A winner to start and then a double stop out on the ER (which worked after that). See both sections below.

Net ticks: -13.5 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Triggered short at A at 1538.00, hit first target for six ticks, but couldn’t even reach down to fill the gap and stopped second half over the entry:

ER:

Triggered long at A at 903.30 and stopped for 8 ticks. Put it back in and it triggered ten minutes later again and stopped. Worked after that:

A winner on the ER and a loser on the ES created a wash. See both below. Market volume picked up, but the afternoon action was dead flat, and that’s when the ES triggered.

Net ticks: +0 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Afternoon breakout triggered long at A at 1549.50 and stopped for 7 ticks:

ER:

Triggered short under LPT at 909.40 at A, hit first target for 8 ticks and stopped second half 6 ticks in the money. After a bounce, the trade really worked, giving the move that I had originally hoped for:

One trade that just missed the first target by a tick and then stopped (before working), and one trade that worked, leads to almost a wash for the session. See ES and ER sections below.

Net ticks: -2 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Triggered long at A at 1505.50, hit first target for 6 ticks, and closed out the final piece at B at 1507.50 near the Value Area High over lunch:

ER:

Triggered long at A at 902.40 and stopped for 9 ticks after just missing the first target by a tick:

A winner on the ER and a loser on the ES that washed exactly. See both sections below. Market volume was 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares again, and we ended up with a drift higher even though the initial direction for the options unraveling move looked lower. We also left a gap behind.

Net ticks: +0 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Triggered short at A at 1470.75 and stopped for 7 ticks:

ER:

Triggered long at A at 884.30, hit first target for 7 ticks and stopped at the same in the money:

Two triggers, two winners for the session. See ES and ER sections below.

Net ticks: +11.5 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Mark’s long triggered at 1457.25 at A, hit first target for 6 ticks, second half stopped under the entry:

ER:

My long triggered at 875.90 over R1 at A, hit first target for 8 ticks, adjusted the stop twice and stopped at 876.90 for 10 ticks:

A nice winner on the ES and a stop out on the ER despite light volume in the market. These were both in the morning, as the afternoon was a joke. See both sections below.

Net ticks: +4.5 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Mark’s short triggered at A at 1446.75, hit first target for 6 ticks, and after several adjustments, stopped the final at 1441 at B:

ER:

Mark’s short triggered at 833.50 at A and stopped for 8 ticks. He did not re-enter, although that worked:

Two winners for the session (see ES and ER sections below), although they only went to their first targets in light volume early. NASDAQ volume ended at only 1.3 billion shares again, and we didn’t see options unraveling.

Net ticks: +6 ticks.

As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:

ES:

Triggered long at 1402.50 at A, hit first target for six ticks, stopped second half under the entry:

ER:

Triggered long at 797.40 at A, hit first target for 8 ticks, stopped second half under entry:

Started out good with a nice ER winner early, but then two ES stop outs erased that as market volume went lighter again (not as bad as Monday though). NASDAQ volume was 1.6 billion shares.

Net ticks: -4.5 ticks.

As usual, we will start with the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, Seeker, and VWAP:

ES:

Mark’s short triggered at 1321.00 at A and stopped for 7 ticks. Long idea breaking into the Value Area and back above the Pivot for the gap fill triggered at B and stopped (great setup, no market action) for 7 ticks:

ER:

Triggered short under LPT at 780.20 at A, hit first target at B for 8 ticks, and lowered stop twice and stopped the final piece for 11 ticks:

A great day in our futures trading, although an afternoon trade stood little chance with no market volume. See the ES and ER sections below for reviews. We won 3 out of 5, but two of the winners worked like we like to see them.

Net ticks: +25.5 ticks.

First, let’s take a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional tool, Seeker, and VWAP:

ES:

Mark’s ES triggered long at A (1277.50), finally hit the first target at B for six ticks, and after two stop adjustments, stopped at C (1281.00). He had an afternoon call that triggered at 1275.00 at D and stopped for 7 ticks, and then triggered again at E and hit the first target at F, then stopped under the entry on the second half:

ER:

This one was a long entry at A over 737.70 that stopped quickly (ER is a jumpy contract), then triggered again in the next 5 minute bar and went, hitting the first target at B and raising the stop before finally stopping the final half at C at 742.40 for 47 ticks:
