I know Strat, I heard you say that before and I would agree that price action is all that matters, irrespective of the hour/day/week. But as I spent more time trading ES, I really believe that OpEx days are really trappy, especially during bear ...

Long Oil starting to become interesting again No rush though

Nothing to see here

I don't check O/I on FX, so I have no opinion on FX options but I hear you, Dec is EUR-friendly in general. But that weekly candle is significant, I would look to short this week's highs if we ever get back there next week

Nice M1 trading Strat, as usual I believe the weekly is trying to say something... I would favor shorts starting next week

I agree Those put premia must burn, that's why I have a long bias for the day

After I exited my long ES, we tested the overnight lows at around 3943 and I took the 15mn signal (again) at around 3950 I still target 4000 for the end of the day SL at BE (again) UPDATE: Out again at BE+ Nasty day but no loss

Strat's PASR Long Term, Stress Free Trading

Well, I was wrong... I did take a trade. 3950 is a key level that I have been watching and which makes sense both for PA and for put/call open interests I took a long after the 5mn bar somewhat cancelled the previous 5mn bar Stop at BE, target 4000 ...

I try to avoid trading on monthly option expiration days (3rd Friday of the month) on US indices as it is mostly a mess. When there are significant open interests far away from price, it can be interesting, but right now, we are stuck between 3950 ...

Bistolis, Sometimes it helps to take a step back and look at the bigger picture On a daily chart, the trend is clearly bullish. The red line would have been my stop for intraday longs The blue line would have been my support level to try longs Longs ...

Bistolis, my question to you would be: why do you exit in the first place instead of trying to get back in?

On a side note, it pains me that this thread is not as popular as it used to be although it is everything a trader needs. What a team we had! But bear markets do that to traders I guess. Once the easy money is gone, only the warriors remain on the ...

Thanks Strat, but I don't think it is ready yet. DMA50 is way far and, also, the year-end seasonality will favor EUR which is the main component of DXY This is how I am looking at it (attached) 103-104 is a decent level but 100-103 is the big weekly ...

I still have them! (for now)

One trade today, long from 3921-ish as per an earlier post on 2 hourly support levels on ES Bad exit though at 3945, I should have moved my stop instead of taking profit directly 3960 was a more logical target

Getting ready for a reversal imo, but it may take until December

This is clear as mud... The Daily is showing signs of buyer exhaustion but the previous weekly is telling me this may be just digestion. I'll wait...

Always easier in hindsight, no doubt. You have to be in the zone, focus on your instruments and never let your ego prevail (i.e. use stops) I haven't traded the 5mn chart in years, it was just an hommage. It remains however a great timeframe to scalp ...

Just to say thank you to Strat, here is a 5mn chart of the ES and how it should have been traded following his guidance. A few years ago, I was pulling my hair trying to understand this magic

Given how I trade, for those trading ES, the 3930 and 3870 zones may offer interesting buying opportunities to continue the year-end rally

Happy I just took a tiny stab at short Dax based on a daily signal last night and this is all thanks to Strat to helped me, years ago, to respect the Boss. The short thesis from higher remains intact and this current context doesn't fit my day ...
