Not trading today ...

I guess holding SP cash up at 900 by close may be necessary for some exotic options that expire on month and year end.

Just my wild guess! :)
 
Quote from smilingsynic:

For the ES, I set it to 405 for the 1 minute (basically, because of 405 minutes in the trading day). If one used 3 minute bars, then set it to 135 (405/3).

Thanks! Makes sense now
 
got wacked in last half hour of monday trying to short,not shorting this today,but should get to 903,could go higher ,needs to break 96,1st hour high,to get any kind of selloff,firms have no resistance to upside for window dressing ,big money has a vested interest in marking this close as high as they can
 
Quote from ammo:

bullish indicator,compare this with spu turns and we are due for a big selloff,this is just wndow dressing for end of month

Thank you, but in general only above 70% is considered over bought, and a 6% reversal from there would indicate a top is in.
 
for those using volume charts, if I'm not wrong, vwap should be closing price of the bar exactly in the middle of the chart, given that chart starts at beginning of the trading day.
 
That one there was way to obvious. Push up and reversal on high volume and a close on its low on the 1mn followed by a lower low made on low volume.

It pay$ to pay attention to detail!

Sold half my position a few minutes ago at 914.25 which was purchased at 859.5. Total profit so far is 131 points. Stop moved to 839. Sooner or later I will be stopped out. Will look to buy around 875. +54

Just sold all my position at 912.75. I am flat and want to get long. After going over my indicators I pay attention to we are overbought and gettting more overbought. Usually we have a pullback after the S&P has moved 3% or more on a FOMC announcement. I'm looking to buy back at around 877 and 868.5. If I wrong I will blame my stupidty on Pekelo. +53.25

Sold my remaining contracts at 896.25 (+22.25) and I'm now flat. Total profit 206.25. Nice way to end the year.

Quote from HooLee:

Longs may set target to 905 for today. To keep the short term uptrend going, retracement in coming days should not take out 850.

For some reason I start to see this 905 close. If we're not making any lower low that 895 print was a sweet retracement.
