Nice move up in the futures this evening, basically ES formed a
perfect doji candlestick at the close, price has bounced nicely and
is near the 5 EMA. The 5 EMA is 1896.75, which is probably a first
good target. The 9 EMA is at 1910.5
thank you for a trade. Where would you have entered a trade on a
doji for a good risk/reward? One point above the doji? And your
stop would have gone below that doji?
junkie / Roy - yes the system would go long if the market sold
down and made new lows, but it has to move by a certain % lower in
order to take another position.
That said - the system is actually looking to close out possible
today as one of the indicators for the bear market long are above
50%.
The bear market long trade on SPY (that I discussed on Monday
and earlier) would be closing out today, same for the ES daily
system (will send email to folks for that specifically though)
Thank you, Matt: it's been a profitable trade! I took only one
ES contract, and should have taken two and sold one on a bounce to
provide me with a cushion. This is obvious in the retrospect.
My concern was about where to put a stop in case the market had
gone lower. Stops are not part of your system, but I could not
convince myself that I could let the trade go against me because it
was counter-trend and in the bear (corrective) market. I would have
re-entered lower, of course, if stopped out.

actually SPY did not close, the slight pullback the last few min allowed SPY to stay long, ES though still looking to exit
