  1. LOL.

    I don't actually owe anyone to be posting any trades here, so again, not sure what you're trying to accomplish.

    My long term win rate is sub 50 % on per trade basis (the amount of winning days is much higher), so it's no secret that I will take a lot of scratches or small losses. That's also why I don't generally like to post trades, because I'm very actively managing my entries trying to nail down an entry.

    Yes, I misread the market on Friday. I was very clear about that. Technically, it was a long, but I was leaning short because of Iran/Israel. That's not how my trading system works, so I was overriding it.

    It's a total freak show (and you're a freak, might I add). So I see you have a crystal ball worth stealing. :D

  3. Noah could have bought the swing low, too (maybe he did?), but maybe he prefers to focus on how I'm not showing my losses. LOL.

    Anyway, this game certainly isn't easy, so I hope I'm not giving off the impression that it is.

    Headed out for some coffee and sunshine. It's possible we have the range set here, but I'm still thinking there's enough juice for one final push left. Locking in some and hoping for the best.

    ES can do another deep PB before the final squirt or gush.

  5. Stopped ES for 10 points at 76.25. Re-entered long here at 79.50. Stop at 70.

    Not loving the wide stop, but headed out and it's unmonitored.

    Limit sell at 5410.

    Some one is kicking off sell programs. Notice the timing.

  8. I don't think we've seen the end of the move down, personally. I'll start getting bullish once we test the 200 day-- it has been over a year since we've done so.

  10. Stopped for 9.50 points loss at the coffee shop. See? Not all my trades are wins. :)

    Will see how the market looks when I’m back and maybe engage again…
