Poolside yesterday, I watched as ES rallied. from 6030 to 6105 breaching the Thursday June 12 3:35 high.

I don’t know much.

But, I do know if we get in and out of ES — without letting a trade play out, we will ultimately be the suckers ES desires.

Yesterday we had a clear shorting opportunity as ES was in sideways chop and I offered both long and short opportunities. We have to take profits when they’re at the next level, and we have to let the trade play out.

Poolside yesterday, I watched as ES rallied. from 6030 to 6105 breaching the Thursday June 12 3:35 high.

What happened at that area?

ESU sold from 6105 to 5991 — quick.

Friday, we never got above 6085 to test that area.

Yesterday, I waited until a high was put in place, and if we turned I’d enter the confirmation trade. I offered up the trade idea in the chat. a few hours later I was filled.

The rest of the day…. Nothing.

A tight 10 point range.

But by the time I’d gotten home I was alerted that both my targets 16 and 39 points lower were filled.

This is why we wait.
Why we map.
Why we don’t flinch.

Because when ES is ready, it moves — and your only job is to be ready at the right level, not every level.

Yesterday I talked about Disney and it’s commitment to excellence of process. It doesn’t change what works. t does the same things—over and over—with world-class precision. That’s what we’re here to do.

We know what works — we know we can’t predict price — but we also know ES has tendencies — Our job to wait — then execute — then let price do it’s job.

Anything else, and we’re just hurting ourselves.
