What the execution data shows
- I captured 6.25 of a 6.5-point move, 96% of what the trade offered.
- Heat was only 1.25 points, so the entry was close to the turn.
- ES kept rallying to about 7,705 within the next 40 minutes, roughly 10 more points after my exit.
- One trade, no ES chop, no adds. Last night’s ES losses came from shorting into a market that wasn’t moving. Tonight I waited for a level and took the bounce.
Takeaway
This is the patient, level-based trade at its best: one entry at a strong level, small heat, high capture, done. It also closes a strong week: five Globex sessions, 25 wins and 3 losses, +$7,776.28. A small runner here would have caught some of the extra 10 points.
