  1. I think it we will break bellow 116 we will see gap fill on daily very quickly. This triangle needs to solve - and that gap is big magnet.

    Edit : Do you feel tension?

    Do you have a mental or hard stop in mind in case the trade does not go your way?

    Thanks,

  3. Even when you trade alongside an established trend, proper ENTRY is still a vital key to successful and effective trading.

  4. I am not trading today. As far as I see situation today, we are bouncing between 100 and 200 SMA on SPY. I do not want to be on incorrect side if one of these will break, and I want "support the winnig side". If we will turn down now it will look like double top and it can be very violent.

  5. My 'stop' is a large percentage of my account.

    I am always quite UNDERleveraged, and even when I have been on the wrong side of a VERY RARE strong sustained down move, I have been able to 'trade my way out of it'.

    In the meantime, I go through very long periods of taking +3to 5 points everyday on long trades and thus am able to withstand an even bigger move against me as my account grows.

    This is how I trade the ES.

    I dont trade like this with other instruments, but I have personal beliefs about the upside bias of the ES which governs my decisions.

    I imagine Ammo trades in a similar 'style'..?... (although on the short side! (rather him than me!))
