Morning TF futures and other emini futures in this and last week

Hello,

Why is it that for the past two weeks, with the exception of the big downtrend last Wednesday, most mornings in the TF futures have been quite choppy with weak breakouts, weak price follow through sudden spikes as opposed to smoother trend-like moves which were often seen in July, part of August and even June and May? When will better moves and volatility return?

Thanks

 

Trade the market in front of you, not the one you want.

 

Markets are schizophrenic

but most likely because September is contract expiration and low volume makes markets more susceptible to HFT.. just my .2 cents

 

Big moves in currencies always complicate the US order flow into the Europe equity close at 1030 CT. In that environment the banks and energy often try to go one way while tech and retail try to go the other. So you don't get clean risk on/risk off moves.
