the bet is that a plan gets worked out, ....see a spike to 1260 with the vix dropping and consolidating, one more push up before the non farm payrolls next week...

the problem is the shorts in this climate can take it down as much as they want to, the point arises when your firm gets investigated for price manipulation and similar tactics used by the FEDS aginst those who speculate against US companies.

the rubberband can be stretched on the pessimistic side as much as the system will allow. But right now the system is being stacked against pessimism.

Hate to see a well respected and very knowledgable member leave the board, but family is family and I understand your reasoning.

From AHG1, to the chat rooms (However small amount of time I got to watch) I always learned something from your posts and from other AHG subscribers. Your threads would bring out the best from ET to share ideas and grow.

Thanks Anek for everything you've contributed. You will be missed!

Since you are looking at the 15min. Check out the Stochastic Oscillator. I find that it does help my entries. (5,3,3)

Cool thanks! I guess I can use it as confirmation.

The ES has either lost its premium and/or is weighting down on the other indicators. On the 15Min chart it definitely wants to go down, but on the 60Min the MACD is about to go positive (about but not yet...), which is the opposite situation of what I was facing before entering.

Surprised that the NQ is outperforming the ES with the RIMM news and all.

I never look at the MACD on the 60H. I only use the stoch. I do not look for a cross I read the bar values. If I see that the bar values are in the 80 range I keep an eye out for weakness in the 5min chart formations. We also have GDP at 8:30am as well as 10:00 u of Mich.
 
mkt is now flat with bearish overtones. ES will be very sensitive today to ANY news. I'm surprised to see how Globex is still manipulated on news. a 20 pt jump in seconds was understandible back in 1999 & 2000 when volume in Globex was begining to pick up and they had to work out the kinks. I remember back then when people were complaining and threatening abritration because they got hurt when false rumors would come out and run the mkt. supposidly these errors have been worked out. i don't see any evidence of that.
