Price Action Trading, (9/19/24) ES, 2W, Rally to Bullish Bias Sideways Move

Most of the large rally occurred in the premarket. On the open prices chopped sideways but moved gradually upwards. There weren't too many setups I could find and I took two trades. Both were profitable. The first trade I entered a little late and chased the entry a little bit. Fortunately I was able to get a decent runner. The second trade should've been skipped as there were way more going against the trade (shorting into resistance, shorting into EMA, countertrend).
