I waited for a high probability setup, put on 10 contracts, took a point and ran, all in 6 minutes. Much easier than all that scalping. Here it is.
<b>ES 54 contracts, one round turn, +3pts = +$8,100</b> Went long at 1385.50 blended average, traded +4.0pts at R2 value, trailed out on a stop at 1388.50 just before they pushed 'em higher from there. It all happened inside the first half-hour of trading. After that, sideways drift for six hours hence. I was out-of-office from noon forward, which spared me the tedium of a sideways tape. I personally trade purely off 15min charts, and only take four looks per hour at the market. Today would have been nothing much to sit thru past the initial push. * For those who have asked, I am tracking a closed fund here for educational = demonstrative sake. It is not open to general public now or in the future. Thank you to all of the quality people here who PM'd or emailed me today. Make no mistake... there are a lot of high character persons in this site, and that's why I'm happy to be present here :>) Best Trading Wishes
