ES short term trading 5-07-10

Once again a historic day. (the secular bear that started in 2000 has seen many of them!).Unlike 87,(i was trading!), unlike 98, unlike all the history made last year in a historic bear market, this crash was simply stunning. The dow plunged 1000 points not in time measured in 2 days or even all day, but in MINUTES! Welcome to the new dayz of algorithm driven robot trading! TRULY AMAZING . I didnt have many comment or posts during most of it because my charts were messing up (so i thought) and ive been around enough to know when Not to trade. I thought that was pretty much common sense, but apparently some chose otherwise. Foolish! I saw movements measured not in 1 or 2 handle increments like the 87 crash, but moves that looked like 7 or 8 handles at a time.I read one analyst who said they were closer to 20.Anyway, to the future. Like with any major earthquake, there is always the chance of small aftershocks, so please if you decide to dip your toe in the water, exercise due caution and USE PROTECTIVE STOPS!....Trust me, new highs (thats right i said new rally highs are ahead). The world isnt ending quite yet! lol

the DOM for ES has 1/10 the normal size.
I used to see 3K contracts on the b/a
now I see 200-300 contracts on the b/a

All the 'bots are gone !!

I see a short area @1115.75

Well, your lvl was acting like resistance for a short while.
May have been good for a 2pt scalp.
What was your reasoning to go short 1115.75?

Simple I draw a fib retracement from day session low to next candle HH after a LH. Then took out levels 161.8 to short on my discretion.

thanks for the chart..have a great weekend
