MC/CQG is using 5pm of last night closing 4150.75 as initial price, 6pm open at 4157, because of the after hour jumped. vs. yesterday closing price 4126. Full 31 points uncounted for. Let me see if the data reset tonight, it is weired, never notice this big of discrepancy before, been using MC for years.
AMP is a crook, we had a bad time with this crook , Tradestation is solid good reputation broker,we never have problem with TS sa far.
NQ now is much better liquidity , ES start to be lazy crop now. Generally both used to be similar but now ES very slow lazy Dolly..
Well, NQ is a different animal for sure. Similar, but definitely not quite the same. With the exception of a few slower days recently I'd say ES is still moving plenty, though. Are you trading mostly NQ, then?
Today's session is also a good example of how favorable NQ is compared to ES, but maybe I'm just catching it at a special time. Strong trend higher on NQ which kept going while ES got stuck after the initial move. Twice the reward for the same risk.
95% of traders have been super bears for months . Most traders tell you what happened already . It’s why so few can make a living at this
Definitely a lot of bears around, but there's always plenty of bulls, too. Traders, by definition, should only concern themselves with short term direction, IMO. Having a locked down bias/prediction and not updating that on proof of the contrary is a recipe for disaster. I stopped making sense of the market fundamentally a long time ago, so I just keep it 100 % technical. The current market seems to have a lot of people scratching their heads, both bulls and bears. Wouldn't be surprised if we see another major reversal lower at some point. Nobody appears to know anything.
