Good cover.

Now just wait for the retracement and sell this bad boy hard.

Thanks, but too late for me, at least for today.

I expected the gap to be closed after the open, and not before the open.... So I was stuck in the longs too long....

Maybe I am trying to catch every possibility. I should have just waited till the regular open and position myself for the gap-closing, since (at 1280) we were already close to 1275.

Went Long (2+1+1) 4 contracts at open. Got chopped up for a loss. So reversed into a short (2+2+2) 6 contracts and got chopped up again. Closed trading for the day. Max loss $500 reached.

Hello Goodday,
I always wait a few minutes to see if The ES is settling in a direction after the opening--3 to 5 minutes.

Do you go in before it opens, after the bell or wait?

I use a 50 tick chart to establish my entry point.
