1345.75 After that 1353.50

 

R

 

For RTH targets I have 43.50 followed by 47.00. 45.50 is there but I'm not especially interested in it. Above that I have 49.50 ish, 53/53.75 then 58/59.25. Have to see what plays out if it goes higher.

I just noticed a possible problem @1295.75 so am redownloading data. Hopefully it'll finish b4 the open and I'll be able to repost the screenshot.

 

Doesn't look like I'm going to get the data in time. The levels I mentioned are the ones I am interested in though.

Seems good to me. Thanks.

 

I did get the data but with the same result. At 95.75 there's a volume spike out of keeping with such a large amount of data. That kind of thing indicates to me that there may be a data issue, so will need to check after market close.

1357.50 is both a NVPOC and a gap from May 7th

 

Expect price to get at least that far.

 

Market participants who were shorting the 53's now stopping the market higher.

 

Thank you.

That was using the "M" contract right? So what premium did you use to adjust the level?

 

I can't remember what the premium was for definite but it might of been 6.25 or something from memory. Don't quote me on that though. I'm just using dtn's continuous contract @ES# so it does the adjustment automatically.

I carry the levels over from the prior contract and adjust manually... using the difference on the day. And I note that these levels are "adjusted" so anywhere within 2 or 3 ticks to me is enough to mark it tested.

I was quite patient and ended up buying the test of the lows which for me was a retrace to the prior area of aggressive buyers. This was a great long and setup for me on both the EC and the ES. Time of the entries long was around 15:24 EDT Es went for almost 10 points and the EC went farther. I didn't get it all but got most as it really went positive quickly making it easy to trail my stop and watch the price go higher.

 

I realized that the initial push was likely to come back to test the lows but for some reasons I just didn't get short. But the wait was worth it. The BUY ZONE area on the ES I had marked was from 42.25 to 40.25 and was established on the rally at 12:41PM EDT.

 

The risk-reward on this setup was over 5:1

Yesterday was a neutral day and neutrals often follow neutrals. What I will be watching for today is whether or not we end up showing signs of accepting the highlighted development as value and therefore trade it accordingly. If we don't rest/balance, then depending on which direction we're moving and with how much vigor, I'll have to assess how far I think we'll go.

What a drop yesterday huh? Clearly that upper area was not accepted as value at all!! Lol. I hope everyone did well. Anyway, no numbers today at all. Possible resting day after a big move like that but daily ranges are still big so don't expect a sub-10 point range at all. Let the market tell you what it wants to do not the other way around. Good luck.

Today is working as expected .. which is to say a rangebound market which is not expected to be like the prior day. Fade the extremes today has worked well for me. Short off the open and still somewhat short biased as I think a day like today is controlled by daytraders who are always looking for a gap fill. So I still expect us to sell off to the 1318 area and I am continuing my short bias until then. I have taken a long and been stopped once on it but hen got a nice bounce at 10:45 EDT which was a retrace to a BUY ZONE from 7:45 EDT and also an upsloping trendline. But we can't seem to get through the OSL.

 

Speaking of bias, I have marked on my chart that we continue to make Higher High and Higher Lows so my short bias is counter the trend right now. We'll see what happens.

 

Update: If we get above 1325.50 on a 5min close then i will forgedaboud the gap fill.

Well we pretty much did rest on Friday with a break slightly higher later in the day. Overnight we have had a lower bias so far and the overnight vpoc so far is right at the 17.50 low from Thursday. That could be a decent place to start today. Above it and we'll be looking to test at the very least, Friday's low 1320.50 and then close the gap to 1325.75. Below and I'd think 1315.00, 1313.25, 1308.50/07.25 will be on the cards with the high volume at 1298.25 certainly well within reach.

 

Overnight we've had Spain officially asking for aid for its banks, Egypt get a new leader and Syria sail close to the wind with Turkey. Euro is again moving lower as is crude. There's an EU summit later in the week, 4th July holiday next then NFP's closely after. We have New Home Sales at 10am today.

 

My guess is that given the amount of news flow and proximity to the holiday, there could be some decent movement this week but squaring up into next. Gotta see what happens and take each trade as it comes. Here's a chart:-

      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?
