Got in the game late here, and maybe wrong direction at this point, but shorted 83, looking for 78 ...

 

already at 8.50 range, 9.50 median over 20 days, so perhaps a few more points is wishful thinking nowadays...

I took a long at 82, playing rotation back up. Target 87.50. Currently hovering around 84.

Updated: Out at 87 flat...didn't want to push my luck with 87.50.

for anyone who missed it, 84.75 is the first swing low vwap and midpoint area(and probably something else I missed :))

 

Edit: low vol probably

 

Will be intersting to see how far we rotate and if the sellers come back in...

 

84.50 interesting area as you say.. they should pop that..

Just one thing to note josh- delta

 

I added here at 85, but will bail soon on this... against my better judgement, and should have simply exited around BE when I had the chance and even reversed long.

 

Perhaps I'm trying to outsmart the market here -- at some point, the market will actually have a continuation in the direction it started -- this week has been open drive down, reverse back up... isn't it getting too easy to predict this? sigh..

 

Exited here for -2.5 per contract...

Looking ahead, IF this continues up, we have some excess.

 

WOuld like to see the 86.25 get taken and then see how the Delta is up there.. I am still waiting to add - this 86.25 doesn't look like a top for this rotation, IMHO

N, you talked about squeezing the shorts.

 

Perhaps you could discuss the psychology of such a strategy. I'm curious, who is doing the squeezing, and what is their intention or goal? They want higher prices to re-short? So they buy, buy, buy, create a panic of buying and then they are waiting to offer higher than they are buying on the way up? What if their inventory is so large (long) that they cannot attract enough buyers at the now much higher prices? Maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong.

 

MightyMouse, I know you are into market psychology and this kind of thing; perhaps you can comment as well?

Simply put, when a quick reversal like the one we saw happens and the longs know they have the guys who were selling earlier by the balls and they have a good price, they simply hold. Probably buy more on small rotations, but until all those shorts capitulate, it'll slowly grind it's way up.

That was a bit rude at 91.50's. Kinda like tripping someone over in the street. Pfft. They might fuel another pop yet.

 

Is the market taking a breather at the 90 level before pushing higher or will we repeat yesterday's action? Looks like the low has already been made (for now).

 

This might be a crazy suggestion, but what are your thoughts about finishing the day around the 96/97 level?

 

Anyway, I jumped in long at 90.5 and will look to target 94.5 initially. Will change my mind if we start heading back towards 87/88 level.

Josh: It's kind of where the fuel is... Market was long, screw the longs..market gets short..screw the shorts... It usually goes to where the paper is then it will continue with the trend.. today looks pretty tall in the saddle,...going to be an outside day..a good rejection of the Low so path of least resistance for now is up...

 

This thing hasn't even had a decent rotation yet... all the earmarks of a potential trend day - depending how you define it... :2c:

Yeah maybe. Or even right around the 1399.00's like I said earlier in the day. The RTH open for the week is 97.75 so that could do it too. I think that so long as sellers don't appear from nowhere, the gap is a target for a push higher, along with that RTH open and the balance & week vpoc. who knows, ach

      The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
      What is Power Trades?
      Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
      Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
      Here are a few examples of how it looks like


      How it finds zones?
      There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
      When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
      It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
      The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:

      Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
      Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
      Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
      Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
      Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
      Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
      For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.

      Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.

      So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

      Hi everyone,
      This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
      As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
      - Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
      - Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
      However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
      What do you think?

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
