I have no life... I'm starting this topic early because I am sitting around, waiting for Sunday night GLOBEX and my world to begin again...

ES starting to move in the after-cash. It looks like it may, indeed, hit that area of the high at this rate.

How does he seem to 'know' what this thing wants all the time?

It 'wants' that high at 23.00 (basis Sept), 29.50 (basis June), by a tick or two perhaps?

There it is!!! Basis June and Sept. Look at that!!! To the tick on both contracts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, that's a coincidence.

Seriously, that was one of the most amazing reads I have ever done, and one of the most amazing finishes I have ever seen. Note the comments on how I kept thinking it was just going to head-fake. Interesting how right before a move like this, a move I strongly suspected, I couldn't shake the feeling they wanted to trap me. They worked very hard at making me afraid to be long, and I couldn't get away from that feeling. Now I clearly see why they made me feel that way. They wanted everyone like me out before this move. They are very sneaky, very tricky, and in my opinion, very evil.

"It's all about the traps." Quoted from none other than me.

Loopy Jim. I need more sleep. Lots more sleep. I was just sitting, watching the news on TV, pondering my day with the markets, when it hit me I had been off by one cycle in identifying the ES contracts in my posts. I was saying Mar like it was the ending contract and June like it was the upcoming rollover contract, when I meant June and Sept, respectively.

No one called me on it (if you see something like this please post a comment so I can get it straightened out). I'm sure everyone knew what I meant, and the highs I mentioned, with their numbers, would have made it clear which contract I meant, but anyway, I fixed it in the posts where I saw it. I think I got them all, but if not, feel free to point it out to me.

When I was much (much) younger I was into motocross racing. Like all the major endeavors in my life, I do things 110% or not at all. I had a T-shirt back then that I still remember word for word what it said: We eat, sleep, ride, talk, breathe, dream, live and love motorcycles. I need a new shirt now that says: We eat, sleep, ride, talk, breathe, dream, live and love the markets. The 'ride' part is especially apropos. I thought of this because before I remembered my Faux Pas with the contract dates I was going to post:

Like I mentioned last week, I have no life outside the markets. Here I sit, on a Friday night, my better half sitting there probably wishing I'd come up with something for her and I to do, and all I can think about is how am I going to make it to Sunday at 3 PM?...
