ES Short Term Trading 6-18-10

giant 12 point consolidation....1113 - 1101 ..key between at 1106.50...other is 1117 - 1118.75 and 1125..selling rallies today

TPO count favoring the buyers inside this VA...so this should trade above 1113.75 again..holding 2 runners for trips and new highs.....agressive I know!!

is it gonna be the 1113.75 break or 1110.50..? sure wish it was going up from here but not convinced...like I said...a dangerous place

Bruce, what does TPO stand for? I sometimes just need the spelled out version of your acronyms/abbreviations and then I can decipher what you are looking at. Thanks for your insight!

flat 14.25 print as trips below may be foriming onthis 5 minute bar below so I can't hold any longer

That's market profile term for Time - Price Opportunity...more time is being spent below the Point of control which implies buyers are more agressive and holding this up

I can'ttake any other trades until some of this resolves...so many conflicts..Trips above, below, Double 30 minute at highs and 10.50....true consolidation!!,

Got to get some sleep, but fwiw, i think were in for a few boring hours here.. as i alluded to earlier mish mash untill late afternoon (mish -mash = my term for lots of little ups and downs but basically going sideways) . i think were going to see some good action next week tho, mostlikely on the downside! as a well known blogger has pointed out the week after expiration (June triple witching) is normally down. last 10 in a row and 17 out of the last 19! Anything can happen ,but those are pretty good odds in my book!

Hey kool, I know you are probably asleep now, but if you can clarify this for me when you get a chance I'd appreciate it. Are these stats for triple witches, June only triple witches, or all OpEx? Can you mention the source, or send me a PM with it? Thanks.

I did find one reference to 15 of 17 being for June triple witch, so I guess that's the answer?

short 12.25 for 11.25 and 10>50 break

Historically, the monday following OpEx is -ve from a quant PoV.
Will be interesting though, as recent bullishness of Mutual Fund Mondays will be put to the test.

That was also the globex low at 6:00am i think, a natural 'magnet'. i thought we might see boring mish mash today, ending up sideways... and the june es finished unchanged!..Look for downside action next week,imho! c ya!
