On the short trend beginning at approx. 11:30 we had several occurences of volatility expansion, widening the channel, until we reach 12:25. Presumably, at some point during the 12:25 5 min bar (low of the day) there were sufficent factors to decide to exit the short or reverse. We clearly have a closing price reversal so maybe the worst case would be exit/reverse at 1419, the break of the 12:25 bar.
you ask for respect - that' sweet. the environment in this thread is similar to a sect. any diverting opinion or even the slightest uttering of doubt gets attacked furiously. no criticism allowed - ever. the the american way at the moment? call me whatever you like - no problem. i have the same right to post here like anyone else. plenty of money in the middle - yeah right - especially in the ES and its low volatility environement, right? one good move per day on avg. - the rest of the day i suppose most of what you get is exits near your entry - if you don't manage to get in and out at the tops/bottoms. if you use only the chart and the lines - how do you decide at all when/where to enter/exit? i wonder why you don't attach the executions list to every chart. but anyway - just for fun: i took some of your latest charts and made some marks on them where i think i miss some things (trend lines or "ftt's"). feel free to comment. if not - fine. if you are able to trade like that - good for you - congrats. with so many lines, ma's, etc. - i can hardly see the chart itself at all.
