Another oddly solid day in the bag...odd because I am kinda shocked at my ability to just sit and wait and do nothing if there is nothing to do. I believe it comes from a growing understanding that the absolutely WILL be a couple great trades a day...there is no need to make something happen (or throw a dart). Almost 1.5 times Daily goal and not pushing it with big news tomorrow.
Started on the short team...
Short Bar 2 close MES mostly due to full collapse on NQ. The old in and out every 10ish points until we hit a wall.
Looked SUPER weak through bar 4 and then...Super strong...but not to be trusted until they proved themselves...which took a bit. Tech leading the way. Not much profit on these as we had good bull bars and then doji's which shook me out twice.
PB long into HOD for 5 and over Daily goal.
PB and continuation on all markets..
Out after MM target.
Kinda shocked at the buying going on into tomorrow news. Fed stuff is baked in I'm sure but with CPI early on anything could happen. And missed a couple good trades today being too biased about a smaller range day after the down and up then sideways...I thought we were done for the day but apparently not. Bar 43 set the tone and did catch my attention but I didn't give it (or the retest on 47/48 enough weight).
Either way I am happy AF as Granny used to say..see you out there in the morning,
Craig
