I can see I need to start trusting my instinct, buts that ok. Still doing fine, plenty of time ...a few my friends say i should pilot for the navy..i'm 27, i'm too old. i tell them but i don't rattle

[TASK]

What platform are u trading on?

 

[ESrat]

Still holding 2 ES short and 1 YM. Getting whipsawed a bit too much for my liking however hanging in there confident I can manage these trades effectively. Don't know anyone that likes drawdowns but they're a fact of trading life.

 

[ESrat]

stopped breakeven.

holding one (very long)

short YM 12824, one contract

selling one more 12947. a little out my league to be so short but it is what it is. i'm trading around this YM short too.

starting today with 42K left in the account.plenty of room for wiggle. remaining confident.

 

[ESrat]

once on skype a veteran trader suggested watch how price reacts to "inflexion" levels... they can't keep price from but may suggest to what extent it may drop or rise...before reversing.

Since then I always keep this bromide in mind.

 

[ESrat]

CNBC says "well off highs today" right now...good enough for me to hold my shorts.

 

[ESrat]

APPL earnings driving the market.

don't care regardless of their reporti would not want to be long this market, no way

if they beat we go down, nothing else to look forward to for another 3 quarters; if they miss we go down. fears...lose either way imo confirms the recession, lose either way imo

 

[ESrat]

Huh.

I won't add to my position but I will trade around it to the short side. Temporary drawdown, it happens, need to deal with it confidently;won't get rattled.

 

[ESrat]

1382 breached may get us 1378. May dump #1 short at 1378, then sell it short again a bit higher.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

 

[ESrat]

Taking one ES short off table on the next dip <1380...next 10-15 mins , put it back on higher.
