ES Journal - 2025/2026

waiting for this very hot spell i'm on to end

Taking some 'pair trades' today. Just feels safer lol
(currently long ES and short ym)

 

closed 1 of the ym's
still holding 1 of each

 

Last week lows is about 5995-6000 in March futures?

So far one loss on a failed breakout in ES.

NQ looks the strongest to play the long side, but some tech stocks are not looking good

 

going flat everything here
nice start

 

feel like 6145ish next, but not always easy to chase for me

 

Had to give it a go

 

Funny how the world was ending on Monday and now we're back at all time highs (SPX 11 points shy).

 

It's a V, it's unstoppable, it's Superman!

 

It sure is something, isn't it.

It's not 'risk free' or necessarily easy to trade, though. A trader still needs timing and accuracy like always. Only Dumbo will claim anything else.

 

Exactly.

I could say "I knew" it was going to break higher - I did, I just did!

And if I had no stop, I'd be in the green now about 14 ES points - after enduring a 10 points drawdown (that could have turned into a 100 points drawdown).

But here I am, trading an unstoppable market - in the red.

(It's ok, I'm up for the week and the month, and I'm fully aware if it was as easy as it looks, everybody would be a millionaire)

Edit: it seems to me that the market is operating under the assumption that tomorrow's tariffs on Mexico and Canada are a bluff and that there's going to be some Deus ex-machina last minute agreement... We'll see.
