Plan the Trade

+ 19 bailed out of both too soon, but no revengin'. Gotta start building the pot so that's enough for today.

Have a good one.

Today I made a mess....2 wins , 1 lose , and a lot BEs with slippage :-(

I've had the last few days off the TST combine due to reaching just shy of the stage 2 max weekly loss rule - been useful to look where i'm going wrong and essentially i'm too fearful - from next week i'll be focused on timing entries more in the value area of pullbacks, and if today's practice is anything to go by it might just help get back on track. Have a great holiday w/e all!

late in the day, low liquidity trade for plus 6T. earlier this morning was 2 ins 2 losses and 2 break evens. thought I would mark up the last trade, missed a good 2B while drawing on it. liquidity still somewhat of an issue, also during early session, even if overall vol is there. makes for erratic trades
and more slippage. still messing around with trailing stops, eliminated the negative ones today, raised the early trailers up a bit to plus 6/plus 3
and plus 9/plus 6.
good luck

Green week for me on ES. In fact, market was very much like 'pre-virus scare'. Quite normal conditions for ES.
Happy Memorial Day weekend guys.

Just one trade, then I realised candles open with big gaps, so quited

Careful to check for holidays before trading

thanks for the reminder, concentrating on the nq can give me tunnel vision on available mkts to trade. began watching the es this morning, took one early
trade, should have let it run. (had to make an unplanned pit stop). anyways, seems much smoother so far, still early low vol etc.
good luck

Got a quick little pullback, now off to beach club...

net 111T (1 contract), so far - stumbling around with b/es, a loss and then a redeeming swing with the momentum to let run.

don't forget sunscreen J. still messing around with the es. 4 more wins, 3plus 1s and a plus 2T. trailing stops will be the next area to work on. narrowed the
overall to plus 12T/minus9T bracket orders. range has been above 3000 most of the morning with few spikes.
good luck

This bullish market is really something . . .

4ticks ES is obviously 10ticks NQ, but ES feels a lot less 'jittery'. Lol

Slim pickings for me. Missed a retest by a tick at the first green arrow, if it would have filled I would have likely stayed in. Took the next pullback which has at least put me in the green. Bored now.

..work has got in the way for me today. Will see how things look towards the last hour.

out of town yesterday, no trades for me. had some time to watch pre-ny open, missed a couple of entries, took a late long, way too foolish to
enter this one. stopped for minus9T. this close an entry to ny open things get NQ like. have another hour or so before I gotta run again.
still liking the es better than the nq.
good luck

68T (1 contract) so far - likely to leave it there for today.

Messed up today, but covered my trades. The first trade was a pullback , but I bailed too early. The green one was dodgy, but the short. Well I deserve a slap in the face, I saw it and because pa was slow I thought 'there's no way thats gonna break'. Visions of trying to recover all afternoon prevented me from taking it. But hey...
