ES Journal - 2019/2020

I'm also curious if every loss is a prudent 2% of liquid net worth...

 

Wow, nice work ! History in the making for sure.
Note: is the range expressed as absolute points or percentage ?

 

You got here after he gave up trying to find the ceiling in the Great Bear Market of 2019

 

I, for one, would suggest it is never prudent to lose 2% of one's liquid net work unless your net worth is $200 and you bought yourself a happy meal.

 

Long 3243.75 Initial stop 3229.00 -15,00 pts
Long 3232.50 Initial stop 3218.00 -14,75 pts
Long 3228.00 Initial stop 3204.00 -24,25 pts
(Stop on trade above not confirmed I think, but assume was kept in place.)
Long 3187.75 Intial stop 3179.00 -9,00 pts
Long 3172.50 Initial stop 3158.00 -14,75 pts

Long 3128.00 Initial stop 3080.00 still open



Result on closed trades: -77,75 pts

 

We did make history today for sure:

Today's RTH range at 130.00 points is officially the largest RTH range in ES history.

These are absolute or nominal points. Simply the high/low difference.

In terms of points offered, 1230.25 (nearly 10 times the actual range), that makes this day the 6th largest since 2006.

So, absolutely not your normal market day.

In terms of simple daily change (-3,04 %) - today is not that special though.

 

Thought the bottom was in lmao
3100 -> 3150 -> 2850

 

Thanks for that Jean....so $-3,887.50 per contract or $-38,887 for a 10 lot.

 

Out of curiosity and to give a more complete picture I looked a bit further back: combined profit of B1S2's last two winning trades was 242 pts.

 

I'm now setting my buy/sell orders around a 3,068 S&P
