ES Journal - 2014

I agree that ES is very well-behaved compared to CL, but I'm a bit of an ADD scalper and CL serves that personality well

I usually only trade ES in the last hour, I found out years ago it's difficult for me to focus on both.

 

long CL 93.05 = stopped / -10
long CL 93.05 = closed 93.45 / + 40 ahead of news
long CL 93.50 = stopped .40 / -10 into news
long CL 93.85 = closed 94.36 / +51 around the 10:50am entry mark
some other 0-cent scratches as well

meanwhile, ES and TF remain 100% sideways dead again... more sessions than not so far in 2014. Cannot highly profit from symbols that consistently string sideways. The lifeblood of short-term trading is volatility, and so far stock markets have none of that yet.

 

Gotta love the 1-2-3

 

185-86 spy is top of range and 180 is lower

For the next month

 

because it has just dropped and came back 30 points??? hello????

 

here's Macks price action review chart for today, find the video on youtube, pretty standard trend day. Yes ONLY 60 ES pts the past 3 days, axis time is CST

 

Thats an anomaly, not the norm. Volatility is dead, has been dead for a while now...

 

ES -3.75
YM -46
NQ +3.50

GOOG +5.90
AAPL -3.26
NFLX +4.75

A mixed bag??? How do you trade this

 

long ES 1839.50 stop 1837.50 target 1841
