GLOBEX swinging wide.

watch IWM here

The price action here is extremely weak so far. No robot drones like I'd expect. They may come any second, but the area didn't trigger them, which is curious.

Yes, TF at new LOD already.

interesting IWM flushes and ES still holding steady

The most important point so far to me is, this is the first time we've had a dip and they don't come in like crazy for it automatically. We may have our intermediate top.

there must be a slew of stops right here somewhere

We are now deep in the primary area. Let's see if this activates the manipulation ramper robot drones... (MRRD's?, a new term?)

876 is a gap fill.

The drones just have to hit this... If they don't, it's a total sea change.

well, I don't trust them and I'd be shocked if they didn't do their thing

I understand what you're saying, T.
I guess my comment was referring to traded timeframe and management.
If one were to trade this as a DT at a key line and 447 the traded timeframe should be a 120min chart.
Based on that it produced three minor bars that, imo, are inconclusive either way.
I didn't take the trade because just a trigger off the PTA wasn't good enough for me. For a daytrade I wanted to see a nice Wave 2 type pullback to get in (which it ultimately still might produce on the traded timeframe). It didn't give me that so I stood aside.
I guess my point is that I have often mismanaged trades in the past because I got caught up on lower timeframes where everything is magnified. while I find it important to see what goes on there and it has helped me understand price action better I have also found it misleading at times.
Like you said, you have the experience to tell the difference on a lower timeframe.
For me it's a work in progress.
