    Anyone have a mechanical way to call a trend day early in the day with any semblance of reliability (ie: > 50 %)

    Thanks!
     
  2. I knew today would be a trend day because of the "minor change" in the McClellan Osc. on Thursday, combined with the fact that Friday was not a trend day.

  3. When the open is the extreme print and the market drives powerfully in one direction in the first 10 minutes or so.

    If the prior day was a narrow range, inside day or a 5 tick doji.. you have a very favorable percentage change of some sort of followup trend day -- or at least, open and close at relative extremes.

  8. Because it gives you an hedge and when you can have consistent edge the risk is more than proportionally lowered see money management rule.
