May 22, 2023: EOD Summary



On my last trade, I went long and added twice. Two addons is the max I would take, for now. I can do addon since I am trading very small, based on my account size. My second Addon was too early. Here is why I was long:

--The two previous 5M bars were very bullish (big spread) with good volume. I took the Long at the high of the second of the bull bar. As the “Fake” Twitter news come out, many went short. I exited my long, so short I was as well. This would be used as fuel for the next leg up later as it was known to be a bad tweet.

--Trend line support below and we also had another pre-news previous swing low.

--Volume on the up bars were higher than volume on the down bars.

--So far, MES looks like a range day.

--Around 10:00 CST I decided that with two major bearish news (Pentagon and No debt deal) released in the AM, ES held well and even ticked higher. I did not want to get chopped around with many frustrating stops. So, I widen my stop to below the daily lows, and hold for daily Target/Loss.

--Out at 4218.25 on all with a good day: +41.5 Points on all contracts. It was a good exit as JPM CEO, AKA Mr. Gloom and doom, sold us off right after my exit. I think we would continue to HH even after Dimon’s comments…


It was a good day even with few mistakes. Again, early addon my major concern for now.[/B][/B]

1. Bull Flag or,

I am guessing 2....

TSLA's move to 200 today ( possible) will carry the market much higher from here.

Not much to do this morning with all the back and forth with Debt news.....

Possible change of Trend as TSLA still moving..

A breakout long looks good.
