Never heard of them before. Lets hope someone else provides some color.

Are you talking about Capstone Trading Systems by David Bean?

Its apparent that the pattern I saw today did not work. Doing a post analysis - I think I overlooked ammo's charts. Otherwise, I would have cut my short position around 86. Updating orders Bidding at 83, 84, 85 and 86.

Filled at 87. Bidding @ 81, 82, 83 and 2 at 84.

Good question but I will give you a bad answer. Sorry about that. I have been observing T&S window and market depth from IB data for last 7-9 months or so. I roughly observe these windows for 3 hrs a day - an hour in the morning, an hour before market close and whenever price is close to...

added at 1486. Bidding at 81, 82, 83, 84. Will keep overnight. Will add at 87 if I get it. Will be last add. Will bid for this one at 84.

we are witnessing some selling on orderflow now. Might be a good time for an overnight short till 1478-79. Not taking this short, just writing out what I am seeing.

Added at 1484, now bidding at 80, 81, 82.5

I am bidding 0.25% risk at 88 and other 0.25% risk somewhere below 88, if yen takes out 88 (and especially 87), then 'fade to the parabolic setup' will be over for the time being, as we would have seen a 4% correction.

Thanks for posting.

So, we managed to get one more scale-in (we were quite lucky as bid-ask on my IB account was 90.25-90.255) and my sell order got through. So, 0.5% risk on the trade now.

delayed post: short at 1482 and 1483 very small targets 1481 and 1480 (if i can get that).

Thanks mate!

out at 78 and 79. Now flat. Done for the day. Have a great weekend everyone!

why you worry? Tiny ranges are a hallmark of bull markets. Remember 2005-2006.

Any TA based or quant strategy (other than delta hedging in which case you are trading a model) be it pairs, arbitrage etc. is trading some kind of observed market tendency. You might have a good explanation for such an observed market tendency or might only incompletely understand it. It can be...

I have done way too little research on this topic of options expiration. So, by no means I am an expert. However, I have noticed three things: 1) OpEx days moves are not anything particularly bad or scary or different from other days moves "for ES". This is based on visual observation of...

Above is correct observation. I shorted euro using spot and hedged with options in 2010 and it ran against me 13 big figures over a month. Then I finally closed the trade, lost my ass in that one. I was very new at swing/position trading at that time. But it was not my money and my boss had the...

Regarding the other poster - as I said I could be wrong. Eventually yen might go and touch 100. But at this stage, I don't think it is going to happen without a decent correction. The rationale for scaling in is just money management from a trader's perspective. So, if a trader thinks yen is...
