ES Journal - 2025/2026

Thought you were loving this volatility.

Personally, this is too wild for me.

If I were to trade this, I'd probably scalp it with automated trading strategies targeting 3-5 points, i.e., hard limit exits 3-5 points from fill price with ATM strategies in Ninja. Trading breakouts and reversals.

Or size down to micros with wider stops.

 

Oh, I love it but today sucks.

 

would 1 buck movement is 1k entice you?

 

interesting if 70 break.

 

it will

the thing is that there is nowhere to bounce too, no one is buying

 

I'll just repeat what I said earlier a few times. Bear market rallies are brutal.

We may not be in a bear market yet, but that's only semantics as we're trading as one currently.

Even if today breaks down eventually, it can still rally 30-50 ES points before going lower. It will look easy in hindsight, but it's not. If it was, we'd all be zillionaires.

What you're really saying then is you love the volatility when you're on the right side of it.

 

Guess this is called political instability. A third world country problem before Trump. Zero trust.
Sorry this is a trading journal. Wish you all the best !

 

2725 would worth a try, otherwise not trying to catch a bottom under it

 

Down, yes.

 

already save you 2k from my entry, you can make 2k more, what say you
