20240124 pre market



News
9:45 some pmi numbers

Condition
Breakout is intact
otf up on the daily

We open with a big gap up
oni is 100% long
we open near the top of the onr

Thoughts
Market is very bullish and as usual already long positioned
Breaks are buyable
Liquidations can come anytime

To get early in a MOVE we have to develop a feeling of
what break is too much (and could continue)
what break is not enough
what break is buyable

Alternatively we can wait for an established inflection and than get a liitle scalp in the already running MOVE

20240125 pre market



News
-

Condition
Breakout still intact
Yesterday we saw some liquidation but that only filled the gap
Value clean higher
We open in range > ecpect chop > trade later

Thoughts
It seems that we could come into Balance a bit
I should learn to collect smaller targets

Hi
i developed my own strategy for ES and tried it on demo mode for the last 4 months in 350 trades. it has good results.
is this enough time of verification? - can i go live already?
what do you suggest?
thank you
LD

20240126 pre market



News
Next week we have most big tech earnings

Condition
Breakout still intact
Yesterday was an inside day
We open in the middle of y range > expect chop > trade later

Thoughts
I see the last two days as temporary balance
As such the edges are interesting
Especially fails on the downside as we are bullish on the higher timeframe

What not to do
Trade in this potential choppy area

Looked above the Balance high and failed/liquidated
I liked the idea of a second move to low of Balance/weekly vwap but that did not occur
