$SPX - Chart Link - buying that dip was
almost too easy on that flag, you had the 14 and 60 stochastic
setup we've discussed below, yes 60 Stochastic under cut 80% by
just a slight amount, but that's fine, plus you had the 50 EMA
there and the flag pattern, trigger was taking out the high of that
doji candle where you see the dotted vertical line.
Remember on these trend type of days, you almost always, that
that pullback in the early afternoon for a long trade if you've
missed the first move up
one could do that for sure, or say give a little more room say
at 60% of the candle. Otherwise I may use one of my momentum
indicators and hold until it turns red, it's current green
SPX 5 min with pivots

$SPX - Chart Link - you can see where the MACD retested zero and the stochastics.
Been a distracting day for me with my father in law in hospital due to a fall yesterday, so I haven't been able to post. Plus Steve is sick today

With your ES system likely going flat today. Do you plan on holding this position with a stop at 50% of todays candle?
