    stopped out at 1122.25

    Stupid trade against the long-term trend. This market is so bearish right now I don't know if it makes sense to trade long at all. :mad:

  4. forget it whatayya doin? it's going straight down the toilet, never stand in front of a freight train with the eminis... Lots of traders probably got caught trying to catch a reversal here and they are getting killed and have to exit.

    stopped at 1123 for .75 loss

    i'm paper trading off the SPY b/c my feed from IB doesn't start till tomorrow when i'll start on the ES. Very strong support at 1120. Check out the lows for the past week.

    ** savage,

    nice chart, what software?
    anyway did you seriously think about placing a trade there? I hate to trade this time of day, you can see that you could have been chopped up several times in this last hour broadening formation that had a 4 point range. I think the 1st hour is better because the moves are faster, you are right or wrong immediately. As for a one point daily objective , it's not that easy even ONE point. The difference with the SPY is the leverage, each little wiggle can really be painful to watch when you have a position in ES, so you enter the 5'trend on a nice pullback and two minutes later youre down 1.5 point oops! what do you do you? do you just wait? I think that once you know to enter before the obvious has been seen by everybody, you can almost always get out of a bad trade even or up a few tick if you just wait but it can be nervewracking depending on your size I guess. But you can get there only with experience **

    Sorry, I didn't answer your question earlier. The chart is from FutureSource. (www.futuresource.com) I think the new CME package offers their charts with the Globex quotes.
