ES Daily Notes 5 Jan 2009

i will hang out and hope for 22 but really want 17-18 where we would have an uber bullish pattern...just wishful hoping

for those not mixed up in the world of market profile...a ledge will have matching 30 minute lows or highs inside the days range.....not called a ledge usually when the matching 30 minute low or high falls on the days highs or lows....

I watch for certain repeating patterns at key price levels. 940 was an obvious example of which. The point being, you need a reason to stare at the DOM or T&S... 90% of the time I ignore them. If price is at a key price level, then I watch DOM / T&S closely to see how the market is acting per my expectations.

T&S is more of a confirming indicator for me. I use color to tell me what is happening. Light Green is a trade at the Offer, Light Red at the Bid, dark green above the offer, dark red below the bid. Next, I filter the T&S at 10 and set my block indicator to 50. I am watching 3 groups of traders. First I watch the medium size traders between 10 and 50 lots which tends to act as a flow of orders in the direction of the immediate trend. Second group are the blocks above 50 needed to sustain a price move, and finally I am watching for the big blocks above 200 which tend to kick newly forming trends into hyper-drive.

If you stare at this stuff long enough, and have a good feel for all these little S/R levels, then eventually it will start to make sense. It takes time to develop a reliable feel however.

still plenty of time for that VO....hope you clean em up

long the ym @ 8965

hmmm this is a poser...don't think there gonna wanna end the day here, but which way they gonna go?

flat 70 on ym

thanks PT....I guess that would be a tough thing to teach as it changes so fast to get screen shots etc......That is a great way to confirm trades I would imagine once you get the hang of it.....You had that wall of sellers at 903 a few weeks back which was awesome as that was a key zone ..thanks for the explaination
