ES Journal - 2019/2020

CL jumped 50 cents in 5 minutes to $25.60 , then promptly retraced 50% of the move.

 

I was thinking maybe support at yesterday's RTH high which would allow for an opex SPY 280 pin.

 

I saw it, but I'm not getting the confirmation. There's still some air pocket below that's got me trigger shy on the long trades

 

Trading back inside those highs from earlier in the week is good reason to be hesitant.

 

short 2831.25 target 2800 stop is 44 for now

 

I concur. I also think that would negate any hopes of a higher high in the offing today

 

yes sir!

 

Weird market - doesn't want to risk even a normal pullback it seems. I used to press my shorts like you wouldn't believe - now I trade very small when short.

 

...he probably bot out in Oct-Dec contracts (for the long haul)...if you look at the board, spreads flatten out there..

 

With you on that... PA feels very peculiar today!
