I can only speak for myself, but my edge doesn't change based upon how much movement there is. The markets are fractal so there's short and long setups firing on multiple different charts all the time. If there's bigger movement like there has been lately I will lesson my size and trade a bigger buy or short setup. If the market tightens up, I'll go to a smaller chart and take a buy or sell there, the only adjustment is the ATR expectation of the move. EDIT: Meaning those big down and up moves aren't always random, it's just a bigger chart going into a buy or sell mode. If you have an edge on a smaller chart, there's no reason you can't apply it to a larger chart as the markets are fractal.
You got it . I got used to violent crazy moves were i could throw a scale of 30 es on and get 10-30 pts fast. I'm not throwing size on with this slow movement up and down. I'm like a herion addict coming off a fix .The only guy on here who listed his buys and sells real time the apprentice got stopped out like 5 times in row. Each trader likes what they like .
I'm seeing IHS - 30 min chart...just me but seems like they're chewing through demand pretty good...getting weaker as the hours tick by..
The inability to break below 60 and hold isn't promising for the Bears. However, I'm still holding a slightly bearish sentiment in the short to medium term. I think the risk/reward favors a downward retracement
2 guys 2 different opinions . If you have tight 5-7 pt stops there stopping people out on both sides the last hr . Its called chop
