Trading the ES (E mini) December 2003

[mark_m]

Jeez China you miss nothing! Well spotted!
I deleted the wrong line. The Rev div should go from the low of the 9:45 bar to the low of 10:10.

Directionless

Trying to get a HH, a HL will tell us if we can go higher. The SOX is stuck at the lows of its gap and the BIX is looking like a mare.

If you connect those peaks in MA. A break above that line by the MA is our long signal. It worked yesterday. Especially as we are in an uptrend.

 

[stoploss please]

BIX on double bottomw

An upmove here by the BIX will allow the ES to rise. What do ya think.

 

[china white]

agreed. but tick neg divs + neg internals say Sell UP. I am S 67.50

 

[stoploss please]

The first hour and a half I find are hard to read. The tick is now looking weak. Coffee and dougnuts time.

stoploss - respectfully disagree mate

apart from a quick drop below 0 tick hs constantly bn >0. Tick is unusually strong for a down move on tick neg divs + neg divs across indices. I covered S @ 65.25. Sipping my coffee and watching carefully. it is not a very common pattern.

 

[china white]

working S 68.50 - 127.2% of the drop. neg divs across indices still pretty much there. Sell UP set-up still in force.

VERY ODD tick behaviour for such strong neg divs across indices. there is some hidden strength i do not know about. My guess wud be it's just taken by the mrkt as individual Intel (and SOX) story. But i really do not care what the reason is - thez some strength for sure.

Cover 2nd S @ 66.50. Will be watching like a hawk over lunch w/o taking positions. Looks like it'll be 13:00 time pivot play.

 

[china white]

looks like wrong I was last pre-lunch orders were clearly entered in the direction of neg divs across indices. C'est la vie

That 68.75 was a short beneath the pivot. There was also LHs in th e BIX and SOX . I am finding the tick hard to read today. In a tight range, should you be using a lower tick time scale.

China, when you have a min could you please expand on those time pivots you keep mentioning. I remember Skimmy talking about important times such as 10:10, 12:10, 2:00 and 3:15. Your times don't seem to correspond so they must refer to something else I feel?
Cheers

of coz correct exit was @ 64.50ish on a tick pos div. jumped the gun and did not earn 2 easy pts (easy in hindsight of coz! )

 

[china white]

stoploss - my 1st hr pivot is below 68.50 mate! that was selling UP from above on neg divs across indices.

Q - my time pivots r: 10:30 9end of 1st hr, establishment of 1st hr Upper and Lower Pivots); 13:00 (lunch over, check if divs across indices from 10;30 r still there at 13:00), 14:15 (big money decides what they wanna do into close). of coz 12:00-12;10 is quite important as well as this is the time when the last big orders r punched in b4 lunch. 15:15 is quite crucial, however, i prefer not to trade into the last hf-hr, unless thez a clear trend on a trend day into the close.

Todays range action is defined by the low of two days ago and the pivot. Trading the ranges is some thing I need to sort out. I suppose it is the same for many a newbee.
