ES short-term trading 10-6-10

Here is an historical study that (IMHO) is worth tracking and its "set-up" might be realized today.

I've related that I get the gap-guys free videos (I don't subscribe and I don't necessarilly trade opening gaps) but I do like to see what he has to say about the daily bars and he does provide technical historical studies that are pure data.

Last week he published a study that looked at Gap Up openings where the Open was a new 40 trading day H. Incredibly, historically, 82% of these gaps fill on the same day.

This happened on Thursday, 9-30-10 and that gap filled.

If today, Wed, 10-06-10 opens above 1158.75, that would be a gap open at a new 40 trade day High.

This isn't clear Rburns if you could rephrase it then I'll gladly help if i can..if not tonight then in tomorrows thread.

Bruce could you pls talk about what you are thinking when you have lets say 3 air pockets below, or above. What are thinking about how many will fill, and will you buy or sell the 1 st air with others below or above. If I am not clear pls say so.

rburns - I didn't understand the question either - perhaps a chart of what you're looking at would help?

where i can read more about technical indicators and what about the analysis that brokers provide ?

You can read about the indicators almost everywhere on the net.
Just place in Google terms like "technical indicators" "technical analysis indicators" "price action indicators", etc.
