referring to a 5 min? we got a couple of those already -
REMEMBER zoom to lower time frames. I had on on the cash on a
2 min chart this morning . Then on some time charts ES a 600 and
377 tick chart I had one at 11:09 EST. Use your multiple time
frames. I also have one in here I'm monitoring
the morning pullbacks on trend days are too shallow to see on 5
min, I'd use 1 min probably
then mid day on the 1hr consolidation the 5 min and 3 min will
be fine . Otherwise my point about the morning runup, pullbacks are
too shallow. Typically on Trend days I'll just go long a
bunch of ES and UPRO in the morning shortly after the open because
the dips are so shallow

Thanks Matt for the educational information.
So to decide if it's a trend day, we need to see a strong gap up
(possibly above resistance) with no attempt to fill it in the first
15~20 mins, then we can add ES/UPRO? Is there anything missing in
my current criteria?
read over the educational newsletter and previous posts: Typical
strong gap up that does not attempt to fill the gap, generally you
can tell within 10 - 20 min. I typically just go long as trend days
push strongly higher despite the large gap. I then try to add
to that position on shallow dips the first 3hrs. UPRO can be used,
and I typically just trade ES or MES these days. Then you get a
standard 1 hr consolidation mid day that allows on a 5 min SPX cash
for price to recycle back to or close to the 50 SMA, the VWAP, and
a fast 10 length Stochastic to get oversold, while a 60 length
stochastic remains over 80%. also MACD tends to recycle back near
the zero level. Then typically you get another pop to a new mid
intra day high in the afternoon. Price will either run until the
close or you might get a pullback the last hr from some
divergence

I am monitoring 5 min SPX as I don’t trade futures. I’ll drop down to 3 min.

Thank you. I've read those educational newsletter but these posts gave me a better idea on how to trade that.

How much heat are you willing to take on those trades near the open?
