ES Chart for August 21, 2009

After a dramatic opening, which resulted in a great trade, the market flattened out and stayed that way until a small move at the close. I missed the early part of the large move and limited out at 12 ticks, so I can’t say I really did a good job on the first trade. I had stopped trading toward the end of the day so I did not participate in the final legitimate trade of the day. I would not say I did a great job.
