  1. yeah, thought that looked like a bear flag on the 3/5m with the 15 bearish.

  2. I'm not convinced it's anything-ish. Been straight sideways since 8am.

  5. True. But if I'm scalping off a 3m chart then I'm reading the 15m bar to bar. In my world it looked bearish. :)

  7. Yeah, I think I remarked earlier that this looked like a scalper's market. I'm a little out of practice, but I must just dust off my scalping hat and try to grab a few points here and there until the ES decides where it really wants to go.

    My price channel on the daily chart shows potential for only 5 points down from here (today) but up to 85 points up. If I was comfortable with >5-point stop (which I'm not), I'd probably go long on the next pullback to 1390 just based on probabilities. But since 2 points is about my maximum stop (and I prefer 3 to 6 ticks), it just wouldn't be prudent! :)
