Quote from hypostomus:
For example, it is now 12:25 ET. NQ has been in a 2-3 tick consolidation for 15 minutes. Precisely when everybody says "Nothing's happening, I can go take a piss", over 1000 block market orders will smash the consolidation (probably down, but I'm not betting). My E-Signal codes have me locked out of trading. The only place I can go until it unlocks is ET. Everybody THINKS the BO will occur on the half hour. If it does, it will be phony. At least five minutes more of agony must be suffered.
