11:00AM - Bullish/Neutral Environment

Buy signal here risking 5 pts to make 5 pts in ES.

After 30 minutes, raise stop to only 3 pts risk.

After 60 minutes, raise stop to breakeven.

909 as I started typing, 907.50 last.

11:05AM EST

ES 911 High = Buy Signal at 906 on 5 pt pullback

Raise stop to breakeven after 15 minutes from entry.

OR, exit at 4pm.

Still No Entry Provided as of 11:53AM -
Testing my Text to Blogger capability with this text -

11:35AM - No pullbacks of 5 pts in ES

Bullish Environment - no pullback yet to enter long after the 10:00AM Consumer Confidence #.

904.25 high, 902.5 last at 11:37AM

I still suggest buying at 5 pts off the high, risk 4 pts, target 7 pt profit.
ALSO - raise stop to breakeven after just 15 minutes (if there is an entry)

Bullish Environment = Buy 5 pt ES, or 50 pt YM pullbacks

At 10:30AM the environment is bullish after a strong consumer confidence reading of 54.9 vs 40.8.

The high in the ES is 902.50 and the YM 8423

Buy 5 pt pullbacks in ES at 897.50, risk 4 pts, target 7 pts profit.
Buy 50 pt pullbacks in YM at 8373, risk 40 pts, target 70 pts profit.

Welcome back to Tim West's 'TIMING THE MARKET'

Trades are intraday in the major US stock market indexes.

I will post a time to enter - a time to exit - and two exit prices with each idea. One exit is to close out a profit, the other to close out a loss. I may also use trailing stops from time to time.

The best way to track my performance will be when I get the Collective2 account up and running. If you haven't already been to www.collective2.com then please do.
