1 point tonight. Two shorts: 1046.75 and 1046.5. Covered them at 1046.25 and 1046. The stop was set at 1048.5 way above recent high 1047.It's been profitable on ES front although scalping is just picking the pennies. I may venture into swing trade over a few days or a week horizon. What would be the target and stop for swing trade? I guess I would risk no more than 1-2% of the capital on each trade. The setups will be two: trend following using SMA 5 and 20, and Bollinger Bands/Slow Stochastic. I'm using the same setup trading other stocks and options.
Bot SUNW Jan04 at 4.05, rolling over Nov contracts to Jan.
Other than a long position on SUNW, almost 100% is in cash right now.

1 point last night. However, it was down 8 point due to the stop order problem. ES went through the stop (1044) without triggering it.ES

+ 1.5 point tonight. Two longs and one short, all in less than 5 minutes. A few large orders (5 to 10) came in and cleared all the way to the short setup I had at 1050.75. Then it came down quickly to 1050.ES

1.25 point last night. 1 point today. Mostly it's done by auto-pilot, that is, the order was set up and run its course (stopped out or hit the target). No monitoring and no emotion either.Market News And Commentaries

- When you have a patient with a high fever, you don't sit around asking what caused the fever, you focus on getting it down, says Dennis Gartman about today's ECB "backdoor bazooka." It may not solve Europe's financing problems, but it will provide much needed liquidity to the banks and prevent any disorderly deleveraging, at least over the near-term. Sometimes, Gartman says, just buying time is the best you can do. (video)
