(dashed line is prior settlement ... )

Sorry, misunderstood. Lots of 1-5 tick ETH open down gaps that filled inside the 1st 5-min to 1hr (of ETH) in mid-late August. It depends how strictly you want to define your gap. The one you might be looking for is 8/12-8/13 ... ETH opened gap down -2.25, got to -5.75 max then filled @...

8/30 was an unfilled gap down. 9/4 was a slight gap down that filled, as was 9/5. Edit: again, strictly talking ES here, from 4:15 close into next day RTH.

... which is why I mentioned my rules were different. :) It's interesting that Friday Nasdaq was actually red, Dow (and YM) filled in RTH, but SPY only filled in pre and not in RTH. Do you consider SPY gap closed when it spikes through on NFP but never touches in RTH?

Thursday RTH left an unfilled gap up from Wednesday's close, and Friday did the same (from Thursday's close). Those 2 consecutive same-direction unfilled gaps are fairly rare, and a 3rd is obviously rarer still. All it means is the likelihood of a gap fill tomorrow is very good if there's a 3rd...

2-day old gap @ 31.00. If we get above 38 the 3rd day gap comes into play.

Maybe to pick up the 70-80 ticks that followed to the downside? :p But I get what you're saying. I've noticed though that when everyone's looking at the same level, like that 96.59, and price gets there in a "jump" move (IOW, not probing and teasing at the level first) that often means the...

After a 21-pt range day obviously there's to be some contraction. But personally I can't do much with a 4 pt range, not having a clue in advance that it'd be THAT small (and not having the name "Handle123"). And I did have a short @ 37.50, but only for a scalp. I mean we haven't traded outside...

If your gig is fading 13 levels, you could have pretty much faded any bar close today and made money. :) 18 ticks wide in RTH today so far. Hopefully this'll be the last "summer Friday" for awhile.

Semantics maybe? I agree with you fwiw, but I think he's suggesting the gap that's setting up for the open can be traded in pre-mkt. On another note, our old friend the failed triangle break has made its triumphant return today ... twice. :cool:

stocks = market risk bonds = market risk gold = market risk home equity = market risk cash = spending risk (when has cash in pocket ever NOT been spent eventually?) bank deposits = few risks (as long as within FDIC limits, and FDIC stays solvent), except: 1) inflation, 2) hacker theft, ...

Triangle setting up (HL and LH). I'm guessing the first break will fail, but if not, should be a 2nd chance entry on the retrace.

Right on.

Lately the day PA feels like night to me. Not so much in CL but ES for sure, after about the 1st 90min.

Also on the main TWS page the (left-click to-) dropdown to change an order value seems to take forever to appear, slowing down manual execution of trades almost prohibitively.

Don't know whether this is an issue related to the data problems mentioned above, but charts are not consistently updating in real time. Lots of dropped ticks, bars missing ... kind of a mess.

Hmm, thought I posted a reply earlier ... don't know where it went. Anyway, thanks NoD, yes that one is in the arsenal. I think we talked about one of those last week (an early LOD that was put in off one of those signals, if I recall). I haven't yet thought of a way to objectively define...

I may have to consider that option. :cool:

:) You need to give me a key to that ATM machine you're running over there is what you need to do. :D
