Stared them today and passed today.

Boy is Jeff right about loving the opening volatility! Caught 3 swings as /ES played Pong. A good day. Thanks @Jeff Ziegler !

I was watching the downward channel this morning and waiting for a violation to the upside; I eventually got in and set my brackets, but price kept hitting the mean and I flattened it two candles later for a scratch as I thought it might be ready to break support and break down (the other move I was watching for). And then the market opened on the next candle, and it flew...🥴 Was it a 50/50 entry or reasonable? Was I overly cautious to exit early? How influential is the mean when we're trading off the 5-minute (that was my deciding factor to get out early)? I'm grateful for any and all feedback.

Quick WINS on the above in 1-2 trading days😄 And a learning opportunity on DIA. Always be ABOVE/BELOW the UPZ/LSZ. Completely above/below not 90%.... Stopped the brain damage that had started and got out and went on to trade great today 7/3/24. All good. ... IN THE ZONE!

Calling it a day in the futures side. Caught the move up today and made $1,523 Something I learned that I need to step out when I'm already profitable for the day and not to chase the trade or keep looking for trade to take and end up losing what I've made. Lesson learned! Now let's see if we can get some time decay on the credit spread side. $10k to go!
