You must be a terrible trader with this level of awareness.
Options traders are playing the vol, position traders are considering liquidating/reducing exposure, or taking advantage of a break in the action to get long.
There are resting orders all over the board that could go off if the market moves. There are curbs at 10% that if engaged halt program trading for 15 minutes (can't remember exactly).
There are so many orders at the open that index spread traders are seizing on divergences and liquidity. US equities are being risk arbitraged against all equity markets globally.
HFT arb is live during the cash session. There is HFT action that is completely insane (e.g. bac doing 55m shares daily!)
Sectors are moving, fund managers are adjusting portfolios, and fixed income is moving in and out of equities.
This is a fantastic time to be a trader if you spend some time learning about markets.
If you want to believe baseless crap and think Taleb has all the answers then you are the fool.
Learn how to talk trading instead of talking trash, you may just learn something.
