Quote from MONACO11:

Forgive me for asking,

What do you define as "mean"...

"I like it much better-- It allows for more relaxation and other life quality. It does generally require a larger stop in my view or no stop if played conservatively enough. One thing about ES--It almost always returns to the mean."

Thanks

--That it very rarely takes off in one direction without returning and giving traders a chance to get back in, cover , etc.
 
With the exception of last night, yes.

I have demonstrated this on several occasions.

Look at the 15min charts. At 3am EST it spikes,
and then sells off...

I still have stops in place, and sells too...I have
netted nicely from this theory.

It takes getting up at 2:45 however...which I am not
with issue, I dont sleep well anyhow...

Let me qualify this:

On large selloffs like today, I buy the ES at the close, as
near to the low asi I can.

If it goes lower I know they do not have clearance to
take it much lower, so I add a few more.

Then I wait...

Typically, as I have found...at 3am EST when the
Euro markets open, they buy it up and sell it off..


Perhaps B1S2, can you provide a intrady chart overnight
showing this pheonom?

Thanks

Whom you are driving should not be an issue.

If you are driving a car, this is different...LOL

At any rate, either is understood.

Look forward to your reply.

Yes its so much more relaxing you are quite correct. Also the commissions are much less which is also a plus. I use no stops because I also believe in the mean reversion action of the ES.
