Stopped at 47.25 for -1.5. No problem will remain on sidelines till evening session where hopefully we get some decent moves. Trying last one here - short again 46.50. Move is still valid so i am taking it. Tighter stop now though.
I would probably advise traders to take some gains here at 43.50 or scale out as it can easily bounce here. I am personally staying short - my system relies on the big trade and don't have to worry about making money for the day. Still holding.
I've pretty much taken same trades you did today on NQ. Just got stopped for b/e on my short also. Might take the rest of the day off.
Good trading then cire. I may take rest of day off too but i think evening session may provide some good market action.
Remind me never to jump on a buy program. Silly fool!! Out for -2 on that one. Added another long at 45.
Wow back from long dinner - missed another big short i see. Being Friday is statistically one of my worst days i think i am going to leave it here. I have decent gains for the day and i don't want to ruin my weekend by giving them all back. Also, closing my swing short here - i should hold till monday but profit is too big compared to my usual swing positions so its making me anxious holding it.
Here are the totals for today. 6x6 ES traded +10.25 ES points +$483.70 Been a very good month so far. Happy to stay away from the PCs this weekend, hopefully my wrist will heal up as well. Good weekend to all and good trading.
Here is an update of the performance since inception of this journal. 15th: +$287.50 16th: +$150.00 19th: +$825.00 20th: +225.00 21st: +$1100.00 22nd: - $75.00 25th: +$913.50 26th: +$827.00 27th: -$471.10 28th: +$437.40 29th: +$483.70 Total: +$4703.00 I am very pleased with the results thus far. Fantastic month and on my $50,000 day trade account means: 9.4% return this month. Did not break the rule of trading more than 1 contract which is what i am happiest it about. Lets hope March will be another strong month.
