Hey ! Arthur from Utah, did you do any trades today in the ES ? hope you getting some value out of this post.
******************************************************************************
10:36am Update : Second Target hit and filled at 1423.50 and Third target booked at 1422.25
Total profits : + 13.75 pts
******************************************************************************
9:00am Update : Notice how the Retail Sales Report came out very positive, yet the ES reversed to down after a UP price spike of only 1.25 pts and a spike in volume. This reaction is a clue of what will happened later at the open. A classic High Volume Reversal Trade,
Open Position : SHORT @ 1430 and 1428.75 , booked + 3 pts and looking for 1423.50
*****************************************************************************
8:30am Update : Sold 1430 will add at 1428.75 > test of 1429 Key Level < Sold 8:45am
Short Swing Position : ZBZ12 ( 30 yr T-Bonds ) from 149.15 > First Target was hit and booked + $ 437.50 or 14 tics.
Overbought Setup from cycle indicator worked as expected for a nice easy profit.

Monday-Oct 15 - 6:00am Update :
The ES has been trading between 1426.75 and 1429 for more than 4 hours which clearly indicates how important this zone is.
Long from 1416.75 < took profits at 1428.75 booked + 12 pts

8:26pm Sunday - Oct 14 :
The ES is trading tonight at a key trend line support while showing a divergence on the MACD key chart, if you have been following my previous posts, you should know which one.
The Sunday night Globex action has found support at : S 1 < 1416.50
My current position is Long from 1416.75, will take profits if it gets to 1423.50 and will initiate a short position there,if it does not hold, looking for a new low of 1412 to 1411.
1434 < Key Level
The key levels are : 1431
1429 < Key Level
1428.25 < VAH
1425.25 < Floor Pivot
1424.75
1423.50
1417
1416.50 < S 1
1412 < Key Level
1411
A positive Retail Sales report is expected but if it comes out weak it will push the market down.
The 30 year T-Bonds Futures will come down from overbought levels tonight , Sold 149.15 , it may retrace back up again during the day session.
Good trading,

Thanks for posting. It helps to know some of the thoughts behind the trades. I do appreciate it. I missed your post last night, but did note the MACD divergence, unfortunately I didn't go long at 1417ish area. I also had some morning meetings this morning, and so missed your nice play on the 1430-1423 short. Being two hours behind the market can make it difficult to hit the morning plays.
ReplyDeleteI did however shoot a long in around 1423 with a stop a few tics below the low it made at 1422 and rode it up to 1431. My precision still leaves something to be desired, its a work in progress. I must say you setup some very workable levels, and great trades today. You tore it up.
