    Thats a mighty big gap to fill from here don't you think? although this study makes a valid point - http://quantifiableedges.blogspot.com/2008/01/large-gaps-lower-in-uptrends-vs.html

    I think today is a hard one to call. I would normally think "gap and grind", but ES bottomed around some good support. So I don't have a huge bias, but if I have a mild one, its definitely short (until the MACD histo tells me otherwise)

    I'd really love to see this theory backtested. It should be simple right? Buy on Tuesdays and Thursdays at open and sell at close. Anything over 65% profitable trades and I'd be impressed and there would be a quantifiable edge there. I'm going to get this done.

    Short 1979.75 stop 1981... target 1974.50 from that zone, longs will look attractive. :edit: I thought it was going for a second there too....stopped out

    OUT 1976.75... i don't like those fakeout breakouts down.... they're just enough to trigger longs and breakout traders stops then reverse it quick.

    Short NQ 1984.75 stop 1987.25... target 1974 or lower 10 and 15-min histo's are rolling over and if highs are held that signals pullback. volume confirmation on both indexes is good, but I'm not super confident in the trade... good R/R though. :edit: stop raised to 1979.00... if this...

    I'd love to grab a long to hold for a large target (~10-15 points) if we can make one more low around 1970-1974 on NQ. :edit: Setup blown...

    I like how you're laying down the law B1S2 :D In this global market, nobody here is gunning for your lots.... posting stops makes no difference

    Nah, I pick top-ticks and bottom-ticks and have tiny stops, thats what I do and it works more than it doesn't (otherwise I wouldn't continue doing it). If you wait for "a clear end" you already missed a good entry and now your stop needs to be 3 times as big. I don't regret either of the...

    JSS, wouldn't a centerline cross on the Dow be expected since price has dropped so much? I don't see that as bearish (at least on the chart you posted) since the downward move that accompanies a "histo bump rollover and cross" has already taken place. I don't perceive it as bullish either, I...

    MB Trading Charges For ECBOT CME Mini

    When I first got the email I thought it was pretty lame too, especially since I hadn't heard of any fee increases with other brokers. I was gonna cancel my account and go elsewhere out of principle but then they told me that you get refunded $1 of that fee for every trade you make. This makes...

    I'm taking the low hanging fruit here since a retrace is probable. Out at 1965.50. Today has been one hell of a day for me... started the day with a trade I didn't get a hardstop in on time going against me and being down 6 points quick. Dug myself a further hole out of frustration... then...

    Not this one.... powerful if the lows hold... we go much higher (high 40's minimum). The capitulation volume is there to support the pattern as well. FWIW I'm long but I didn't post it here so disregard it
