Not much of a day, but better than a losing day. I kept looking for a strong bounce of 2941, but we never got. I took two trades with minor news, but they both fizzled right after I added lots to some winning ticks. The second trade was a Spring on the 20 minute chart. I took small profit on both trades and traded very small.





Okay trading day, hard to trade and somewhat frustrating. I am up $48 for the day with low risk and draw.

Seems that there is some news that is finally moving the ES, but I have to go pick up my son from school and cannot watch the position.

Looks like we are going up into the close.

I promise I am not trying to brag, or worst sell something! But here is a follow up on my call on Gold:




I am surprised since I have never traded gold well.

Here is my longer term look at the ES ( MES). Looks like 2903 is in play again.
I am long now, small.

This trade was a VSA set up off the 20 minute chart. I added another lot later as we move up some. I did not expect anything out of this trade/today, but at the end we got some buying ( a gift) that got me out with an additional $21 in profits.

I am still bullish and expect 2903 to be broken Sunday. A break and re-test of that level is a very good buying set up, I think.





I had to delete my workspace earlier today and will need to re-do my channels and lines.
An ugly day, but I traded well by being patient and not making errors. Which has not been the norm in the recent past. I am up $82 for the day.
