can dax find any support? or will strong ES/US provide it?

long ES on tick div & and ok levels inc pre PA. Europe def keeping it down.

targets up to hod, look to scalp off vwap ath/rth)

took 1.25 pt loss earlier getting in bit too early and then folding, but happy so far with this entry level despite cld have got better entry. Indecisive, unsure, impatient.



Note: this is A_down so need to keep aware of this.

well its my best day in ES to date out @ avg 07s and improved my posn with cpl of scalps.



(less commissions btw)

Either call it a day? or one more trade but only a 1 lot risking 1.25pts? not sure, am busy with other stuff and dont want to push it.

I need to amend my rules - as max size is 3 lots, but i had 4 on at one time today to scalp that extra 2 (to properly improve basis w/o risking much & still having some left to run) - with max 3 tick stop. Or should i only be scalping taking them off...tricky.

The vwap re add looks too obvious, hoping for a push down into PA to get long.

perhaps obvious trades sometimes the best. am looking at buying ~ sd-1 2203 fwiw but think its done for the day.

Heres PnF RTH - the dips look clear on here.....





Each arrow is either support that maintains the level or a retest into prev PA/resistance.

Bit of spoofing going on there i think.......pulling bids on way down, stacking large offers so retail would hit the disappearing bids, then pulling offers and lifting whatevers there up through 4 ticks.

Lock them up!

Then again my pc is quite slow so it could just be normal activity.

RVol & tick says it all though.

I am definitely done for the day.
