Too much confluence to trade the ES right now. Best served to wait and see it move up or down from here.
Hard to believe mkt will go into the weekend at all time highs. Jackson Hole was complete dud and Russia moving convoys into Ukraine. But, never say never as we are no longer trading in a free mkt.
Lost 5 ticks on CL short and made it back on ES long. CL short would have worked out if I got in at a better price with a little higher stop. The problem with CL is you need balls of steel when trying to scalp since it does not play fair like spiking a little higher before falling. ES seems more contained today probably due to the massive vol of contracts.
Beautiful charting ammo. Much appreciated. Keep an eye on VXST over the next few weeks and it's relation to VIX and VXV to help figure out what the next move is going to be. VXST = 9 day S&P vol VIX = 30 day S&P vol VXV = 93 day S&P vol
