Got in the game late here, and maybe wrong direction at this point, but shorted 83, looking for 78 ...

 

already at 8.50 range, 9.50 median over 20 days, so perhaps a few more points is wishful thinking nowadays...

I took a long at 82, playing rotation back up. Target 87.50. Currently hovering around 84.

Updated: Out at 87 flat...didn't want to push my luck with 87.50.

for anyone who missed it, 84.75 is the first swing low vwap and midpoint area(and probably something else I missed :))

 

Edit: low vol probably

 

Will be intersting to see how far we rotate and if the sellers come back in...

 

84.50 interesting area as you say.. they should pop that..

Just one thing to note josh- delta

 

I added here at 85, but will bail soon on this... against my better judgement, and should have simply exited around BE when I had the chance and even reversed long.

 

Perhaps I'm trying to outsmart the market here -- at some point, the market will actually have a continuation in the direction it started -- this week has been open drive down, reverse back up... isn't it getting too easy to predict this? sigh..

 

Exited here for -2.5 per contract...

Looking ahead, IF this continues up, we have some excess.

 

WOuld like to see the 86.25 get taken and then see how the Delta is up there.. I am still waiting to add - this 86.25 doesn't look like a top for this rotation, IMHO

N, you talked about squeezing the shorts.

 

Perhaps you could discuss the psychology of such a strategy. I'm curious, who is doing the squeezing, and what is their intention or goal? They want higher prices to re-short? So they buy, buy, buy, create a panic of buying and then they are waiting to offer higher than they are buying on the way up? What if their inventory is so large (long) that they cannot attract enough buyers at the now much higher prices? Maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong.

 

MightyMouse, I know you are into market psychology and this kind of thing; perhaps you can comment as well?

Simply put, when a quick reversal like the one we saw happens and the longs know they have the guys who were selling earlier by the balls and they have a good price, they simply hold. Probably buy more on small rotations, but until all those shorts capitulate, it'll slowly grind it's way up.

That was a bit rude at 91.50's. Kinda like tripping someone over in the street. Pfft. They might fuel another pop yet.

 

Is the market taking a breather at the 90 level before pushing higher or will we repeat yesterday's action? Looks like the low has already been made (for now).

 

This might be a crazy suggestion, but what are your thoughts about finishing the day around the 96/97 level?

 

Anyway, I jumped in long at 90.5 and will look to target 94.5 initially. Will change my mind if we start heading back towards 87/88 level.

Josh: It's kind of where the fuel is... Market was long, screw the longs..market gets short..screw the shorts... It usually goes to where the paper is then it will continue with the trend.. today looks pretty tall in the saddle,...going to be an outside day..a good rejection of the Low so path of least resistance for now is up...

 

This thing hasn't even had a decent rotation yet... all the earmarks of a potential trend day - depending how you define it... :2c:

Yeah maybe. Or even right around the 1399.00's like I said earlier in the day. The RTH open for the week is 97.75 so that could do it too. I think that so long as sellers don't appear from nowhere, the gap is a target for a push higher, along with that RTH open and the balance & week vpoc. who knows, ach

      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?

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
