The market was mostly one way all day with no significant corrections to set up an entry until late in the trading day. Even then, the volatility filters had pushed the entry point for the short position above the high of the day at the time. That's a little unusual for this system but I was comfortable with it because it's not unusual for traders to go after stops at the high/low for the day. That is exactly what appears to have happened and the market got within .5pts of my stop before turning back down. It is my practice to exit all trades before 3pm, so I quickly had to pick a place to cover and go flat. This, the small profit of 1.25pt.

The market hit my sell price of 2928.25 several times but did not trade thru it. None of my orders were filled. Later, my buy was filled and stopped out.




-2.0 points for the day.

A quick recap of last week:

On Monday the market traded in a fairly orderly fashion to my buy level. But shortly after I entered a long position, we got a spike down that hit my stop. -2 Things quieted down for about 90 minutes and traded to another entry level. Again, BOOM, another spike down, hitting my stop for another 2pt loss.

-4 for the day.



On Tuesday, shortly after 1300, the market traded to my sell. I wasn't particularly fond of getting short at that point but I always say if you don't take the trades, you don't really have a system. It only took less than an hour to reach my target and I exited +9.5pt.



Wednesday there were so many potentially explosive market moving factors that I decided to stand aside. FED meeting, China canceling trade negotiations, Trump announcing that he was considering doubling sanctions on China, etc. etc.

Both Thursday and Friday: sustained moves without sufficient corrections to trigger trades.

+5.5pt for the week
