    How predictive is volume to index futures?

    You use volume in the same way for some things. The best example is the PM breakout around settlement. Commodities serve as "protection" or "insurance" in several applications. That establishes a lot of the float. I mentioned previously and in another thread how the confluence of...

    Acrary is a genius!

    For example means just that for the case of looking at the market's capacitiy at a moment in time. The moment was when the capacity showing was 500 contract level. When it is 500 contracts, it is still possible to trade 2500 contracts at that moment was the point I was making. It was...

    Simple ES scalping strategy?

    I looked at both the template writeup and your comments. You made a few assumptions when applying the template; your assumptions apparently overrode the template for you to get the conclusion you drew. On the otherhand, every day begins with the trader's fisrt trade. This may be why...

    I look at this as the beginning the sixth year of expenditures on a war. Two things are apparent: 1. This is about half of the term of a child's scholastic education, and 2. The amount of money sunk in the war through its financing represents replacing every brick in the entire system...
