12/7 ES Trades
Not many trades taken in the morning as the market never presented a short entry. I suppose a short could have been taken pre-market and held through the open, but I typically do not look to hold positions into the open when trading overnight. The first entry was around 10AM CST for a long @ 1242 which held the channel all the way to 1252. Scales were made at 1245 and 1249 and the entire trade removed at 1250 with a break of the higher high pattern. A short entry occurred at 1:30PM @ 1250.50 and was removed in full at 1246.
12/8 ES Trades
Not an exciting day for trading the ES. One long entry taken for a 1.5 point loss.
12/9 ES Trades
Difficult day. Short taken early for a stop. Another short attempt for another stop. One final long made up for first two losses and put the ES trades slightly in the green for the day.
12/12 ES Trades
When a trend forms and runs and does not produce an entry it can lead to frustration and mistakes in trading. In this particular situation, I wanted to get short in the morning but the market never provided an entry. Oh well. Next time. One long taken for small gains in the afternoon was only ES trade for the day.
12/13 ES Trades
Nice day today. We were given a nice long in the morning. Another small long winner and then a great short entry in the afternoon. The last order was taken at the channel instead of the dots with a wider stop. I believe this is justified when the trend is strong enough. Rather than a 6 tick stop, I have it a 10 tick and was looking for more profits. The trade worked very well as the market continued to sell. Scales occured at +4, +8, and +20.
12/14 ES Trades
Nice short in the AM. Quick stop on a long attempt. Another nice short in the afternoon. +10 on the day.
12/15 ES Trades
Just another day of picking away at small winners. Quick long and then two short setups in the afternoon all for decent profit.
12/16 ES Trades
Quick short in the morning for a small winner. A second trade in the afternoon for a small winner. 2 or 3 points on each trade.
12/19 ES Trades
A couple beauties today. First trade of the day was a textbook short. Shorted 1216.50 with scales at +4, +6.5, and +12. This was followed by a long for a 3 point winner. Another short end of day for a nice winner. Really nice setups.
12/20 ES Trades
Some days you watch the market move and you are not in it. I used to chase days like this but through experience and losing $$. If the entry doesn't present itself, I just watch. No trades other than scalping a couple longs for a couple points. This was not a trend to fight.
12/21 ES Trades
Nice short in the morning. Quick long for a few points. Ended the day with a beauty long.
12/22 ES Trades
Not too exciting. Long for a few points followed by a break even short.
12/23 ES Trades
Christmas trading. Tried a short and took it off quick for a point. That was all.
12/28 ES Trades
More boring trading. No short entry in the AM. Tried a long for a few tick loss.
12/29 ES Trades
One nice long on the day. That was the only trade.
12/30 ES Trades
Took a couple shorts for few points each. Second short was more profitable in the close.
