<+Spartan> | Long ES @ 1382.50 -> small size «« paper »» | 10:04 |
<+eminitrader> | gotto go ...by 10 30 all this week...good trading all |
<+PapaJon> | take care em |
<+szubaark> | bye | 10:05 |
<+eminitrader> | oh..down p ...like i said will sell 86-88 area ..expecting test of 1364 on the SP ...before any meaningful bounce |
| bye papaj szu |
| but still got some time... | 10:06 |
<+Pepe> | thanks, have a nice day |
<+eminitrader> | urw |
| yes szu...plus my ma's around that area | 10:08 |
<+lumenPharmer> | sold my SKF, will buy again if ES daily uptrend can break | 10:10 |
| only way i can short in the IRA | 10:11 |
| ETF's work but they are sloppy |
<+eminitrader> | if
we see new lows in the next half hr.. with a failure at the highs on a
retest ...then expect a trend down day...pattern works quite
effectively...if brek of 84.50...expect gap fill wnd 1386-88 area |
| gap fill is 1388...expect 1388-1390 area... | 10:12 |
| dont see much upside ..as of now and based on the dailies pa | 10:13 |
| hld 2 for a high probability gap fill | 10:14 |

<+Spartan> | Covered all ES Short @ 1379 --> + 2 «« paper »» | 10:30 |
<+szubaark> | this could develop into a trend day |
<+Bambam-77> | looking for 74.50 still | 10:31 |
<+Spartan> | I think if we break the 75 area hard, yes it should be a trend day, may bounce there too | 10:32 |
| [10:33] <@NihabaAshi> weak support area here for ER2 |
<+Spartan> | Shorts ES @ 1379.50 -> small size «« paper »» | 10:33 |
| see if it rejects the 80s on this move | 10:34 |
<+Bambam-77> | pos by 11 am if not i will look for a bounce using 81.75 as trail stp |
<+Spartan> | will go for bigger profit if so |

| Shorts ES @ 1374 -> Add «« paper »» | 13:42 |
<+rickf> | as i read it, ER2 moves to ICE, and CME was doing an ER2 'substitute' contract |
