This market has shown amazing symmetry lately. Pull up a 60 minute chart as well.

I agree, but I had to redraw my trendline after May 10.

The original trendline from the March 14 low touching the April 12 low and May 1 low was violated by the May 10 low and close. I think that hadfaked more than a few.
 
How we doing today?

I'd expect things to relatively quiet here ( ± 2 pts.) until we get into that last hour of trading.

Times are dynamic, things beginning to look pretty interesting around 14:45 and 15:05. The 15:30 is still intact, last hour reversal in the making.

Not that anyone is asking.

Just,

After being stopped out of my long position earlier for a +2pt gain, I went long again at 1515.50 with a very tight 2-tick stop at 1515.00. PT1 is 1517.50 (+2pts), and PT2 is 1520 (+4.5pts). If 1517.50 prints, I will raise my stop to breakeven.

Stop now raised to breakeven at 1515.50.
 
and my 60 min.

You can see that from about the beginning of the month we have been chopping up and down within a range.

The smaller buffer zone below the horizontal "braket" is "line in the sand". I would be getting short in that area.

where would you place your stop.... 20pts away?
 
20pts? lol. Nope

I have a method that takes an initial signal from a 60 min chart

Then I look at the 5 min for the entry. Works pretty good for me and I scale the stop size based on local volatility. Right now my stop for the ES market is 2-2.5 pts.

This year my hit rate for that method has been 79%
