re: Intra day S&P 500

yeah, definitely missed out. It did dump quickly too.
But you made your target for the week so no sense crying about it!

Peter

I could have made next week's target too if I hadn't have been so trigger happy

You're going to laugh when I post this trade up in a minute:

You'll laugh even harder at this.

My second NQ trade got stopped out by a couple of ticks when it popped up to 2728. Look at it now.

The worst part is I entered too early (by my own criteria). Had I waited for a proper signal I would have sold higher and would still be in it.

Are you in fact referring to this?

No, it is worse than that. My entry and stop were off to the left, higher up.

But essentially - stop snicked, massive plunge, me crying - yes, that is how it happened.

You shouldn't begrudge paying him. He spent over a million dollars developing his systems.

I'm actually contemplating buying NQ now. Would somebody please punch me? Thank you.

I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Over the sickness, got the bandwidth back and spent the past 3 days staring aimlessly at a screen that might as well have been showing Rainbow re-runs.

Long 1391.75, got first target 1392.75 and now I am looking at this:

Am I the only one that sees a problem here???

FFS...

I would be surprised if it got past 94.75 my friend. Nobody seems to want to trade below 91 today

Pussy. Stop 1 tick below the low, target 2735.

Although I have already bailed in any case.

EDIT:

Enough. Can't concentrate at all today. Charts closed.

Oh no - I haven't taken the trade but that's what I can see as viable. I don't think it would make it past the VPOC today - nobody wants to break out of the IB - it's NFP tomorrow so everybody is just playing ping pong until the numbers come out.

The Yellow highlight is the last traded price....

Inside Bid 1392, Inside Offer 1392.25 - last trade 1393...

It's not as if this is peak time, either - just a total fk up of a data feed...

This time, I know it's not my connection - so the gremlins continue and I remain uncertain as to where the ES is trading.

Makes it a bit more exciting, I guess,,,

1389-90 has been supported all week. I don't expect it to break to day either. Should be lackluster trading volume until tomorrow's NFP data. Then anything goes.

Wait long enough & the VPOC will come to you
