They Do It While Most Are Sleeping

Recommended Posts

Almost every day the extreme you would most like to trade is established during overnight trading.

 

Last night at 0400 PST there was strong coordinated selling across all three US Equity Futures as you can see in the chart below.

 

The second chart bleow shows an overlay of the nite session in red and the day session in blue. Notice how on most days the most desirable trade location for the session is shown in red which means it happened BEFORE the open of the day session.

Hey Pat

Makes a lot of sense mate...I guess it requires a lot less dollars to get into position for the next day....take for eg last night going down and today (so far) is an upmarket...a bigger ride in total for those making the market.....

 

Thanks again !

Best

John

You can split some days into two different sessions. If you get a strong move in the pre-market (European session), you often just get sideways action in the cash session, and visa versa. If you only trade the cash sessions it's worth noting this as if you're already at the highs based on average daily range, there probably isn't much more to come unless a reversal occurs.

 

Using the European/night/pre-market session to get set and letting the momentum of the day session sweep through your profit targets is another option, but again the range needs to be considered if you are wanting to be out later that same day, and news announcements often get in the way whipping price around too much, so pick your days carefully :), and do plenty of backtesting!

Interesting post Pat, but unless you are automated and using your firm's indicators, there isn't much a person can do to take advantage of this information. I agree that many good movements/setups can occur while we are sleeping but personally I've found that looking back at trades that might have occurred if I was awake is not a good use of my time.

 

Are you and your traders trading these setups via programming? Would be really nice to wake up to some nice profits while you were sleeping.

Actually I find that many of my setups happen in the PM. I just set my alerts like I do during the day. If they go off at night, I wake up and place the trade, and hopefully go back to sleep with my targets set. I really don't have a set time of day when I trade, its just when ever my setups occur and alerts chime. Come to think of it, the last trade I took woke me up with the "target filled" sound, then I went back to sleep lol

 

Thats just me though.

I would like to see this supported with some statistical analysis.

Think about these for a second. Wisdom might arrive. Or not.

 

 

Strong selling requires strong buying.

 

Most paranoid fantasies are paranoid fantasies. No one is following them.

 

Gurus require acolytes.

 

The king really wasn't wearing clothes.

 

If you can't see the sucker in the room it's probably you.

Have you heard the term "cascading" or "disorderly markets"?

Strangely enough, yes.

 

The interesting thing is that you define strong in a different way to the one I used and hence wonder whether I have heard the quoted words used to define things that happen in markets.

 

But, even if I have heard them, do I assign the same meanings to them that you do? And if different people assign different meanings to simple words like "strong" then what does that mean for markets - good things I'd suggest.

 

What does it mean for trading chat boards? Disagreement and Gurus. And kings with and without clothes. They sure are pretty though. Who's the sucker in the room?

Someone who does not know, and does not know that he does not know, is a fool: Shun him.

 

Someone who does not know, but knows he does not know, is a child: Teach him.

 

Someone who knows, but does not know that he knows, is asleep: Wake him.

 

Someone who knows, and shares what he knows, is a wise man: Follow him.

I understand why you wrote that, but the real one goes like this:

 

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool...shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is willing...teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep...awaken him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise...follow him.

    • 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.
