Here's my observation from the day Raul gave us the seminar. That morning when he made the quick point on ER2, I noticed the market as already moving before the 9:30 bar was printed. When I say moving, the bid and ask was oscillating 1-2 ticks faster than normal (say 1-2 tick moves every 1 or 2 seconds vs. when it takes 2 or more seconds for bid/ask to move). These happen on days with gaps or news from 8:30 was still pouring over and ready to push into the 9:30 bar. Again, this is what I saw that day, I think Raul saw the pace already before I finally got in when the 9:30 happen. I watch the 9:15 bar carefully for pace before anything is committed. Just my observation.

This is also the reason why I asked him to be around so he can explain what we see. Without him to explain the pace, we have to observe it ourselves but better with him since he mastered that strategy already.
