Good point.. even if we are right, a move to 97-99 is only a 'normal' range day!! And imho we still need a 27-35 range day to 'even things out!! (tomorrow or friday?).. i'll be trading crude, but my gut says up into the aug 2-3 timeframe before a much bigger decline!!! (similar to the 1219 top)

currently one min chart wants 1.618 at 1006.25 or 2.618 at 1008.50.... maybe

hey, Bruce!..you long? short? doin anything today or not?... i see its been very slow and boring so far

Some of you may have been trading for more than a decade, what is the smallest daily range you remember seeing in ES (RTH)?
The range today ( so far ) is only 8 points.

8-31-06 4.00 point range Therer were more than one back in late 05 early 06, begin of 07.
11-21-06 3.75 range

hari, if you want to see small daily ranges, just look at a chart of the VIX for low readings.

I can remember 2006 as containing many days of painfully small ranges RTH.
end of 2005 into beginning 4 months of 2006, painfully small RTH, some like 5 points.

Sept 2006 up to Feb 07. I remember, I was trading 89 tic ES charts.

I don't know whether everyone remembers my earlier post, but one tick "fake-out" proved to deliver a weak bounce that ultimately failed.

forming on the 5 min chart...if so , project around 1002

double hmmmmmm

selling 1004.50

short and watching 1106.75 - 1105.75....POC's and Va's there for me...I'm trying to shy away from posting actual trades as I want to focus on the concepts......for some reason it is always tempting to post positions but I question the Value for end users...I guess it makes it a bit more interesting.....anyway I want runners to get Mondays lows but I know how that goes for me.....


Neutral days either close on extreme or in the middle quite often ...I'm hoping for the down close extreme based on the volume areas I mentioned earlier...chart later...bond close is always a rough place and time for me.....so holding is harder in here

If I remember correctly it was something like 3.25 points and it was the day before Thanksgiving Day.

Thanks DT.
