Deep Analysis

Expiration Day Behavior: Mean reverting to settlement price (3098)
Down Trending Behavior: SGI IMP 1 SD High Level at 3045 hit but price could not get above it
SGI IMP 1 SD Low Level at 3105 hit and breached to the downside.
3105 level becomes overhead resistance
Afternoon up volume pushes price to re-test 3105 twice but not enough SPX puts got closed to
facilitate buying of ES futures.
The fact that price couldn't get above 3105 was warning, When price couldn't hold 3098, that
was the signal to get out of long positions.

Direction Model: Slight continuation of overnight trend. Not much Momentum.

Daily Review

Market Condition: Weak NYSE Internals, uptrend lacked follow through
Action: Went long MES near daily gamma level SP IMP 1 SD Low of 3118.00
Comments: 3118.00 was my level to work with for longs. Overnight Price has reacted strongly to this level.

Timing Model: Daily Bias is Short till Friday, 3200 is a possible shorting level for Weds and Thurs
Intraday Bias is Long but limited until MES gets above and holds 3200.

Direction Model: Uptrend continuing with very low momentum. Downside Range expansion has happened on very low volume
with no follow through.

Pullback Model: 2 long pullback entries at 3132.25, and one short pullback entry at 3128.50, stop is 8 ticks.
Entries should only be taken in sync with timing and direction models. I did not take these trades
The upside target was 3144.00


Trade Size: 1-2 MES, Sim.

MAX DD EOD= 0.82
Profit/MAX DD = 153.54
Average MFE/MAE = 2.34

I like your approach. I trade something similar. Do you wait for a particular set-up candle to enter or trade off of order flow?

Daily Review

Market broke out of a consolidation range that was between 3020 and 3055

It didn't hold 3075, so the downtrend was still in play

3053- 3055 was the critical range for a break lower

once 3053 was broken it was safe to put a stop at 3055

The entire consolidation structure (3020-3055) once broken from the top caused price
to retrace all the way through it to 3020.

Once price broke through 3020 a new leg of the downtrend started.
