my favorite is 6E not ES because I like it better since I have 24 hr trading opportunity. Day trading or scalping does not mean that I have to get in and out all the time. but trading setup presents 1-2 times on daily basis for intra-day swing and can hold a few hours based on my statistical study.

This is how i will enter long by identifying 3 possible entries. although it might look like Elliot wave, this is not Elliot wave by the way.

prediction is not the basis of trading but I still anticipate this price movement scenario.
