Question for those of you trading ES price action off the dialy chart.

[ER9]

Just curious... if you see price action enter into consolidation where it looks like theres a favorable outcome for a breakout or breakdown... do you look for heavy volume spikes in lower timeframes to help confirm where trader confidence might be heading?

I never really payed close attention to volume in these circumstances.

watch an es t&s window and watch a 5 minute chart of the nyse tick for the breakout if you want to trade consolidation areas ----

Much appreciated Macro. I was not familiar with tick charts.

watch for the nyse tick for any buy or sell program action that will move price out of consolidation --- this can help at times to pick the direction for you {for intraday trading}.

very interesting stuff. I think this is exactlly what i have been looking for and didnt realize it. Surprising how far the 5 minute tick can lead 5 min ES on breakouts and selloffs.

yes the TICK information can be very beneficial at times.
