This could be feasible... ES drop outpaced EUR drop so EU (and others) buy US market at least till ES 1132-33ish. EUR is blueish line, should/could catch back up and sync in that area. Ahh who knows... not real confident in any of my own worthless predictions.

edit: HOV, SPF traded down over 14% and 11% on high volume too, maybe others just glanced. some housing numbers out tomorrow? hmmmm.

Quote from schizo:

Sure, I'm a permabear at heart but I also know that the market don't give a damn which camp you belong to. Only thing I truly care about is volatility. Let's fess up. For the last year and half, it was painful to trade ES with <10 point range, especially with all the T-day crews and their ilk, no?

Come to think of it, where were the TDAYBOYZ today?

T-day boyz were at the drive-in theater watching Deliverance followed by Pulp Fiction this afternoon.

The eternal bid fluffing all emini tapes sideways to higher on dead-chop drift for 6.75 agonizing hours is now extinct. May they rest in piece(s) with that

I think them boyz were buying when we rallied 70 points in 20 minutes off the low.

Does anyone know what the low of the futures was today? I put a market order on IB and it displayed 1056 on ES. I got filled at 1072 and was incensed. I got out for a nice 12 points but am wondering if 1056 was indeed the low as the low for the S and P 500 was 1065..

Quote from schizo:

Both CL and ES crossed the point of no return today. Unless both markets shoot up significantly tomorrow, the Bull Market that started in March 2009 is now a goner as we know it. It's time to rub elbow with ammo again.

Or was that the 10% correction that made all the weak longs puke and smoked 80% of the shorts before the run to new highs ?

I got filled on 2 lots at 1056.75 and 1057, so it traded at least down to there. Put in a market order too and got filled at 1065 average.

SPX dropped 8% intraday. Many tech stocks dropped 30-40% intraday before buy programs came in.

Great fills... when i saw those prices i put a buy order 1 point above market and then when i didn't get filled, i went for market--- that hesitation to go market initially probably cost me anywhere from 5-10 points on my fill...
