refer to todays post at 9:38.36...

that's me done at the print of 15.50......couldn't hold trade outside of O/N highs, got below the open and the Overnight peak volume to target................not much really to say ...a range will break out or hold....simple concept

Weekly Pivots for week ending 20-May-2011
take note of Demarks numbers! The only ones i ever consider!

Congrats to you, Bruce. Nice trading.

In the pre-market, I was totally convinced (dangerous thing) that there should be a short squeeze today.

and I don't think I was rationalizing the overnight PA

overnight
1) retested prior RTH swing Low and uncovered buyers.
2) exceeded yesterday's RTH H and uncovered some sellers...BUT
3) retraced only about 50% of the run from early overnight low to current overnight H

I thought if the swing low held as support, an RTH move above overnight H plus a couple of ticks had a great chance at igniting a squeeze.
(50% retracement of the RTH L to H is = 1316.75, actual print low on retracement was 1316.50 near 7:30am)

but I also monitor the NQ, and in the RTH, the NQ was much weaker than the ES. I didn't like the action, so I didn't trade the fakepout breakout.

I'm not upset about mis-diagnosing the overnight, I'm happy I didn't buy the RTH high! ha ha ha.

Thanks Kool!

I was in this earlier @ 1317. A couple more tics down and I might of bailed. This post helped keep my confidence to ride it out. whew..

Glad to help... still believe 1320.50 will be seen later(at a minimum!)

You are right it should show like this.
