The summer pattern is starting to take place, ramp ups in the futures at the 2am CST. Same thing over and over. If the markets close lower during the day session there's a 87% chance it will rise overnight. So easy making free money.

Well, the key is to figure out when that pattern stops working...all it took was one Aug 24th to erase a few years of overnight manipulated gains.

Some posters here are still emotionally invested in their failed shorting ideas from 2009-2014 and can't let it go. They want payback for missing all or most of the rise. In reality, whatever happens in 2016 forward does not involve 2009-2014 at all. Blaming the Fed helps them try to invalidate the bull market and thus avoid acknowledging their mistakes. It's delusional thinking but it runs deep. Truly successful investing and trading requires clean slate thinking and an ability to change ideas when reality tells you they are flawed or no longer valid.

And you ain't? Are you a bull or a bear? What's your stance at this juncture? Nice to hear before a move takes place in 2016.

Good question.

There is no point to being a "bull" or "bear" in an uncertain market. So neither.
From 2010-2013, I was pretty clearly a bull on equity markets. I see today's markets as being less about overall indexes and more about stock selection and possibly looking at depressed sectors for value ( for example, Canadian mining stocks got decimated last year ). My recent research on US stocks is quite limited, because when the $CDN tanked just that aspect alone made US investments less appealing in 2015.

2am CST is 8am in London when the UK markets opens..might explains why things start going at 2am CST.

And I try to trade that time slot most nights...Some of the best trading right at the UK open...Much cleaner than RTH trading hours.
