This happened on friday the very first day the ag products started trading in July. eCBOT seems to go down on friday with Ag products being the cause. It's weird because I got a newsletter last night on what to do if eCBOT goes down. Luckily I was done trading after the first 45min. Good luck ya'll.

Are you trying to tell me hedge funds and IB's pull or put in money at these key time points and that is what we are seeing done behind the seens? Here's is a great article from LBR, she talks about time point reversals, not sure how old the article is, but I think its relevance has stood...

Besides the 10:30 reversal period, which I see occuring more on range days, I also notice 3pm as a reversal period on trend days. My hypothesis is that automated trading programs close out positions at this time period when profitable and the price is below or above the VWAP.(many automated...

Its good that you review your trades RD. I do the same and review all my entries and exits on the charts. Nice P/L. I personally am trying to focus on no more then 5 RT per day, 3 in the am and 2 in the pm. I got to give you props if you can kick butt trading ER2 off of IB charts. I stopped the...

You are totally right OldTrader. Locals mainly scalp off paper and they probably don't even care about MP. Locals are the ones you hear trading back and forth during the dull drums and the ones scalping off paper when paper comes in. I don't trade listening to the squak box, I tried it out and...

I asked the same question to Dr. Steenbarger in his blog. He mentioned instituitions finishing trading and locals entering trading. I was thinking along the lines of overseas markets closing. I have to agree with brett that locals entering to trade would be a good reason. I'm not sure what...

NQ looks the strongest, last week some shorts covered and the bulls are a bit stronger. I notice an inverse realtionship between SOX and OIH the past few days. Once OIH bounces back, that could be the rally catlyst for ES to catch up quickly.

I use duke nukem's voice on my simulator which is funny. On my real account I made my own sound alerts which I use to alert me of tick extremes, block trades, crossovers, and trendline breaks. If you want the link for the duke nukem sound bites PM me.

I read brett's blog everyday, just bought the new book, so look forward to a review. Psychology in trading is the biggest factor, and the articles and posts Brett provides are a great offering to the trading world. I look forward to more analysis on option trading and the relationship to...
