Be on that one

Seems to me that if we hold the low so far today we can rally last 30 minutes
BUT, market looks weak, likely to go to 950 to 960 for an IT low

short 5 @ 1021.75

Tight stop on this one, looking for 3 or 4 points

Bot 5 Es @ 1008

Looking for another 5 @ limit 1003

 

[millionaire7]

Is there a way to calculate the stop value on ES depending upon the volatility index. 2 points used to be a good stop value for ES, but recently it is getting hit within couple of minutes of the trade.

I generally trade 5min, 10min charts.

Thanks for any reply.

The bear mkt loves to draw in the bulls then massive selloff into the close.

the future for the sp 500 played out by a few months ahead in the xlf...

a chart analog that is predictive.

You may use ATR function, or just cut your leverage in half and double your stop size or something like that.
