ES Journal - 2023/2024

[Laissez Faire]

Days like today usually hit 2 % on the high. Possibly more.

That's 5580 ES. Still 30 points to go if so...

I never slept continuous hours, I would be up checking prices on device next to bed. To get a pulse of the market and what it’s current state is, need to keep tabs on it.

Holy f**k. You do this always? Been doing the same this summer when volatility spiked, but getting back to normal hours soon. The Asia session (night time in Norway) is usually shit anyway.

There was a guy in another thread who said he slept with headphones on giving him price ticks in form of sounds when sleeping.

Just when you thought you had heard it all...

Good Morning everyone. Algo churning a bit: 7 trades 3 wins, 4 loss, -4 ticks net. All Long. Still trading
Largest loss -18 ticks

Just figured out why the churn. Algo is not flipping into Gap mode from Scalp mode!!! we are up about 168 ticks from the bond open

This revovery probably caught a ton of players by surprise. Add in a bit of FOMO from fund managers who missed it and CTAs probably switching long and this move is perfectly rational.

5554.75 high of the day somebody?

Thanks for the show. Have a nice day. It´s beach time!

I stand corrected. ES 2 % is 5585.

5580 for conservative measures.

Until someone sells this, it's one sweet and beautiful up trend day. With ES 2 % at 5585, I honestly don't see why it can't go as high as 5600 today.

You may have caught the generational dip of a lifetime.

Need to get out of this range soon. If not it's likely a choppy late session like yesterday that doesn't really go anywhere...

Still fancy 5580 if we get moving.
