FUCKING ES ..... i had my buy order @ 34.75 for ages (for a scalp). I should have gotten filled there. BS. This has happened to me so many times with the ES. Makes me feel paranoid that something fishy is up with the deck.

Nothing is fishy. You were just at the back of the line. Use an MIT if you must get in if that price level is touched.
 
Nothing is fishy. But it pisses me off. What the programs/pros are doing is putting those orders in way early. I put my order as the top was being made (that is pretty fucking early). Anyways I'm just going to start putting orders everywhere and then leave/cancel depending if I like the setup.

We all like to call the bottoms and/or tops, part of human nature. I will be trading both sides but I think the move to the downside is exaggerated. No trades yet today though.
 
My experience is that it is almost impossible to be filled on ES unless the price actually moves THROUGH your limit price and touches one tick beyond your limit (however briefly). While I know it's theoretically possible to get filled at the absolute top or bottom, it's never happened to me.

Apparently it's all SpoozTop's fault. :)

I generally put orders in the night before (but usually extreme orders) so that I may be closer to the front of the line. When these are hit, I usually get them executed before the market moves through them. When I put orders in during the session, the market usually needs to move through the point because I'm often at the back of the line.

I think this is one reason why people trade YM, although I prefer to trade ES.

thanks 2006...

what i can say about getting filled at hi/lo tick is that i have a habit of catching it because i scale but more importantly is once the range is established,i sit there all day sometimes.

on that 37.75 fill...i put that order in at 9:50am this morning & did`nt move it,once i felt the lo was in.
 
1/2 position...

L YM @709, based on touch of 11... Maybe now I'll get that 722 exit. no hard stop, will monitor. at best 1:1, hence 1/2 position.

EDIT: Problem posting... tried first to get out @b/e NET... no go, out @ 04, -6(x2) NET. Now short 1/2 position @694, stop @b/e NET

EDIT: No patience for this. Out @685, +8(x2) NET

Stop lowered to break-even at 1537.25.

Looking to add to short on retracement to 1535.

EDIT: Possible bear flag forming. If so, will look to add to short on breakout from bear flag.

EDIT: Bear flag breakout. Added to short at 1533.50, with stop for add-on at 1534.50 (1 point). Stop for initial short remains at break-even (1537.25).

EDIT: Add-on stopped out for -1. Initial short remains in place.
