can't really look at volume in the overnights, (except occassionally after DAX opens (3:00am). I depend on it (or reference it) only during RTH. and 15 minutes is the longest time bar I will reference for volume.
Good trading to all, I really have to go and finish the shower basin liner in my...
elovemer,

I was not able to post this earlier due to children related errands. and I will not be able to sit in my trading room today due to house projects, but I ask this of posters and lurkers:

"The good news is that there are ways to determine(trend-day), an hour or so in, what kind of day it is probably going to end up being. For example, if the 9:30 open is a gap from the previous afternoon's close, look out if the gap is...
Jaxon, I agree with you (for whatever that's worth), but now that we have filled the gap from 8/31 (ES 8/30 close was 1460.75), some sort of rebound on shorts covering (taking intraday profits)can unfold.
