Well folks, today was not too good, got stopped a couple of times, small gains on a couple of others. Inside day. Overall negative. Considation leads to expansion, maybe tomorrow will work better for me.
I thought the trading opportunities were there until about 12pm, then it got pretty nasty. I only took one trade after 12 and then sidelined myself for the rest of the day heh. ~Cx
Anyone trade anything else then the ES. Today the euro and crude oil had some good moves. Also, might want to take a look at bonds. Probably best to stay with markets that don't move together. That way when one market (like the ES today) is choppy perhaps another market will be a nicer trading environment.
Never have used tick charts so I can't really comment on them. But, nonetheless, i attached a 233 tick chart for today for you to compare.
Not counting AH plays, those are just bonus plays, I ended up the regular trading day in the red. Did well in the morning but the choppy action and indecision of the afternoon fooled me several times. This is the first time I end up in the red since I began the journal. It had to happen sooner or later, I was simply not compatible with today's action but I was waiting for such day to post it. Market today kicked my butt, tomorrow is another day. Hats off to those on the other sides of my trades, job well done Anek
A. I tried this as a double top short. Was it a trade you would have taken? It just did not work our unfortunately.
B, I tried many things in the afternoon that did not work. AHG and non AHG stuff. Just not my kind of day. Anek
Did that breakdown bar CLOSE below the swing low ? If the close was not below it, it was not valid. Anek
The fact that today was the first day that you ended up in the red since you started this journal is something incredible in and of itself. Nice run. Rock and roll price action! Btw, check out my questions I had for you today if you get a minute (yeah that's right...still picking your brain everyday ). Anyway, tomorrow is a new day . ~Cx
Not sure about all areas today, ES had some opportunities until about 12pm. Shortly glancing at others it seems like energy is still doing well each day. Oh, and materials today. If you were playing materials today you could have cashed in good (gold & gold stocks especially due to a technical breakout over 700). ~Cx
