ES Thursday 2-16-12


42.50 - 44 is first resistance to go back to 38- 39 area...( lots of stops at 40.25 now )above is 47 - 49.25 for sells to use 44 as a target


this is a bracketed market still and all the volume this week is in this 42.50 - 44 so these sells are harder I think...safer sells are higher up in that upper zone

below the 38 area i will wait till I see trade under 35 to look for longs

No, the high tick was 1345.25 ...right at my price projection
I am correcting the number to be 1345.25 to 1345.50. I did the measure wrong by one tick.

for entry purposes of course as you were selling. I know the actual tick. My congrats are still in place.
ohhh ,i see what u mean... sorry , i thought maybe your charts were off!
well lets see, high was 1345.25 ,then initial move to 1343.25 for an initial move of 2 handles, so the 1.618 is 1342.00 and the 2.618 is 1340.. so i will exit 1342.25 if they let me . I always exit early to be safe!
(ps: thats currently the red avg on the 5 min chart)
Note that to reach the 'average' daily range we need to go to about 1348.25 (14 handles)
