Trade Review

🧾 Trade Summary Wednesday, February 4, 2026 You executed a short on ES from 6949.25, based on:

  • A bearish inverted FVG around 6960.50–6955.00
  • A confirmed VIX rally from the daily gap into a 15m and daily FVG (18.34–18.06), rejecting after pushing above previous swing highs at 19.96 and 20.37
  • Weak tech sentiment (AMD post-earnings) and a badly missed ADP employment figure (22K vs 46K forecast)
  • Intraday divergence: ES made a higher high at NYO while NAS made a lower high — signaling weakness under the surface 📍 Entry: 6949.25 ⛔ Stop Loss: 6965.50 ✅ TP Hit: 6933.50 🎯 Target Zones: Daily low, SY/TK low, and yearly open at 6901 (final target not held due to profit-locking rules) 🔁 Execution Method: Limit order across [broker] [broker] PA and multiple WealthChart accounts
