Wow imagine that EU is back at 3440... crazy. I like these kinds of days as much as a straight trend day. Since LO on EU alone we have had 4 very clear and distint legs... Lots of pips to be made on this one pair alone.

Why 1131.75 Jason? I don't have any fibs or triggers at that level.
8 points is a great ES trade on any day... also I have a trigger zone still on my chart from 1hr after LO and also my highest volume bar of the day has it's close at 1131.50 (which is the high of my trigger zone noted above....)

Seems like a good area to get the hell out and call it a day (which has been hit...)

Remember Steve I am using Tadawul's volume feed so it most likely varies some from your fancy TG - Esignal feed

Good point - I forgot different feed slightly different triggers

I have closed as well, at 1132.75. Although I want to look more into trailing stops.

This is my first day trading ES but boy I love it - triggers are fantastic!

Just to add to my post above, a chart attached - the red lines are triggers from today, green and pink from last week. The price bounced off the trigger from last week (and on decently increased vol) which is interesting - enough to scare me out

Good first day Steve... ES doesn't always move this nicely and can get choppy as with any trading instrument... That's why I personally watch and trade EU, ES, Oil and Gold (sometimes) so when one is moving like crap I can usually find a set-up I like somewhere.

Yes triggers are great and that's why I am always working to tweak and perfect my personal trigger trading methods...

Good post... and you show something that anyone new to triggers should take note of. UHV triggers from yesterday, today, last week can and will be re-tested again and again... look at that bounce Steve noted... prefectly off a trigger from last week.

When I get 15m or even 1hr super ultra high volume those levels get marked and left on my chart indefinately because if we move up say 500 pips and then come back down to a UHV trigger expect some kind of reaction nearly every time... may be a full bounce or just a sideways move but there will almost always be something.

UHV = SM activity... They know how retail traders work and think and that's why they can sucker them in so easily and run their stops... they know where retail traders are buying because they entice them to do so... then they know how far to SO to wipe out their stops causing panicked selling into which they buy driving the market up. SM leaves their marks on the charts and shows us where they are buying and selling and when they have removed interest. They know how we work and through VSA we can know how they work as well.

Some good volume coming in on Oil and ES on these last 5 min bars... must be the afternoon fix that Tom is always talking about... Time seems about right.

Last one of the day for fast 15 pips...

2bar reversal with trigger point.

The first candle is highest volume bar from this morning, this are my trigger points and watch for potential setups.

We have a 2 bar reversal,
2nd bar had a lower low and closed above previous high with less volume than the 1st bar.

Smart to get in and out this time of day... plus with that UT just to the left not many bars away... Plus we found some sellers on that push up bar on a spike in volume.

I went short on Oil at 80.95 after that surge up on incraesed volume... seemed like a fishy mark-up / trap. Moved to BE.

I normally would stop trading at 17:30 GMT, but saw this setup and couldnt resist for a fast move to previous swing !!

I'm looking for a ND into the nice new trigger top/close at 1141 before shorting again

Closed out at 80.35 as we pushed back up through my original upper trigger zone 80.20-80.40...

Now I am done for the day

Bit late but a nice setup imho..

We had a break with nice volume of the wedge, was looking for a ND but we had a UT with high volume into the trendline, im not trading it due to the time it is but its a nice one.

I never trust UT's unless they are up at a daily high after previous SOW like SC or supply coming in... They need to be confirmed and in this case it was but trade entry was never achieved back on low being taken out.
