"It is not how things are in the world that is mystical, but that it exists" - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logico-philosophicus
FV 1195.00. SPX 1,187.89. Edge is ~7. No swing edge, but slight daytrade edge. L ES 1185.50 Instinctively, I expect this position to suffer to 1179 ES, since 1182 SPX (and therefore 1179 ES) is such a strong attractor, but the system must be followed.
Out 1188 + 2.50 I think I am fortunate, but I have begun to think about why my instinct may be off. I still have emotional baggage from all my years of watching and trading ES. The system is far more sophisticated than even my instinct, and includes rules that I simply did not know at any time in my trading life until very recently. No wonder firms want people that have never traded before...
We knew suffering would come sometime, no? 25 years of experience counts for something. Still, good chance of getting out at least B/E on this trade.
