    Treasuries are moving, currencies are moving, energy is moving, damn, individual stocks are moving all over the place...

    It's just the damn ES

    Edit: NQ looks like it wants to break to the upside

  2. Yes. It's a range bound mess.

    It's a Friday before a holiday and it's a good week to the upside already. My guess is we'll get that pop to the upside, but I'm far from certain. And if it makes a new low, I'm thinking it may not go anywhere far.

    If there was a day to take an early weekend it's today. :)

    Out BE+

    Edit: I should have bought lower :D

    PS: Normally I don't post trades anymore (I find it too distracting), but I feel bad when @theapprentice and you're the only ones here posting (Schizo seems to post less and less these days, he must be busy spending his money :D)

  6. Not too big a fan of posting individual trades myself.

    Nasty day. This is not easy to navigate from here.

  10. For the record - February has been a poor month for me so far. I got complacent after the prior payout from Topstep and once again took too much risk thinking I had a 'cushion'. Which I kind of did. It's still the wrong mindset, though.

    Have had a few good days, but on balance it's a net negative. On some of the red days I even had the right idea, but my timing was off and I got wicked out near a swing low.

    Red day today as well and I was even up substantially at one point. But I was married to the idea of 6150 and was too stubborn to recognize it wasn't happening when the signs were there.

    After that 11:20 5M candle it seemed obvious what kind of day this would be, so I should have called it a day then. I'm calling it a day now.

    Maybe this is the swing low and we do see 6150? Definitely possible, but I'm out of bullets for the day and will rather wait for some momentum come Tuesday. :)
