I took that one.  Realized I had a double my usual lot size so I had got a good reason to cut my target in half.  ðŸ˜‚  #ScalperRationalizations

Fun Times for an ES trader

"Hell,  I don't know what the Bulls are looking for"                     

man it's hard to trust anything long knowing the fundamental disaster we have on our hands.    Sometimes, I wish I was totally ignorant of it and just looked at the TA.

Seeing that potential macd div also.   Thanks for sharing this.

Your comment gave me a little light bulb  moment.  

thanks for the comment… any extra clarity   always helps.   Mucho Appreciated.  

fwiw,  this is how I used to swing trade when I wasn't an ES scalper.    Look for Setups on Daily and 3day,  confirmation on the weekly, entries off the Daily (or 4hr).

Heikin Ashi  (Weekly, 3Day, Daily)   --   Still plenty of strength on weekly and 3day,  and like the GOATs (Matt and Steve) are saying the daily could be headed down to maybe only put in a HIGHER LOW.  But the 1st bear signal from daily HA bars, stochastics, and macd is more than confirmed after today..   

VIX 2day (marking lower highs)

What's this policy pivot?   I can't find an article?

Fundamentals are boring, except WHEN ALL OF THEM ARE BAD and worsening. I work (little remote IT part time job to help a buddy) in real estate education business (continuing ed, licensing, mortgage licensing, etc), and real estate is going to get crushed & how bad it will be hasn’t really kicked in yet, but it’s coming fast.  

Real estate agents are going to go from making more than they ever have (and it’s not even close) to making almost nothing.  The re market (commercial and residential) are already basically frozen;  these agents were selling homes / buildings above ask the first day they hit the market just a few months ago & now….. selling next to nothing.  

I don’t know if it’s 2008 bad but wouldn’t be surprised,  based on the things I’m hearing and seeing anecdotally it could be worse.

This is pretty scary stuff.   Like that UoM chart (attached) 

I’ve never not gotten it.  

But you can google how to whitelist specific email addresses etc etc.  I did that early on, maybe that’s the trick.  I have gmail and it’s filtered other services I’ve had until I’ve whitelisted them.  

Just a thought. 

If you took this one... great trade Kobie... I am scalp-mcscalperton again today.   Didn't have the conviction to hop on that bounce!!!   love your charts,.

     .... THANK YOU... the dose of clarity I was missing.   Trading alone is hard.  LOL

I don't like to be right for being skiddish cause it means I'm missing a bigger picture somewhere somehow,  but it is what it is.   (k, i'll quit talking to myself)

I don't see how they could back down.   Total speculation but doesn't it seem like it's even easier for FED to be and remain hawkish after a rally like Fridays?

No staying power for me today.   Mondays.  I got the least amount possible out of this one.   I don't like the enthusiasm in the market right now.     This is when I'd like to trade another ticker,  but I don't like to cheat on the ES.     

What a narrow range this thing has slipped,  not unexpected but always surprising anyway.  Big Green day up yFriday,  inside chop before big news week.   

I just feel like it will coil into the news but I don't know.    I can't get a feel for it today... got a little chopped around today, but surviving.         The 5min did look promising,  took a quick one,  lost conviction.   The scalping continues.   Going to stare at a cloud or something.    Bailed early on that one.    (don't worry I won't be in habit of play-by-playing my scalping.. LOL)    

RISK OFF is never a bad idea for how i do this.  

Yep,  can’t hide this one…  another excellent call.   You’d think that might get old,  but nahhh. 😊
