ES Journal - 2023/2024

I ain't gonna post my trade but just took a long position.

 

I’m long, too. ES/NQ. Hoping for the big one tomorrow. Stopped out for a small loss on the initial long entry off the Open.

That drop may easily have been some hedging.

Hoping I’m not waking up to a gap down through my stops on bad news from the Middle East…

 

out BE

 

Time for a little pullback here, but if we can get over this hump, I see 5385 in the horizon.

 

intermediate frame regression is at 5525.

 

Swinging for 5410 or more tomorrow. Probably not until RTH, though.

 

I'll be on the other side of that trade. Selling all the way up to 5432 (hopefully we get there).

 

If you hope it goes to 5432 - why aren’t you long?

 

1) My entries are absolute dog shit, and I've had a short bias for the past couple of weeks. I use micros to scale into a positions up/down to meaningful resistance/support (last month's low was 5432-- my stops are at 5450).

2) The VIX having its third biggest spike in 15 years has me scared shitless. I feel like something big has changed in the short/medium term.

 

I would not be long overnight. We'll see 5280 this week. On the ES.
