ES Journal - 2023/2024

I'm not here to fix the economy

 

shot 40 7pt stop

 

ES is stuck, meanwhile GOLD seems to making move

 

go long oil for your rolex instead of swatch. that's economy for you.

 

long 42

 

took the loss

 

I found that the greatest luxury is NOT having a watch

Funny you said that. Actually I went long oil right after inventories (a scratch). Didn't see it falling 2 handles to be honest, I thought it was going to zig-zag for a while.

(I thought you said oil was going to tank because...)

 

short again 35 10pt stop

 

Today is one of those days that *in hindsight* you look at a 1-min or 5-min chart and - if you were away that day - you would say: oh, I would have made so much money, going long here and shorting there.

But but but... while I had good entries and almost everything moved in my favor immediately, every single trade today ended up reversing. So basically I'm BE for the day

Edit: I think the (unusual) volatility of the last couple of weeks has spoilt some of us that now want 40-50-point moves

 

good luck, keep the position and you will wear a rolex by the expiration.
