Just over three hours until the futures open. Although there will be a break for part of tomorrow's RTH time, otherwise it's still 'game on'. I'm bored and ready for action. I'm not sure what my life would be like without the market, I guess I'd find something else that I find exciting...

You all know the 1-2-tick game. GLOBEX high at 16.25. I think it wants higher, so that game may not play out, but I'm ready for it.

!6.50 hit and produces a small reaction so far. I think it will 'blow out' to the upside. We'll see.

'Normally' I'd expect the 1-2-tick game to sell this and get the suckers real bad. But, it appears to be in frenzy mode. I can't wait to see what they do. For me, this area is a 'management mode for the long side' area.

Hmmmm, it's acting like the 1-2-tick game might happen. It makes me feel like it's a sucker trap.

Imagine the ultimate sucker trap in that they make it look like a frenzy, make everyone, even me, think the 1-2-tick game won't happen, and then it does! I think they will drop it a little to initiate the game, then goose it up. We'll see.

Crude tick chart just set a new high for the move. ES should follow, I'd think.

By the time I posted that the ES was already at the new high for the move.

You can see why I have such nice levels just overhead...

Okay, 16 level cleared, as expected, now I'm watching the 19 level.

Hmmmm. Hmmmm is my favorite expression today, it seems. Usually it's 'Amazing'. Anyway, the SPY has drifted back down to below the ES closing level. I'm not unhappy at all, just a bit surprised that they can't bounce this even in the aftermarket hours with nothing else trading. Very curious. I hope we see that 60-65 soon, preferably Sunday night, before we get 'the big bounce'. Then down into those 1100's, if I get my way.
