ES looking ok now - shrug. Long @4150.
Doing the same set up it's done for 4 days running. MM L4 cross followed by a Vic2b.

ES tgt 4168.75
Gold tgt 2027.2.
People may wonder why I give away my method. Two reasons. First is that the more you help others to make money, the more money you make yourself (so long as it's a genuine gesture and actually helpful). Second reason is that you have to have trading psychology mastered to use any system, and I can't help with that since I haven't mastered it myself yet. Work in progress. Namaste.

Just spotted - this upswing is almost completely bare of FVGs. So I'm selling ES early at a profit. I think it's going to dump again and close around 4135.5 or lower. Also dumping gold as it's not moving.

It added another 35 ticks before falling to 4137 (not 4135.5). I guess I read it incorrectly.
Anyone else trade ES? How did you read that section of the chart? What did I miss?

Waiting for at least the lowest line to be broken, preferably both.

Strong angle and buying into the breakout. Predicting it will go straight to 4160.75, pause, then 4161.75.

ES stopped out at BE.
Gold getting smashed. Something around 1978 might be a good entry. Unusual because the run up to the trendline (gold 1 min) had a huge amount of buying, like I've never seen before.
ES long 4146. Same tgt as before.

Takes me a good 30-60 minutes to mark up the ES chart for the day, but thath will get quicker. When the RTH starts, I don't like moving to a different chart like gold unless the ES is totally flat and lifeless. So I've narrowed it down to just ES, I think. It allows me to become completely absorbed in one thing.

Stopped out.
Will enter long at 4141.5 if it eventuates, but am watching out for a narrow downwards channel. If such a channel develops, I won't.
The avoidance of the trendline (orange arrow) signalled a downwards move, but I didn't give it a lot of weight because the order flow Friday was bullish.

It's at the level now, but the order flow is showing selling and the pattern is a bit narrow. So I'm going to wait for the pattern to broaden out a bit and I see if I can spot some buying.
More easily seen on the hourly. It's not steep, but it is narrow.

Now it's cascading (narrowing range and accelerating fall). Cascading is more likely to end with a big volume bar and a V-bottom rather than the usual complex bottom.
A level for this turning point might be 4131.5, but only if the volume spikes.

Candlevolume clearly shows the volume stopping bar, but there's still not enough buying yet. So it may turn into a complex bottom. Either that or I've missed an opportunity. There's a few other reasons for 4131 (approx) further back in the chart, so I'll wait for that.

Double bottom after the stopping volume. Annoying.
That high flag at the right edge is bullish, but high flags often have a bad RR. Plus there's a trendline just overhead.

Short ES 4163.
Stop nearby at 4167.
edit: Scambled out of that. There will be a better opportunity.

I did manage to catch it again at the same price. In and out for 40 ticks.
Now there will be a dull period for a while I think.

4152.5 level tells me if bulls or bears in control in the short term. Expecting it to pause there as it decides. My tgt is above that.
