Trying to be disciplined and not trade this sideways slow action. I know from experience that during this quiet period in the market positions tend to lose money and drift in the wrong direction. So I have done 0 trades so far today.

I follow these rules for trading futures:

When market is slow, price will likely go against me, so if I trade I will have to live with the consequences

A trending market will likely continue in the same direction.

Sell high and buy low

Don't use stop orders

Get out of losing trades

After I exit a trade, take some time to calm down and don't trade for a while to get my head on straight

Don't trade just because I want to make money

Put on one trade in the ESH3 contract.

Long
Entry 3915.75
Exit 3925.75
Result +$500.00

If the SP can hold 3800 over the next couple of months I think that is bullish for stocks. A lot of it depends on how aggressive the Fed gets with raising interest rates.

Put on one trade in the ESH3 contract

Long 1 contract
Entry 4034.75@12:09pm EST
Exit 4044.75 @12:54pm
Result +$500

I have been trying to figure out when to take profits and the logical answer for me was to take profits at 10 ES points making it a clean $500.
