Thank you for sharing all this! I got on the right side, but cut it so short. I also ended up taking a short at the top for another +40 so had a fantastic day at over 100 on the YM, but there was much more to be had. I did get a nice short on the ...

Two legs up now from the FOMC low with a big wedge top on the 1m.

Man, ES has not had 1 5minute bar tick below the prior all session. At some point this will exhaust, but the swing for the afternoon might come from a 2 leg pullback long. I thought that we would test all the short covering somewhere near the low of ...

Obviously could have held more, and would have with a second position. Need to get my new account set back up with the correct broker. TDs commission on the micro doesn't make sense. Looking pretty climactic here. Would potentially take a micro 2 ...

Target reached +58 (just inside yesterday's pullback high after FOMC.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Long instead after that bullish 5m. Pullback after the the trendline break, expecting another leg up.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Looking to short a LH on the 1M YM chart. Didn't give me anything before continuing down. I do see a L1 and would take a L2 on the 5m.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

I did take the L2 short, but there was immediate buying afterward so that was a bad sign, and then it moved back down and stalled and I exited for +2. So +24 and that's it, I have to leave.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

No short opportunity so far, and the 2nd leg up from the bottom appears more likely at this point which could setup a short opportunity. or may break out. Nothing to do so far for me although it was a nice single leg pullback long after the ...

Now the last swing low has been taken out, so potential for a short and trend continuation. However, a major trendline was broken, so alternatively a higher low or lower low MTR might occur. I was expecting more of a range prior to FOMC which makes ...

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

In hindsight, should have recognized the 000 as a target and taken it, ended up with +22, although we only have 1 leg really in this up move, it should go for 2 (one of the challenges for me of trading just one contract on the real YM). Will ...

Locking in a little more. huge exhaustive 1m bar there.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

A few things working in this trade; its a 1a2 on the 5min chart, micro-wedge on the 1-minute chart, and then we do have confirmation of a turn on the 1-min chart as well with the last reaction high having been broken. Not sure we get a big run back ...

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Half off at +25 at a trend termination doji. A bit torn about the second part, but up on the day and the premise of the trade is still valid, so going to leave it at BE and see if we can get one more push to one of the targets.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Modifying target for the second leg projection and moved to BE. Not sure this has the juice to get there. Would exit early on a high 2 against the position, or at BE if it just single legs back to the entry.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Short again, obviously trailed the first short too close as that had a lot more legs than I expected. The retest came much later than I thought. Could be a lower high major trend reversal (MTR), although perhaps not. A 60/40 trade, but with good R:R ...

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Red zone seemed to provide a good reaction. I had a similar zone, but unfortunately didn't find an entry yet (the high was yesterdays RTH low relative to our RTH/ETH discussion).

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Very nice! Certainly was a lot of strength out of that low. What is the redzone up top?

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Took the first piece off and at BE on second. Short target given very counter-short-trend, although with long term trend so thought perhaps this would the two leg top on the HTF charts to reallign with the downtrend.

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Hey! Welcome. I've gone back and forth on overnight data and if I used tick charts I would maybe include as it would compensate for the lack of volume. But the gaps (or lack of gaps) play into part of my strategy and so I find them useful. It seems ...
