I should have stated this is smoothed out futures chart - price is not indicative to june future ES, its ~4pts higher hence the confusion.

I will make sure i post june price going forward. I am currently 'live testing' on this account while i get back into swing of things.

not done anything in ES last 2 days - been playing about in currencies using longer term 4hour method and will post more details about this later this week.

Reason have moved to HTF is am still busy with other projects and i cannot look at charts all intra day, unfortunately. The flip side to this is the noise on lead up to holidays will be gladly missed.

Have a good day.

Hello.

I am going to start posting again, after a long time off for other projects, personal & business stuff. Good to see this forum is still going strong, surviving the threats of discords & telegram rooms which do have benefits. I still like this format though - prefer it being like having friends over for dinner every now & again rather than having them stay indefinitely.

Still trading the ES, but will be in in the US afternoons as have work commitments.

It will be a lite intra day thread.

I am still using Sierra Charts, but have been testing on CQG basic and this seems to be going ok.....& is possibly due to my method simplifying: I have stripped down my entry logic to mainly PA, with a contextual view ie looking at Day/Week time frames also.

My reading of the market is pretty good intra & longer term, execution has been good most of the times, but has been poor enough to wipe out an account or 3.

This part2 of the thread is to try to correct that.

Laters,
Daxy

Will you look at the day and week charts to establish trend?

hi kazz

yes definitely. also for key support(demand)/resistance(supply) levels.

however though it may provide some bias, i still may fade a daily uptrend with a short - depends on previous day, possible consolidation, levels, & most importantly set up patterns in this day etc.

higher timeframe action may also influence my exits - i may look to run partial if going with a strong trend.

i am not holding overnights - too risky with the trade deal stuff going on.

daxy.

small scalp on 1 lot for 3.75pts - saw that price was looking tired with slow arc, when it faked lower it struggled to get back past 82s where it built resistance level.

target was small as its late in the day, if that play had happened earlier then i would be looking at the lows being tested.

aimed & exited for vwap & prior resistance for possible pivot to support.

looking for shorts 2950 and big support area at 2890.

it will be quite messy PA in this range looking across tot he left on lower timeframes - so am not too bothered about not playing til either of these levels come into play.
