your are pusing me to be precise, skeptical and thinking on my own - it get that :) the only way to learn lets be precise, I learned it - or at least I can follow that concept - as you said, no way to tell other people what they should think or not

very much appreciated - thank you

when I write down "agreed" it means for me that I agree with the conclusions as they sound coherent to me: Agreed on plebs at the options market (first account I blew up 20 years ago =) market maker has to cover his ass, while he is obliged to write options he can't by an option for...

okay, before running around like a squirrel under the Christmas Tree and start making assumptions and jumping to conclusions I start with describing: 1M chart ES Mini Future, 7 to 8 Dec Volume on the x axis 3 lines upper line und lower line mark the extremes of the period middle line - no...

Not the easiest thing, so I'll try to make the best out of it: in regard to the last paragraph, the most important thing is, to have appetite and interest [in learning] - lets say fun or devotion - otherwise, he states, there will only be a bunch of book-laded asses [pupils]

Well, I have to write that down - when coming to books tipps ;) I (really proud of myself) read it and can recommend it: The Divine Comedy by Dante (1320) Warp up: Man travels through hell to find his (dead) girlfriend - think it pretty much sums it up - the journey while trying to be a...

I looked it up: Montaigne was an early and important french contributor to the enlightment age. 1580 refers to "The Essais", the main work of Montaigne, covering 107 different themes. As I got the gut feeling that the whole of it is worth reading, is their any specific essaie you can...

so much information and food for thought - can't reply in an instant

the change

Is there a question? Don't want to miss it :) I am listening carefully ...

If have no clue if + 60,000 contracts of OI is only a slight increase or a high increase. Lets assume it is a slight increase, but volume is running high. I would assume, that market participants don't trust the current price level and therefore close their positions again at the same day.

here is my answer. My source is CME website, unfortunately the data of 30.11. wasn't available anymore - but i "guess" the percentage on that day (30.11.) was lower than the following day (01.12.)
