ES Journal - 2013

  1. i get lost in all that stuff.. i agree with you.. but i'd rather trade the price action in front of me.. i'm sure there will be a day of reckoning maybe sooner maybe later.. but i don't wanna be illiquid when we do get their.. nor do i wanna get lost in some narrative. just sitting tight until that is realized is a job in itself.... i've got a better idea.. dont' watch the media at all.. after trading hours the last thing i wanna hear is some crazy spin on reality thats been sensationalized to feed to the pigs of America dying of obesity and boredom haha..

    i'm looking for a bit of bounce in vol and a little retreat .. not to buy but just as a consequence of such a large move up.. sort of like a frequency bouncing back as nothing happens in a vacuum.. todays action means less of anything then it does of something.. the jump up is to me more of a confirmation of a longer term uptrend support.. and yes thats the 62 dollars i lost today trading es in the upper right corner..

  3. agree 110% about price, that is what i trade. as sick as this may sound i like the background sound of CNBC cause trading is boring, but you have to keep it in perspective and trade the price. btw, imo there are only a few sound minds on that station, the rest can be kicked to the curb especially their "special" guests, lol.
