We can say whatever we want amongst ourselves, but it's kinda pointless. I mean, NOBODY knows for sure (legally) what the CPI will be until it comes out. Even then, it ain't the number but how the market reacts to it. It could come in way below the analyst estimate but the market could ignore the good news and tank, and vice versa. Nobody knows. Until then, it's all speculation. As such, let's continue our talk tomorrow after the CPI.
Dude, let me ask you a question. I NEVER see you make any posts during the trading session, but always afterwards with these silly Youtube vids. Do you even trade?
What do you think I am doing during the RTH session? No time to post all the trading bits I do during the RTH, because I am trying to trade, to be a better person, and better citizen of the world. Or something. You want it, you got it... It has been sim since my terrible losses on the swings of last year, so I am in practice mode again, feeling out the new motion in the ocean. Here's a sample. I do shit like this. Discretionary. Does this answer your question to your satisfaction?
If I am reading this correctly, you picked up about 50 MES pts across several trades. Great, however it seems that had you just bought on the first MES trade and held it and sold where you exited the last MES trade, you would have netted about 71 pts.
IMO, ES down to 3955 level would be buy zone on any initial sell-off. If we somehow roll down to 3900, I would back up the truck. Otherwise, just holding my current long positions from last week.
