ES tonight

8 july
play 1:
Buy Stop Long at 1247, target 1253,
play 2:
stop "n" reverse Short 1253, target1: 1247, target2:1239, target3:1232

alternate play if price doesn't trigger play 1:
Sell Stop Short 1239, target 1232

well i was dead wrong about the second play, 'cos price just bounced off the Weekly S1 at 1247 and never looked like coming back. So gains on the Long were hit by the stop loss on the Short.

9 July, pre-market opening play:
sell stop @ 1270, target 1266

will update if there is any intra-day activity

sell stop raised to 1270.75

stopped out -3


-------------------------------
next trade

sell stop 1275 triggered, target 1271

out for +4

-------------------------------


now looking for possible bounce higher off the weekly pivot

-----------------------

took another +5 from 1271 to 1276
22:57hrs: Now flat awaiting a touch of PP or R1


22:30hrs
Buy Stop @ 1281, TP1285.5
Sell Stop @ 1266, TP1261.5


..

oops, only took 4.5 points out of a 20+ move, 'cos my short trigger was correct but I could only set TP1 because I went to bed.
If I'd been up, I would maybe have kept a portion of the position open and gone with the runner. ah well, the methodology is the most important thing ...

10 july

Tuesdays action had bounced right off Weekly S1, yesterday's action dropped to it like a magnet and closed almost dead on it
