Quote from ammo:

i bought 56 and cxl rplaced down to 51.50, i have to learn to use stops, discipline, more coffee before trading

My first long entry was a little better at 53.50 but got stopped anyway.

the ge 37 options straddle closed around 1.50 ,open int 35,000, that would have been a nice play

Pholeuon, does ESTX50 move in sync with ES? Are you trading from Europe?

 

[Pholeuon]

It is copying ES very well but in principe it is les spiky.
I am in Europe, I am trading it out of ES RTH when it moves usually more than ES.
Ok, it has some independency but in principe it is like younger, not so dangerous twin brother of ES.
They are synchronised, so they always move in same direction, just the tick number can be different /often nearly identical/.
It has more bang per tick because it is 10 Euro.

Thanks, I will check it out. I'm looking for new products to trade outside of ES RTH.

Long ESTX50 3624. Stop 3598.

 

[spersky]

Short 2 ES from 51

Buy stop is at 51.

I think this might be one of those -500 point days. Might take profits there

Stop moved 3626.
