ES Shorts - open Stoch Short 60, 80% comments

    One of you asked this morning what the exit conditions are for this trade. I can't tell you that at the moment, it's complicated. What I do know is that the system has multiple exits depending on if price was above the ATR when entered or below it. When price is below the ATR, the system gives more room for the trade because the market is in a weaker state. This trade was entered when price was above the ATR, thus it won't be looking to hold the trade as long and could exit at any time, still that won't be today.

    Also I know that some folks didn't take the trade last week being late on Friday, many are checked out, holidays whatever, not seeing the email, whatever it's understandable. Also for the folks who trade the futures, ES opened yesterday at 6 pm and were down 3 - 5 points only for many hrs. The website was updated on Friday, one could have entered the short on Sunday if was missed on Friday.  Or even the ETF's, they start trading at 4 am, SPY wasn't down much early pre market

    For those who entered the trade, it's not exiting today. That said, the SPX is down 81 points, that's a heck of a trade, one option would be to close 1/2 of your position and exit the other 1/2 when the system officially exits - you lock in some nice gains (maybe helps with emotion) etc - that's more my style. Or...maybe you want to just die hard follow the systems entries and exits. Whatever works for your risk tolerance, emotional state,  and preferences

    Great trade Matt! 

    I took the trade on Friday before the close and split the difference risk wise by exiting 35% of my position. I'm using SPXS as my instrument the 3xetf. 

    I've balanced this by going long a 1st entry off the 3,987 area via SPXL 3xetf. I know everyone uses the signals different ways. There are gaps on both sides now so no reason to get super aggressive here on either side for me here for my tolerance trading wise. 

    All the best and thanks.

    Congrats man! 

    I figured the fib overshoot to the 3,985 area level and held up was a good shot. Especially on the daily had to try, thanks
