Full Fill Long

Filled today - Currently sitting long with a full position in the mid/low 1080's.

*edit* Took out some of today's entry at 1103 for +14 on the entry. Still long with an average down in the 1080's (Sept.) and a couple of Dec. 1055's.

Currently....

Long a couple of Sept. 1071 (small) and Dec. 1055 (also a couple). Currently bidding 1085 to 1089 for a 3rd and possible final pullback before we head to 1170+. Stops are through 1072.

Offering 1112


Going to take the week off... so I need to lighten up.

Let's see if I can get out up here at 1112.
*edit* crappy - missed this by a tick. Took 3 out in the mid teens - +45 points.

Took 1091


+25


Took some more off here at mild resistance. Letting the rest ride... trail up the stops.

Took some off at 1078


+15 points.

This is to pay for the risk. Still long mid 1060's.

FYI - still holding small Dec. 1055 long.

Trendline Holding




Loooks like this trendline is still resitive.
I imagine a move either way will be pronounced and will continue for some time; going through either shaded region should set up an intermediate trend.
Currently long mid 1060's - but not going to let this get too far.

Covered the other half


from 1091 - + 15
Now long 1075 in Sept. and 1055 in Dec.
-
*edit* added - average price 1070 in Sept.
*edit* added in with size in the 1062/3 region. Average price is 1064/5

Path of least resistance...


... is UP? Seems this trendline is putting up a good fight. Time will tell.
-
So, I'll probably cover the other half of my 1091 short from last week on the first sign of weakness today.
I am still long ES Dec. 10 at 1055.

Covering half for +32



... of this mornings 1091 short.

This is the breakout point from last week - 1059.25 and a nice intraday double bottom.

I'm also taking an equivalent long in the Dec. contract at 1055 as a bit of a hedge in here. Not sure of where we go with today's weakness but I wanted to lock in this short.

Covered the other half @1091 +73 points.


From 1018.

Looks like resistance around 1094 to 1096... Starting a small short in the low
1090's. Risk is defined.
