would have been good to add long to there, but with such a strong opening range unlikely to pull back to those levels ofc after testing / breaking HOD...its a different scenario
I appreciate all of the advice and input posted on this all confirming that I have been too choked up on the bat. If I cannot take a trade and lose a couple of C notes on one contract without letting it get to me I shouldn't be playing this game. That being said it helps if you are playing with the house's money. Around 8:00 last Monday evening I had place two advanced orders to short ES just before Trump's guy made a comment on the China deal just through blind luck on my part. They were violently filled and followed down, flipped long a rode a ways up making about 5K in 40 minutes. Where else can you have such fun?
Nice trade.....but playing the news ? Whew, that could be wicked...both ways. Heck, if you want, you could play it every day at 3:50 PM with the MOC report.
No sir. I had no idea why it happened. It was just blind luck. I agree with you on watching certain times. That is why I mostly pay attention to ES. There is a rhythm to it. For example if you buy right at the close it will go up more often than not.
