be real careful on small IB ranges that form outside of value...ability to trend increases ..FYIW....so fades need great caution today outside that range
1 runner left now...52.75 filled...second aiming for 50...stop at 54.75 now

that 56.25 stop level for my runners was perfect...they went twice to 56 after the lower high at 10:15 and could not break it...sometimes luck has a big role

my actual zone is 48.75 - 49.25 down here....
great hold Nick
Bruce,
based on what you said yesterday about Steenbarger... isn't this a move back into the overnight range and doesn't that mean odds higher for a test of the midpoint of the overnight? = 1341 area.

NickP, great trading.
Both of you guys are way too fast for me.

FWIW, that 50% of the prior week (1357) is often a head bump on the first test, but I would have high degree of confidence to BUY an open (daily RTH) above it because it would be a super bear trap. but if a retracement from an open ABOVE 50% of the prior week drops more than 5 or 6 points, not a good trap.
thanks Paul and Bruce
I would be buying @ 1348.00-1347.75 zone. I have a 2.618 fib level from the top initial move of 1357 and 1353.50. I have confluence with the DS is below the oversold area and the PRC bands are facing down.

paul did the research on this....

i noticed the tag of the lower extension as well, but if i remember correctly, it is during the rth that counts....may be paul can clarify this if he is around
