Given all this "work" I've been doing here, I'll set my sights a little lower towards 74, in the event of a nice selloff. This is Friday's low, where it left off before the Sunday selloff (well, Sunday here in the US). It is one of my pre-market areas of interest, and so I'll stick with that, at least for now.
-
Gut says new lows unlikely before fomc, so I scaled the 83 off at 81.75, gives me a little more room on my base short. 77 still a target.
-
I added one short here at 83, vpoc and vwap.
-
Still short, but scaled another at 82.25 ... it broke to 81.50, unfair LVN, and traded back above 82, which it really should not do. Could be a fake, but I took the scale. Market acting a bit funny, maybe because it's "da fed" day. As it stands, I'll probably be flat at 77 if it makes it that far.
-
Quite a battle we have over 82.75 right now... If I may ask, did you get short btw?
-
Change of plans, I will be out at near BE on the rest at 85.25, if it decides to go there, and will re-enter short if the opportunity is right.
-
Added one back short here at 84.50 ... the market does not look very strong IMO Looking to scale at 80.50 still, and then 77.50, and will still have a unit in case FOMC surprises to the downside. On the other side of the coin, I will be out if it decides to make new highs.
-
I did take a scale here at 82.75 at vpoc...
-
I should note that 83s is an expected area to buy here, but given the way it's come back fairly quickly and without much effort on 2nd push to highs, it may very well be that we've seen the HOD, and only down from here, depending of course on FOMC.
-
Bingo, did not get my fill at 86 but got 85.50 when it came back up. Looking for 80.50, hoping for 77, praying for 72.25
-
Out for a 2 handle loss, not a good way to start :/
-
Working a short off of 82.50, looking for 80.50 and 77.25
-
Let's see if any of these shaded areas come into play today.
-
lol sorry Tom -- go to your "UserCP", then on the left see "Contacts and Friends" ... I sent you a friend request and it says you have not accepted (that's my understanding on what I see anyway) .. just messing with you buddy. And yes we miss you dude. But glad you're still here now and again at least. I may also reduce my frequency a bit.
-
yeehaw! got it my 75s!
-
Last time, I think they reported right at 4:30pm ET.
-
We just hit 1M in volume for the RTH session... :missy:
-
I could be just talking out of my bias and could be dead wrong, but that failure below yday's high and today's open, the volume support there, and the movement since, and the picture from yesterday up into today, smells like a very nice move up to mid 70s.
-
I am hoping that all the downward pressure on AAPL today was simply to get more buyers in, so that a nice earnings surprise can push it back up to the 600s. We will know in a couple of hours. I can't imagine attention is on too much else in the market at this point. It looks like apple violated a patent, so that's not good, but will be small potatoes if the report is good.
-
As I am generally trying to trade with the flow instead of against it these days, given the open and strength, I decided to be with the buyers (unfortunately, the buyers got the hell out of Dodge around high noon). However, a look at this chart I posted yesterday: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/e-mini-futures-trading-laboratory/9773-day-trading-e-mini-futures-186.html#post147698 Shows the yellow band ranging from 69 to 71 as an area of interest to look for a market reaction. "Normally" (I use that loosely), I would be looking to short, given the struggle the market had in making new highs, and given the significance of the area in the profile. Yet, I insisted on buying, due to the early strength, and now am underwater by a few points. Even if it still goes up, it's a bad trade and not the original idea.
-
We are at 80% relative volume so far.. ugh
-
We have cookouts once a month, each rotating turns for who cooks the food, cleans up, and organizes games for the group. Last month was ultimate frisbee, and it was awesome. N wanted to play bingo the month before and I didn't like that so much. :rofl:
-
It means I want to be your friend. I am "friends" on TL with several great people, many on this thread, although Tom has apparently snubbed me so far. I was inviting you to be my friend.
-
I added here at 67. This (or maybe a bit lower) is actually the best buy opportunity so far. I think there's a slightly greater than a snowball's chance in hell that 71.25 is not touched again, but we will see.
-
Good luck Tom, I am also long from 68.75, and will scale 1/3 at the high, and if we can get some volume, will look for 74. I expect a retest of 71 either way, but we really will need some more buying pressure up here to break through. The way it's slowed to a crawl, 71 might be hard to get given that everyone just fell asleep
