Today was one of them days that we all live to forget. X_Trader crashed twice on me today while in multi lot trades, I didn't even realise straight away, good job I use a separate feed for charting/quotes. Then something happened to the internet connection...Fill window in the end of the day showed 20 extra lots short when I closed everything prior on the phone. Big losses today. Unbelievably unlucky today. Hope I was the only one this has happened to 2day.


Sorry to here of the bad day. I use a numeric keypad for fast entry. Hot keys for buy at bid, buy at ask, cancel, close etc. I also have voice prompts so when pressed it says Buy, Order placed, Fill complete etc. I have different rubber feet on the keys so that in the dark I can find which key is which. The point is close is close all at market I like to press this one often, just in case.:)
 
Trend is certainly up this morning as we test 1300. If the market will comply, there may be a set up for a triple bearish divergence later today on hourlies.
 
Quote from romik:

another bearish one

Yep--that's it! I would mention here Romik, if you could keep one eye on a longer term chart, you may be able to catch bigger point targets with slighlty larger risks than you are taking now. It would just be an additional trade to what you are doing now.

As a counter trend /reversal trader, I am always preparing myself for what might happen. I see the formation begin and then monitor for confirmation. I like to be ready.

Hey guys,

Frequent listener, and first time caller on this
thread. A very good thread at that.

I day trade equities and (now) play with the ES.

I like "sure" things (like Porgie) and have done well,
just never posted my positions.

I have found that I very much like the late hours trading for the .75 to 1 handle clips that Romik mentioned yesterday (this am).

My question is this:

Is anyone looking forward to the US Prez speech tonight?

I think it will add some vol to the mix...correct me if I
may be wrong.

I also feel that the MKT is due for a bounce (however short term
it may be)...

I am looking to long the ES here in the next few hours,
(perhaps)....

TO: B1S2, GREAT job on this thread..I have banked because
of you.

Thanks again,

Monaco

:D

Thanks you for the nice comments. We'll try to keep it going in the right direction here. I must say though that surely you meant you banked on someone else's advice or discussion in the thread and not mine!

I had this kind of thought in my head about intraday overnight, but I eventually dropped the idea. I much prefer the Euro FX overnight due to the increased opportunity for profit especially after midnight. Also, the Euro fx is easier to trade technically I believe. When I catch a reversal in the Globex EC contract , it generally yields more profit than the ES does. It has a much better trending ability. There is a reversal and strong trend on hourlies nearly daily.--I still like trading ES, don't get me wrong.
 
I'll work with the 12 minute chart on this one. Short at 1299.75

There has just been a failure swing of RSI on the 12. The Histogram is a little taller than what I like but we'll get out if wrong.
