Scaled off 1/2 at 87.25, let's see now...

 

Shorted at 87. I'm not quite as brave to try for 81, so I'm shooting for 84 as a good cover point, then wait to re-enter long.

COming up for air...Shorted 90.00 after 3 unsuccessful attempts for small losses...covered 3/4 85.50 just before CHVN @ 85.00 holding rest for potential 83.50... CLVN 83.00

Nice job CYP, my stop is 86 on my short as I don't want to give up more than that..

Looks like you could get you 81's here Josh!

 

 

I actually just covered 83.75, as we are getting to "that" time of day, Draghi speaking soon, and heavy volume entered here, plus I have to leave the house in 30 minutes and I'd rather just be flat... but 81 seems quite possible still...

BTW: As far as going long, I don't know if any of you did but CLVN @ 83.00 which has shifted to 82.50 "might" be it for the downside - since all the easy paper has been cleared out IMHO... and the range is pretty strung out...

 

I am not advocating a long here - just if I had the stones I'd look at it...but my style is to let someone else go in first and then after it proves itself go for a continuation trade..

 

Not saying this is the bottom of course...I am clueless... :2c:

I may be a bit off as it gets hard for me to tell around now, but I expect a rotation up to 87s or so before we go much (if at all) lower.

 

It will be interesting to see if a double distribution develops here..it might set up a rotational scalping opportunity in the direction of the RE..not what I do - requires too much focus and this range is not large enough for the risk - just me..

Thanks Josh - got my 84...now, waiting...congrats on your 4 pts.

 

Anyone else seeing a possible surge back up towards 87/88 level before resuming downtrend? It'll be interesting to see if 81 happens?

Edit: Looks like Josh already beat me to the punch in asking about 87/88...slow typer, I am.

Tom,

 

I reversed my position at 84 and looking to get out at 87/88 area...and then see what happens. I lean towards going back down unless Mr Draghi says something super positive... :)

Some strong buying there took us back to IBL and we all but got the vpoc shift to 84.50.

Well hindsight being what it is...86.00 would be my tarhet for a long.. -clueless... reason IBL which is where OTF tipped it...

 

I am watching since other than rotations I "suspect" the low might be in but as Josh says ACH

Took a 1 point long scalp here, 87 hit, now we can go down but 88 might be in the cards as well. I would not be shocked to see 90 either.

 

I will sell 87.75 if it gets there but only for a small target.

Open, vwap, mid all around here. Would be sweet to get a rotation back to 84.50, vpoc shift then test higher.

 

One more push up to 88, to trap just a few more buyers who are pissed that they have not bought because there have not been any retracements? VWAP, Open, 50% all breached means buy buy buy right? :D

Taking another scalp long here at 85.75, for 2 points, then a reverse short at 87.75 -- let's see if Mr. Market agrees or if I close this .... As N said, we may get rotation to 84.50, and then up...

You got stops 88.00 - 89.25 area...

 

Good point about stops Tom ... as I said about 90, I would not be totally shocked to see it before sellers step back in...

 

edit: As I think about this though, after this little retracement, perhaps the shorts moved their stops above 87, and a pop to 88 will wash many of them out?

I would really like to see some more rotation down for a play on the longside potential 90.75 ish as discussed.. I don't like breakouts - too much risk for me..I like rotations... just me... :missy:

I think they are in reach but I'd like to see some downside rotation to get some more late shorts in but structure is friendly to upside right now for those stops... :2c:

      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?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
