Day Trading the E-mini Futures with Predictor

Tentatively offering liquidity at 59.25....

Wow, our newest order flow tools give us unprecedented insight into the order flow dynamics.. I haven't shared these with the public yet but am very excited. I can't share them until we release (because we have several competitors watching everything we do ). But it's very exciting.. I can see new dynamics in the order flow.

Here are a few other things that may be relevant for today's action

Both the buy and sell algorithms running now are trying to do business around 61.25/61.50... sometimes you'll see an algorithm that waits there too long and apparently has a timer to go to market...

----

Buy programs have started to hit the market... hard for me to execute here though because the its a small range. not much opportunity. They seem to be programmed to go off at random times but they tend to continue buying once they start.

---

Attempting a short off the 63... so far LQ providers have been pulling out... its a 1 shot.

--------

What happens is LQ provider pulls the offer above... then sell program hits... pulls.. sell program hits... or rather sell algorithms.. this is why we can see the market just marching along higher even though there is more aggressive selling

----

See some evidence we may retest lower range still...

Absolutely believe that what we've created a superior software for reading the order flow. I look forward to being able to share this after we release. Hopefully it will happen within the next several days...

1466.50 looks like a reasonable short... I can see the LQ providers resetting to this level and it is near our H1 reversal point

----

Bias is short off 66.50. Strong order flow... buy side... need it to reverse here or only take a scalp

---

LQ providers are resetting to 65.25... may get 64ish even

---

OF has turned 1 sided negative.. good sign

LQ providers have pulled to 74.50... will be keen to see what happens around there

----

Consumer confidence at 9.55. If I'm not filled before then may pull... and watch for a better short opportunity on an extreme movement to h1

----

Some demand at 74.50 if we break that then I could target new lows

 

---

Great entry... not worth the risk of holding through report though. will wait and watch

---

Reshorted.. reading tape updats will be delay

---

Market likely to jump to new low momentarily..

Bias is shift to long at lows... Not an easy day today.. exceeded my profit target nonetheless and DFD. My experience is after exceeding profit goals my risk/reward doesn't increase so I won't be active. There is some opportunity on long side at lows. Very large limit order imbalances on buy side all way down..

 

Our software gives the me (the discretionary tape reader) a tremendous advantage. The first generation programs that only display the transacted orders are not suitable for the type of precision required in today market.. imho

 

Still very difficult... today the action was for dropping on buy programs... buy program, drop, buy program, drop. It makes it rather difficult but was able to recognize the pattern early. A lot of sell programs are only programmed to go off on a new high... so as soon as we hit a new high then they push it to a new low.

Keeping in mind H1 is around 78... watching currently but will only take an exceptional opportunity.. unless today turns into a strong trend day then it will be hard to difficult to exceed h1... about 50k contracts accumulated so far...will watch what type of response to what I expect to be a heavy book in the 78ish region

 

Offering 77.75..77.5

--

LQ providers pulling to 78.5.. marketing in..

seeing some signs HOD is in

Added to short position...

---

Lot of pulling on the bids on the back levels but 94 has been added too... lot of traders were short from 94... when those traders finish covering and if we trade below 94 then we could get a nice run

---

Some short term traders are targeting the 92.50... lq provider has reset to just below 92...

    • Date: 7th May 2024. Dow Jones Close To 1-Month High, Eyes on Disney Earnings. The stock market trades at a 3-week high after significant support from the latest earning reports and US employment data. Economists continue to expect a rate cut no earlier than September 2024 despite the US unemployment rate rising to 3.9%. The US Dollar Index trades higher on Tuesday and fully corrects the decline from NFP Friday. Dow Jones investors wait for Disney to release their latest quarterly earnings data. The stock holds a weight of 1.93%. USDJPY – The US Dollar Regains Lost Ground The USDJPY is an interesting pair on Tuesday as the US Dollar is the best performing currency within the market while the Yen is witnessing the strongest decline. Investors will continue to monitor as we enter the European Cash Open to ensure no significant changes. The exchange rate has been declining since the 29th of April when the Japanese Government is believed to have intervened and strengthened the Yen. However, the US Dollar has been gaining over the past 24 hours. During this morning’s Asian Session, the exchange rate trades 0.44% higher. Currently the only concern for the US Dollar is the latest employment data which illustrates a potential slowing employment sector. However, investors are quick to point out that this cannot be known simply from 1 weak month. This is the first time the NFP data read lower since November 2023. No major data is in the calendar for the next two days which can influence the US Dollar. Despite the weaker employment data and lower wage growth, investors continue to predict a rate cut no earlier than September 2024. This is something which can also be seen on the CME FedWatch Tool, which shows a 34.3% chance of rates remaining unchanged in September. In regard to the Japanese Yen, most analysts expect the next rate increase in the second half of this year depending on a stable movement of inflation. In addition, investors are monitoring the actions of financial authorities, expecting new currency interventions from them against a weakening Yen. This is the main concern for investors speculating against the Yen. However, economists continue to advise the Yen will struggle to gain even with a small rate hike, unless the rest of the financial world starts cutting rates. USA30 – Investors Turn To Disney Earnings Data! The Dow Jones is close to trading at a 1-month high and is also trading slightly higher this morning. The index recently has been supported by the latest employment data which indicates a higher possibility of rate cuts by the Fed. Today investors focus on the quarterly earnings report for Disney. Disney stocks are trading 0.37% higher during this morning’s pre-trading hours indicating investors believe the report will be positive. So far this year the stock is trading 28.40% higher and is one of the better performing stocks. Yesterday, the stock rose by 2.47% but remains significantly lower than its all-time high of $197. Currently analysts believe the earnings data will either be similar to the previous quarter or slightly lower. If earnings and revenue read higher, the stock is likely to continue rising. The stock is the 22nd most influential stock for the Dow Jones and will only influence the USA30 and USA500, not the USA100. Currently, technical analysis continues to indicate a strong price sentiment. The price trades above the 75-bar EMA and above the VWAP. In addition to this, the RSI is trading at 68.11 which also signals buyers are controlling the market. The only concern for traders is retracements. A weaker retracement could decline to $38,703, whereas a stronger retracement can fall back to $38,571. Always trade with strict risk management.
