Question: why is "market" trying to put in a bottom after hours when volume is thin? Stocks sell off right into close, then some BS news come out (not news by that time) and futures go all green on thin volume. Is this not manipulative in nature? Is the West following the Chinese way in a democratic approach (cough cough) of trying to disallow selling stocks?
Not sure I understand the point here. I wonder if this level is the line in the sand where institutions feel the market is priced fairly. It always seems that the more times a level is approached and not breached, the stronger it becomes.---don"t know

If that is so, then why not buy the zone during market hours? Why elevate the bid substantially when stock market is closed? That is the point.

Ok-- I don't know. I think a case can be made thouhg that at least for the time being, the selling had dried up and short covering had begun on that last 5 minute bar at the close.

Stocks declined right into the close Izzy, then when NYSE closed futures took off in a big way, did you see those bids leaping upwards like there is no tomorrow? I don't buy that, I know it's all green right now, but it just seems fake to me. Proper directional turns happen during RTH as far as I know, maybe I am mistaken.
 
--Day trade long 4373.00 Initial stop 4323.00
This trade was taken Tues and I held it overnight converting it to a position trade. You may recall that this was the experimental traded in using day trade entry and outraday stop. In any event, I still hold this one and will monitor today. Price is currently 4398.25 35 minutes before RTH open.
