    Not the US PMIs in this case, but the Euro PMIs on Tuesday morning before you wake up. They can be total bangers and mash. As an overnight holder you have to be cognizant of that risk.

    Thank you, that will make me feel much better, since I am long the June MES at 4203. You can ask me how I can possibly be in that position, but as an experienced swing trader you would know. You are not at that level of my incompetence yet, so we'll save it for later. :)

    Eliminate noise from your charts to display clear trend inception/continuation/reversal inflection points, crystal clear signals, asymmetric R:Rw setups, intraday routine 2-10x ROC, occasional 10-15x and rare 15-20x. No getting spooked/shaken out from trend runs, instant feedback loop positive reinforcement PnL response w/ 10-50 delta 0-1DTE options. Scaling/pyramiding position size, money/trade lifecycle/risk mgmt, multi-aggregation period (non-time based) analysis for trend alignment, relatively stress-free enjoyable trading for 25-50 bps avg daily expectancy ROE with fractional capital utility for max efficiency.

    So this will be my plan of action for the near future. I will buy when the price trades ABOVE the midzone and sell BELOW the midzone. For instance, ES is trading at 4075, so I will hold my long until it gets up to the next midzone at 4190 and then reverse to short.

    Where will the stop be? Stops will basically be just below the zone if long or above the zone if short. Hence I will close out the current trade and flip short once it crosses below the current zone at 4050.

    How do you deal with zone zig zag action? Do you just keep reversing?

    As long as price stays in the zone, namely just chopping up and down, I plan to stay put and do nothing. It's only a problem when it breaks out of the zone and stops me out, and then reverses hard and breaks out to the other side, where I would be stopped out again. Unfortunately, they do happen but not very often from what I can see on the chart.
