IMHO the job report will be a non event

where do you guys see support today, if any at all?

another reason to screw shorts...

trying to keep the market afloat by propping the dow until european close

It seems to be the high for the day. Are we sure about this?

this poll seems manipulated:)

yes, it's a compliment to all the contributors to this thread. I was just saying my comment was not that relevant to what is being discussed in this thread. yes, I trade ES in multiples of 100. Currently short and waiting for Bernanke to be out of the way. We should get some direction after...

To Romik, what I meant is that you can defend a support or resistance but your firing power is not infinite. It felt like defending 1299 was key and you could see some unbelievable bids appearing for less than a second, in excess of 4000 ES sometimes. I believe it's a new tactic in...

in your case, slippage is for sure 0.25 point, but in my example it maybe 0.25 point but not always. You are right, I'm not causing waves with 100 lots, we are just discussing another type of slippage for limit orders (not the specific subject of the poll). Just some members asked me why I...

no, I'm saying that the market maker will cancel his order if the market is trending (on whatever scale) and your limit order will get filled against the trend (if you have a sell limit at 1295.5, market is 1295.25-1295.50 and you get filled, chances are market will move 1295.50 bid - 1295.75...
