OOoooh, they're running it up in after-hours... I wonder if they can pump it to 912-913.... I'd like to wake up to a nice up-gap that will crumble before long. Edit: Doh, seems I missed that very shortable 910 about half an hour ago. That will teach me to take a shower and eat while browsing the web while the ES trades. Even though I made nothing today (-66$, spent the afternoon catching up a 10pt loss because I was foolish enough to trade in the 8-9:30am time range), these are definitely exciting times. There are days I wish I was a robot, so I could trade around the clock...
I think one day you will realize that the best time to trade this beast is during the evening and early morning globex hours. Its a whole lot Les schizophrenic and much easier to manage your risk.
I know! I usually don't trade before 11am as my job keeps me busy, and even then I only take a few snipes on the YM because it's a tad safer imo. I usually start to take real positions after 2:15. But today, for some odd-ass reason I was long on the ES @ 904.75 around 8am. And for some odd-ass reason I didn't have my stop set....
No that's it. Sorry. I think we can agree on one thing and that its to much of a challenge for most people to have the discipline to trade a specific time frame especially when you have all that money dangling in front of them at all hours. That being said they will forget after a couple of hours.
