My guess and trading plan for MES for this morning.


May 30, 2023: MES Trade 1

I exited my MES short trade a bit earlier for new reasons:
  1. News reactions coming up
  2. A point above the ON lows
  3. Start the week with first green trade

I drew the a new blue line, as I am guessing a change of trend-lower today and possibly the news few days. Price action and volume will confirm soom....

May 30, 2023: EOD

Last trade did not go much and went against me more than I anticipated. I could have gotten a bit more, but it was around 2:50.

A good day overall, with some opportunities and no mistakes.

Lots of News and Feds today. My channels and TLs will not help me much. I may just trade ( sell) as the Feds speak since I have a feeling the will say the "I" word few times.

It's maybe easier to just sell markets very small today with a wide stop and cover EOD...

Only one chart I like, and it is still very weak; MCL



Trade with tight stops and care today. Lots of risk.....

As stated earlier, I just went short the "market" early on, with very small size and wide stop. Any breaking news can trigger a stop loss, either long or short. And we should have many "BREAKING" news today.

There was one setup on MCL, which I took twice. The first time I got stoped with -27 ticks the second I took a manual small gain as more OPEC news broke.

I still think the Feds may sells us off into the close, but you never know. One mention of deflation and we can be up 2% in minutes if not seconds....Again, too much risk for day trading, so I am done.
