Market was strong from the open, for early inter day trade long was a good option. (look at those green bars in the chart).  I started to monitor the closing price at 9:00am for the following time frame 60 min, 30min, 15 min charts (i.e.,  if closing price was above or below 50% of its range).  My decision was to enter/exit  trades based on the 50% price rule.

$ES futures paper trade, Thursday Oct 29th

FOMC announced Wed Oct 28th, they have not deciding to increase interest rate until December. Which is way my bias is to upside in short term. For today I was playing long, and was expecting the inter-day price movement to take out overnight high( 2085).

Looking forward there is possible bearish divergence (30 min chart), will have to watch Asian and Euro market time price action.


Trade log: Long tried twice. First trade took a loss (3.75 points), second long trade was profitable, first half  out +5 points second half +7.25 points
