Jeeze , i was down 24 at one time ( a lot for me!) Note how we turned at 1031, a round number, not 1031.25 or 1030.75? In a market crash around number is usually the turning point. 87 taught me that!

Took a big 5 figure hit this A.M. Still less than I made last week. I decided to bail since it was small enough to make back maybe by wend. and finish the week up....I am still long those calls, I bought some Nov 105 calls, just glad I sold those Nov calls early Friday.

You "could" figure them down so close to where there only pennies apart. But thats not the way they are used by me and also Gann. Here are the numbers I use, these are about 19 points apart, some more some less....

Some common sense should be used...like don't trade these alone mix them with something good like $TICK, Market profile or RSI, If a market is doing a breakaway gap don't expect much on a counter-trend trade instead go with the trend after the number is broken. Treat them like everlasting pivots....
A good ex for a scalper would be the ES right now 10-7 at 2:30 the ES hit a high of 1042.5 thats close enough to my sq nine at the same time the 1 min RSI is overbought and the $TICKS are at the highest levels of the day, so it falls and falls to where? the next sq nine 1025 at that time the $TICK is reading -1000 time to get out of the short and go long. I have never seen them go from sq nine to sq nine so fast 2 years ago it could have been up to 3-4 days before hitting another sq nine and we would play the ES to death off that single S/R number using only a few other simple tools.
P.S. I trade front month until there is less than 5 days of time left then I switch to the next month and I only trade those exactly in the money.
