Discussion re: Tuesday June 12, 2007

Recommended Posts

Market appears to have put in a corrective move up over last 2 days after making new momentum lows on Thursday on the 120-minute timeframe. There was a trending (skinny) market profile that began on Friday afternoon and continued into Monday.

 

The 'up-auction' tired yesterday as NYSE volume was lightest since May 25th and the profile became 'fat' near 1528.00 for S&P's and 1935.00 for NQ.

 

Combining Friday afternoon with all of monday, the Profile has formed a 'P' distribution. A stem of the 'P' indicates short covering AND new buying. The belly of the P indicates that some responsive selling came in at the higher price level. A 'P' is not bearish though by itself, just indicative that buyers and sellers came into balance for a period near 1528.00 -- ending the short-term up-auction that began friday afternoon.

 

Momentum tends to precede price which would imply we will go below Thursdays low at some point due to the 120-min momentum lows put in on Thursday. This may or may not happen but it is important to be cognizant of the various buy/sell pressures.

 

Summation Ticks have moved back up after getting extremely depressed. Summation ticks are a proxy for net buy/sell program behavior. These line up nicely with the 120-min oscillator right now.

 

This morning; the bond market is again getting hit -- helping to send the S&P futures for a large (~7pt) opening gap down.

 

Today is set up bearishly but the market has already traded down. Due to the strong statistical tendencies, I will be patient and will look for a 15-min 20-EMA touch at some point before shorting. Large gaps to start the day indicate the market is out of balance which implies a significant pick-up in volatility.

 

Comments welcomed. Will soon give up on this discussion board if some other traders don't soon join in...

60-mins in:

 

market takes out 'last hour low' decisively to downside with ES forming a 9.25 point initial balance...

 

the bond market is challenging the (potential) excess low put in on Thursday.

 

Puts were not bought aggressively this morning despite the large gap down -- a harbinger of a potential trend day down.

Interesting day for NQ:

 

Mondays session did not touch Fridays POC despite pretty strong tendency to do so. But that was understandable given the strong afternoon trending profile that occured on Friday afternoon after a coil had formed. This upside momentum continued into Monday (on weak volume) before petering out and Mondays session formed 'value' near 1935.00.

 

Then today didn't look like it would touch 1935.00 (Mondays POC) when breadth was awful and the index was trading near 1914.00

 

What happened?

 

NQ went and touched Fridays POC then went and hunted down not only Mondays POC 20 points higher but ran to yesterdays last hour high, 24 points above the low for the day... NQ is a sick contract...

 

currently, NQ has found a little resistance at Mondays last hour high (to the tick so far).

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
