Quote from romik:

Why not simply make 1 trade in the am based on first signal and stay put until a current high/low is broken? That way you might not need to make that afternoon trade, which can go either way.

Agree with that until we have a signal that has the potential to reverse which I believe this one does. We still have an hour. Plenty of time for the new trade to run.
 
I ill work on my 15 minute charts to see what they produce.
Thanks.

Depends on the next 2 or 3 15 bars. I view reaction as having a reaction that lasts for a bit. The market can probably be bought above that 1371.25 though I would say.
 
I knew a very smart trader. He said take money out when you can and go to breakeven. 2 pts sounds good on ES. Any thoughts? frogman

You jest, and I smile, but believe it or not, it helps me to overcome my biggest psychological issue....fear of losing a profit. Believing you to be a stellar trader and knowing your attitudes help me to understand the approach one must take.

Thank you b1.

I'm glad it was of some help. The key here is that I may be wrong, but I have defined how much I am willing to risk and I assume from the beginning that it will lose, that way I can stay unemotional during the trade and let it run it's course for better or for worse.
 
Maybe a rethink of the trade/money management strategy is not a bad rethought. Thanks for a great day. See you Monday. Golf is calling. frogman

Stellar trader? I wouldn't call myself that.
