    yes, my oscillators also pointed this as overbought there, now comes the question how to optimallly manage this trade ... that's what I don't like about overnight positions ... in my daytrading I can always follow what happens before my eyes, during the night anything can happen ...

    Only day trades I take overnight are on the 60 minute charts and can set hard stops. I don't swing trade cause the risk is the same if I took long term, so if I get a signal has to be same direction as my long term direction, in which case opening moves have to be hedged. Only futures trading I do without much hedging is day trading and there have been times where I hedged that as well ie going short knowing massive support nearby but has been tested a few times before, so I have taken Debit spreads just in case in ES.

    it's clear to me ES is not going down yet, but I understand the concern from some people. Someone asked me about ES and I did a quick glance and I became negative too ... then I did a further study and told that guy to sell his spxu (short spx) at market on monday for a small loss. Het had bought over 200.000 USD of them ...
