Price always comes to me and my scale... I never chase an order... like catching a pop up.. let the ball come to you and let inertia do the work...
After the fact but wanted to share. Price gaps with a professional gap, showing that trend continuation is very likely. Makes a high and retraces exactly to the RTH HWB. And on it goes, targets above. Chart is ES M5
I'm with you - I had limit buys in at 85.50 on that pullback but bots front ran the HWB and when it was clear it wasn't going to come back (it did a double try) I went in at the market.
I hear you there. The problem for me have been that price have moved so fast through my triggers with momentum that I wasn't able to get filled on my limit - thus I ended chasing and got poor fills. Working a buy/sell stop order in the market have helped this problem. As markets get back to normal - I will probably go back to mostly limits.
That’s certainly one way to get around it.. I’ve used buy stops in the past .. my scale gets me in 90% of the time , which offsets that.. eliminates the need to be perfect.
I'll take a day like today any day I can get it. A lifetime of days like today would be fine with me.
