for the dump in gold:

 

[Laissez Faire]

Stopped out long for a 3 point loss. Long again 60.50. 2 point stop. If stopped on that one, too, probably waiting for post NFP before any entries.

EDIT: Scratched it for a point loss. Just waiting a bit from here now. Maybe we can hit 50 on this PB.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Report out already? LOL. Anyone who bought the lows should be in a good position now if this rallies (my guess) post NFP.

 

[Laissez Faire]

Oh my. That was a solid 1-minute move. Let's see if it was an overreaction or not.

es/ym trading is not in my favor today but zn is nearly 4k in green for 4 days hold, plan to exit at 109'20.0, let's see.

flat zn, a rolex, kind of like bond trading in recent months.

on nfp, add more jobs but unemployment rate went up, need to read the tea leaves again, cooking the books.

added some little longs here on most of the indicies. Could be about to get beaten up, but for now i'm assuming big dips are gifts. Had a very good week for me so even if i get it totally wrong, hopefully i'll still be up on the week lol

 

[Laissez Faire]

Larger gap down NFP days have a tendency to fill, but not 100 % of the time of course. I'd say bullish if the first 5-minute bar is strong.

If it's weak on the Open, this could sell lower on the RTH session for sure.
