    This could go to 88/89 area but I am slightly on tilt for missing trade on ES performance test and didn't add on real account, so no room for runner or anything plus target is hit so I just got out for profit and will try to relax, wait for next setup.

    That was awesome chance to buy near / exact lows twice, so really poor execution by me but none the less profitable trades. Still need to do better, tough when you don't take full advantage of great setups.

    Hoping 84.75 provides resistance for a pullback here, to potentially get another long setup. As 88/89 is still ultimately where I am expecting, but not going to chase long here as I have bad habit of doing that.

    So, far seems fairly strong will just have to unfortunately miss it.

    2382.50 ish is where I am looking to potentially buy next, than we can gear up to try and hit 88 level after that. The short here isn't terrible either at 85 but just don't really have proper setup for it personally, even though I think we pullback prior to 88ish level

    Ok I shorted 84.50 ES despite not having proper setup for it. So, not good, still looking for 82.50 but I may have to exit this for a loss or get out early as I let emotion get me in somehow. Was doing really well today up until now. Should of at least took 85 if I was going to take it.

    This is not good at all, terrible trade that I even said I shouldn't take right before I did. May get to 88 first. I am going to add 1 short at 87.50-88 ish, if we end up going there prior to pulling back again. I'll be in max position size at that point (2 lots) and will look for pullback.

    Looking to exit short 83ish and than will look to buy long 82.50 ish, with target of 86, potentially 88 depending on how it moves back up. This is of course assuming we get pullback I am expecting prior to 88.
