Quote from Spectre2007:

irrespective, retail sales offers a discount for MM's to run some stops first, gap it down first then immediately up for the rest of the day. The basis for the trade is that the FED creates instability on the short side of the trade more so then the long side.

the theme of weakness will be pervasive, so the objective becomes how far down will they gap it first.

Agree the market really can bang around. That's why I put some orders in overnight (Dec ES). Tonight I placed a buy order in the mid 1460s and a sell order in the 1510 range (since I ll be asleep being on the west coast). These numbers seem far fetched to me, but I ve had them hit in the past and been very happy so far.

Does anyone know what happened to apex82? Did he blow himself out of the market?

I'm sure he didn't blow himself out. But if you analyze posts, you will have your answer. Groups of posters seem to coincide in style and frequency and file attachments.

MBusch tracked him down.

Never short a dull market.

I don't see why not personally, some days that offer nothing but extremely low vola throughout the day ended up being a start to a big decline in late afternoon. On the other hand I know why you said that you being a fader trader you need vola, ImO patience sometimes pays off handsomely.
 
Quote from Pekelo:

I know. My expectation is a 3-5 pts up from here overnight, then returning to the same level by 9 am tomorrow...

Topping at 1484 (from 1479)at 2:20 am the Sept ES fell back to 1479 right now.

Thanks for playing... :)

Oh yes, today will close in the red...
 
ESZ07 would fill gap with print of 1486.50 (4:00 close Wed,9/12),

but does anyone have thoughts about AH gap closes, I mean, obviously, the gap was only formed by looking at RTH, can it only legitimately be filled in RTH? ( I would assume so, but regardless, AH prints within 3 tics of that level might sponsor short covering.

Any observations about gaps? RTH creates, do they have any potential during the AH?
