Any improvement yet? Agree to what is already said. With time candles you can't actually spot price action. Maybe a 1min bar or shorter will do, but better is using range bars. BUT. Since there is so little volatility in the ES it is best not to trade that market at all. Especially not if you are trying to daytrade the ES. Find a market that shows some volatility.
When it comes to a proper trend, ES seems to be a garbage bag. How? It moves 4 ticks up, 5 down, 6 up, 2 down, 9 up, 6 down. Like wth. Where can I even enter / exit in this mess? Eventually, it will do whatever it wants to, i.e. go up or down but almost always have a false breakout and stop out everyone who is trying to be on the bandwagon. I found CL and GC have better moves most of the times than this.
I mostly trade NQ, 8tick Renko with wick. Primary indicators are 4 EMA ribbon (42,57,72,87) and 42 EMA Keltner Channel with 5 standard deviation channel.
I also have other charts for big picture look.
One for intermediate trend and other with volume profile to identify areas of control.
