upside reversal pattern means buy or sell?

It would mean buy, but on the 15 minute chart--very short term. However, the long term trend is up, so it would be allowed to run a bit to see if the overall trend is still strong. Stop would be placed well outside the 134600 reaction low. My stop from the daily charts is much much lower than that.

Quote from Buy1Sell2:

Arnie, are you a day trader?
More...

Mostly. Hold some positions longer...few days to a week or more. On ES I try to "position trade" on a an intraday basis vs just pure scalping. Latley my equity trading has sucked so I have been watching the spu.
 
b1s2, how many ES trades do you do per year without the options trades? seems lie you trade very little given your holding period.

Thanks for the question! I would say that I come up with 3 or 4 major "ideas" yearly and then everything else is an addition to the current idea. So there would be more than 3 or 4 trades each year, but they would be part of the larger trade ideas. With that in mind, my answer to your question is 3 or 4.
 
you get these 3-4 ideas at the beginning of the year or is it more like you see 3-4 major trends as the year progresses?

is your profitability consistent given you trade so infrequently?
