ES trades for 7/23/13

Trade #1 - At the open, the market went into a tight trading range. It then headed into a downtrend, but stalled a little and saw a double bottom forming at around 10:17. Went long @1690.00 and exited at around 10:21 for +0.50 pt. It was a manual exit, as prices met resistance at the upper trend line.

Trade #2 - Prices met resistance at the upper trend line. Took a 2nd entry short at around 11:37 @1688.00. Prices proceeded to break through the trend line and shoot up. Stopped out at around 11:50 @1689.50 for -1.50 pt. Made a mistake of shorting when prices were above the EMA.

Trade #3 - Prices were in an uptrend but retraced back and hitting lower trend line. Went long at around 12:45 @1688.75 and exited at around 13:19 @1690.25 for +1.50 pt. My auto target is set at +1.25 pt, but I'd moved target up manually a bit, since prices were shooting up quite rapidly towards upper trend line.
