While it's not looking good, we still have an overnight gap above at 1215.50 CSCO volume is brutal, though, and if euro closes below 1.3700 that should beget more losses.

Correlation between block orders and the S&P

I was going to, on account of the vacation, but took a look at the platform while doing something else and realized that volume and volatility look normal, so now I'm trying to catch up (determining my buy/sell levels, etc.) :(

You don't understand how margin works in futures, which is basic, and yet you want to be trading with 18 cars, on a $25,000 account. You're not accounting for commissions or slippage, but you want to be scalping for 2 cents? Going out on a limb and assuming (sigh) that you're not a troll...

Morning everyone. Could someone confirm that volume is normal today (not affected by today's holiday)? I was expecting less volume and volatility. Thanks.

You forgot to mention "with just one car" :D :p

But isn't that the proprietary desk that they have to get rid of?

Yesterday's inflection point was the Treasury auction, it seems we're getting some more action today as well.

Also, Dems and Reps try to play chicken with each other and Congress doesn't increase the debt ceiling --> US technically defaults --> All hell breaks loose. Edit: remember when in 2008 they put the TARP to a vote and as they were counting the votes in C-SPAN the Dow fell 700(?) points in a...

Mother fuckers! http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/economic-calendar/ They had the time wrong! :mad:

Nice! :) I don't think ICF is stupid, he's probably a young man with little experience in the markets. Cut him some slack, he'll learn - whether by careful observation and research or by hard experience.

Looks like FX running the show. Metals are taking a serious beating (Silver down >6%) after CME raised margin requirements for silver.

Don't take it the wrong way, Airwaves, I'm your biggest fan and it was me who coined the cry "Go, Airwaves, go!" :D And I don't think Ammo is interested in a pissing contest with anyone, I'm just saying that either you make some adjustment to your trading plan (because you have a plan...

First, no offense to you intended, we're just trying to help you (at least most of us). You didn't watch Airwaves take some serious heat on a mild correction a while ago. You didn't watch other people like Airwaves buying every dip from 1500 to 700. As far as I know - and I could be wrong...
