Quote from riverstopper:

He, who stops the flow of rivers, will not bear witness against himself. In other words, he takes the fifth.

No need to ...

From my experience, even if you explain and disclose everything, only those who pay attention and most importantly, willing to listen with an open mind, would follow the path.

=P

Quote from saliva:

My good sir, I was not stopped out but rather forcibly dragged my ass out (out of sheer boredom). Having said that, I think my short entry was pretty good but the timing was obviously off. Man do I miss the good ol' days when the market would drop after hitting the damn HOD. Now it just mucks around like a doting idiot.

Volatility is like a rubber band.

The contraction period is about to be over.

Quote from wave:

Still here waiting for 1118. I stop myself out at 1136.50.

Can only do this after close as I need to replay the tick data for the analysis.

Tick data confirms selling flooded in at today's high.

The sell zone is confirmed ... not the best kind I like that sell off 10 to 15 pts once tagged. =)

Good luck.

I think you and I might be smoking the same weed and it ain't "Made in USA", that's for sure. Now let's see who can piss the farthest in that river of yours.

He, who stops the flow of rivers, is puzzled by your statement. Why do you need to see the selling twice (in replay???) to see something or other?

I do not usually hold overnight positions.

The daily or higher timeframe analysis, including many breadth studies I use, are done after market close.

Thus, I did not see the turn on all the components in real-time, I only saw the indices, and their futures, during RTH showing the behaviour.

I am careful when I am looking into holding longer term positions. =)

I am puzzled too because ES should have broken down yesterday with NQ.

That did not happen.

So if we are getting a selling off, it needs to be the runaway type for it to mean any sense.

That should be enough to completely confuse anyone that had an interest in tracking Mokele Mbembe.

Ok, I'm not sure that it's puzzling...if institutions, for whatever reason, didn't want the big selloff to happen yesterday, the most effective intervention tool is the es, isn't it?

Why does a breakdown now need to be a runaway type of it's going to happen?

Am I not understanding something here?
