2008-08-22 Live ES Futures Counter-Trend Trade

Here’s a counter-trend trade on the ES futures in the afternoon. In the video, I give my rationale for getting in, and my rationale for getting out. Did my trade work, or do I eat ramen noodles tonight? Watch and find out!

Triple-Screen ES Futures Trade Friday Morning

Here’s an example of a triple-screen entry from this morning on the S&P 500 Futures (@ES):

2008-08-20 Live ES Futures Counter-Trend Trade

I tried to buck the trend and go long as price curled up… did I succeed?

First Triple-Screen ES Futures Trade Today

I started watching the markets around 9:30 central time. Can’t quite seem to get home and to my trading desk by 8:30… gotta work on that!
Anyway, here’s the first trade I saw set up. Pretty!

Note that there was another good setup around 10:00ish, on the stochastic hook up. But I must [...]
