Apex82,
earlier in the session you said you were looking to short ES

"...looking to get short 1546.25 with a 3 tick stop on a bounce to retest the lows and move lower..."

Is that still the case or have other conditions unfolded, I ask because your comment about the YM are bullish
More...

ya.. the trade would have been much better earlier in the day which I wanted. Gotta follow the plan though...
 
Quote from apex82:

I get filled on any other future market on the extreme tick all the time... never on the ES. There is some stuff going on with the es....

Well, I have never noticed a fill to buy when my price has any size on the bid. I have had a fill when the volume on the bid is exhausted though, and the lower price never gets hit with a sell. This might happen more often on lower volume contracts.
 
LOL, I'm Short also (1544.50), but yesterday's lows are showing support and the internals are looking pretty bullish.

I might have to eat this baby.

Quote from TraderRobb:

Why not buy at 1540.75? greed, lol
More...

it`s more discipline than greed being that the trader could be working off of a strict 3 tick stop where every tick matters....& staying in compliance with their R/R parameters....especially in that situaution where his limit was set to buy in a falling market at that point in time.i don`t believe in chasing the market even for a tick in a situation like that.

there are definitely games being played on extreme ticks these days....although it should be on a first come first serve basis,i`m not so sure it is.the bots just always seem to be lined up ahead of everyone else & if price trades thru your limit,it seems we can expect it to go a few ticks further.
