ES 5-20-2011


Here is the weekly RTH volume profile through Thursday. POC ins the thick red line at 1339. Compared with the relative volume on the lower pane saying this is a low volume environment, prices are simply digesting the big move up from Tuesday. More sideways action today or do prices break above/below this congestion?

Other than that, was there anything that was going on (technically) pre-market or at the open that would've given a heads up to this morning sell off?
Have a great weekend
I am done for the day
Good Luck to all.

From an earlier post on the 1st page ... a study regarding OE morning price action behavior ... first hour unfolded very similar to what was described:

"Stumbled across this info on a "study" done on quantum chart's website. There are more details and particulars provided here: http://quantumcharts.com/trading-strategies-reports/backtest-stock-trading-strategies.html ... and you have to scroll down to the heading S&P – OE, as there are several SP strategeries described on the same page."

Rock on, that's exactly what I wanted! Now I know not to fight those statistics on OE. I need to add that to my toolbox...

It also mentions the close isn't necessarily down, so it could mean for a nice long... that may have already started.
For those who use fibs, 5/17 RTH low to 5/19 RTH high, the 52.8% retracement is at 1330. We just came within a couple ticks.
It's all good...I just wanted to make sure that nobody trades for O/N triples or anything mentioned on these threads without doing their own research first.....

Most know not to do this I hope...

u have a great weekend too..

Absolutely. Thank you. And I sincerely hope my comments are NOT taken as sarcasm. I was simply amazed by the market movement today and thought I could add a touch of humor to what I considered a WOW moment.

Actually hoped it did fill for that virtual group high five moment!

If I don't say anything else, I'd like to take this moment to wish everyone a great weekend! g'night!

I have no evidence of the reliability of Triples in the Overnight session being run out so use them as targets at your own risk.....

I'm going to go put on a diaper, because if the two left up there in the 40's fill today.... I'm going to need it!
