This Morning's Trade

Recommended Posts

Because we feel that an indication of the direction of the next 20 - 50 points in ES is forming now we posted a report on this mornings activity. Here is an excerpt from that report:

 

Today's number of filings for state jobless benefits was 570,000 - bigger than the expected 550k

A measure of the services industry, ISM Services, will be released at 1000 EST

The Institute for Supply Management reported at 1000 a greater than expected

improvement in the US services sector

 

*****

 

The Nite Session found support at 993.00 and selling slightly above 1003.00

 

This screen capture of our HUD was taken 30 minutes before today's Open

This chart shows Trade in ES 45 minutes after the open.

Prices are down from the open but still between Nite Suppor and Nite Resistance

The ISM announcement enhances downward bias

I've read in your previous posts that you commitment can sometimes can be defined as ticks that happen on the upside vs ticks that happen on the downside. How are you defining whether or not a trader is considered long term? Are these traders who are involved in the initial movement that occurs around an intensity spike?

Dave,

 

Thanks for the query.

 

We pay no attention to ticks. We pay attention to buy and sell volumes and classify them in several different ways. All of the trade in an intensity spike does not necessarily get added into what we call "longer term commitments by commercials."

 

cheers

Perhaps I might have misread some of your previous posts then.

 

So is trader commitment usually discovered during these intensity spikes and if it is, are you looking for orders or groups of orders that appear to be of a large size?

 

What would help constitute that a trade is considered long term vs non long term? Based on what you have said your roots started with MP, so does some of this tie into initiative and responsive traders who are making their movies inside our outside specific value areas?

 

I would have to assume, that the portion of the right of the HUD would represent some sort of buying/selling pressure for a given time period (i.e. overnight) based on the cumulative pressure that occurred during these different time frames.

I'd like to congratulate UrmaBlume for providing useful information and discussion with other traders and thus withdraw my suspicions and comments about his motivations in posting on the board. For the record - I guess I apologize :)

Although subtle, your last point explains a lot and I appreciate your "commitment" ;)

Just some other thoughts, you have mentioned that volume and size don't help in classifying the type of trader - how do you determine if a trader is long term or not? Are LDB reports part of the decision process?

    • 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/
