An error trade, and then a two leg pullback. Drew the lines so its easy to see. Might still go up, but exited as the second leg ended and was slipped a tick. If it does go up, I would expect two more legs.

And this is a potential two-leg pullback. However, lunchtime now which typically results in limited follow through. And the entry would be right back into the barbwire, with only 3 ticks room to the top of the barbwire where it could likely fail ...

See the attached picture as to how I view legs relative to today's morning action. The exit for the long was at the end of the second leg. However, there was a final push to take out the early shorts, and then it turned again. That would have been ...

Got suckered in on the first trade, which had way too much overlap to be a good entry. Direction was correct though so bought the first reasonable signal bar for the second entry long, and then added to it expecting a second leg.

One trade so far on ES, a failed Low 2 on the 1M chart, which happened to also be the stop for the early shorts on the reversal candle, which was expected to fail. Trade hit the 3-drives top and pulled back so i stuffed the stop in there. Should ...

Only one trade for me this morning on ES. Very choppy, but with giant bars (and giant stops). This was a trade expecting the barb wire/chop breakout to fail, which it temporarily did, but with a small target back at the middle of the chop. ...

Slow day for me, not great with these narrow channel trends. Took my setups and earned a little money, but unfortunately both setups happened to be counter trend, so not a lot of money. But traded the plan and will live to fight another day. image ...

Really like that last line of your write-up. Not doing stupid things during market conditions that are less favorable for your method allow for you to maintain capital enough to capitalize when market conditions are favorable.

Ahhh got it - very nice. I typically only use the 5minute, but using the 1minute during volatility to get more reasonable stops. Any lower and i could see myself getting myself into trouble.
