I spent the day deer hunting in Westfield, Pennsylvania with friends... had a great time in the outdoors, but truck came home empty. One look at the ES / ER charts shows screaming sell signals immediately off the open, no questions asked. Just sell both symbols and let 'em ride... while I was next state away from the screens. Where the hell was this day in the market while we endured 6pt ES sessions the past two weeks? I was home for all of those miserable events. Probable downtrend continuation in the morning, afternoon is a wildcard. Back to work on Tuesday, one day late :<[
ES trades: +4 points short x 25 contracts ahead of 8:30am econ news -2 points long x 25 contracts -2 points long x 25 contracts -1 point long x 50 contracts Net Result: -1pt / -$2,500 * ER trades: +3pts short off the open -1pt long net long 774.30 = stop 774.30 current ** Finished trading ES for today. Correct side of the market on all four trades, each went at least +1pt in favor from entry... cannot hold reasonable stops in the choppy slop. ER is comparatively easy to trade, will focus on that symbol alone for the balance of today.
does everyone else's system get sticky ARB and ISB quotes or is this the man's way of sticking it to us poor saps at swift? my fees are ridiculous as i just can't seem to wait to get out of any position i get myself into!!!
