  2. I can sense 7k ES talk very soon lol (and when that starts being talked about, it WILL get there! always seems to work that way haha)
    gonna keep checking my twitter feed!

    pretty flat day for me. small green on the futures account

    overnight es long on the spreadbet account worked out well (took some drawdown though) and even the NQ one is in profit now. Just gonna leave that one

    off work tomorrow so will be able to watch the whole session. Better not be super boring day like it was the last time i had a day off

  3. Small day here, too, and a lot of work for nothing. Nailed down RTH fairly well, but had an $850 drawdown to climb out of from going long too early. First on the Globex Open and later in the Europe session.

    I need professional help to stop trading the Asia session. Only problem is I've had a few great trades starting then, but I keep forgetting the 8 out of 10 times I trade that session poorly.

    Trend on daily and weekly is up. It's more likely for me to trade from the long side.

  8. Nicely done!

    I have to admit I had my doubts when you took that trade as a day trade. I was looking for a move like that myself, but had given up on it by the time I turned off my computer. Looks like 'they' saved it for the last 10 minutes.

    MOC imbalance?

  9. Help has arrived. This is a great feature, actually. TopstepX really has some cool features for undisciplined gamblers like myself.

  10. Doing some work looking at historical analogues it's actually quite possible this move higher will continue today. I would certainly not be looking to fade it without a good reason or some selling.

    I think as a minimum we will get a squirt above yesterday's high in today's RTH session.
