How long do you think these 30+ point ranges will last?

Did we just limit up on ES?

to another?

I've been trading futures (ES & NQ) for six months and am currently breaking even. Max contract size on ES is 2 and NQ is 4.

High amounts of cortisol is toxic to brain cells, so for most career traders, yes.

Thanks for the replies. Same thing happened today. Same profitable pattern began shortly after the ISM number, and I ended up fishing for tops. On my last attempt, I had a keystroke error that had me short thousands of shares of UPS during the rip and I ended 3x past my max. loss for the...

I've been trading for one year and am breaking even. This morning was easy money--a set of patterns that I've witnessed a dozen times. ES opens up and drops to the 1275 area, a critical support from January and March 2008 which was confirmed on Friday. Price bounces off, retraces to the 20...

Right now, I have a list of 20 stocks that I simply compare against the S&P/Nasdaq. I would like to expand the list so that, intraday, I short only the weakest and buy only the strongest.

Ransquawk. XLE was down 50 cents in the pre-market, dropped another $1.20 off the open, then rallied 70 cents during the 10:25 bar. And now NQs are setting new session highs? How?

I tried a 5000V chart for the ES, but don't I then have to observe how fast the bars are forming? I'm also looking at the 5-min, 30-min, and 120-min, so sometimes I miss the print velocity on the equivolume charts.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the input guys.

I thought about doing a pop signal but I'm not sure how in eSignal. Another issue is how to define a pop. Since a volume spike is relative to the past, isn't a hard number misleading?

I'd like to eventually rely on price alone. A completely clean chart with significant levels.

Over the past few months, I've stripped my charts of all studies except for an RSI oscillator and volume. I'm interested in removing the last two, but I don't know how one can do without volume. On the 5-min, a volume spike during a trend signals a high-probability of a retracement. How...

feels like a slow all-day rally will start at noon.

feels like a 2:30 rally

Where is the gap from?

Thanks.
