avarus,
I'd be interested in absolutely anything you have to say about gaps.
I pay attention to them, but other than knowing where they are on the chart, why they fill and the significance of the prices you mentioned are just mysteries of the universe to me.

I have paid attention to observations from Pekelo that odds are high that when a gap in one direction (unfilled during the course of the trading day) is followed by another gap, that the second gap has high odds of filling, but other than that, the when and the why of filling is still a mystery to me.

Can you shed any light?
Can you explain the signficance of the price levels you mentioned?

here is a link to an article on position size. make sure you are adjusting your trading plan to the increased volatility, when in doubt trade small. Taking a small long here with a 10 point stop.

outside failed range expansions in bonds, usd pairs..

dollar strength, plus oil market is running stops before the Turkey tensions start increasing again.

you could argue the the spooz has a failed range expansion to the downside too.

I find it interesting when all the commodities and the market is down. Where is all that money hiding?

it piled back into USD, the usd bear trade is a crowded trade. Risks increase as the election cycle nears.
