Profit!! Just! S&P emini trading
The markets were looking to head upwards and I put on a long at 136850 with a limit at 137050. It hit target for +9 but then shot up even more to 137400… darn, I left a lot on the table!
The second trade was a short as I saw that the market had made a top from the candlestick patterns. The stochastics were looking to cross also. This short was at 137225. It hit my stop for -7 though when the market made a final push a little higher just shy of 137500 and tanked. You can see in the stochastics how the first one could have been the top.. just unlucky I guess!
Anyway, I ended up with +2… at least it wasn’t a loss!
