allright, price action today shows no pullbacks, we are at a major res line at 1440,everyone knows this number,selllers are not coming in, this is accumulation or distribution,i think its going higher,i;m already short and don;t want to cover here,this is where i often get nailed...this is my mental block spot in trading...any thoughts

I'm short 20 ES contracts here as well. Upwards is indeed the bias, just fading into that resistance for now until price shows me different.

I'm watching if we stay above 13000 on the dow and 1339.50 on the ES is the line in the sand (R).



Edit: Watching for the test of 37, lowering stop.


Moving stop down to BE +1
 
ammo,

on another thread, you, yourself said that since the open, there has not been one lower low on the 15minute bars.
Why do you want to short a market that is in an uptrend?

WIth this much buying, there is often a small retracement (early in the afternoon) that attracts another little buying spree. I'm waiting to see if 1) if there is a retracement with a little buying to follow, and 2) what happens to price in that (if it occurs) buying spree. RIght now I can't rule out 1446.50-1447.25 for high today

Believe me, I am not telling anyone how to trade, I just know that the biggest losses I have ever incurred have occurred when I was either trying to pick a top in an uptrending market, or pick a bottom in a downtrending market.

good trading to all.

Loaded for bear on the short side again. Shoulda, coulda, woulda on the last trade. That was a simple washing of the weak hands, which I fell victim to.

Just a heads up as to why I fade into strong resistence areas and that ammo wasn't necessarily wrong. I allowed the pressure of being monitored move my stops too soon. But nonetheless, just showing those in doubt that watching price build in real time is not a myth IF you break it down into small bits. Note many small trades turn into longer term trades. The object is prevervation of cash, not home runs.
