  1. I just trade spy. Could be changing soon though as my clearing firm is starting to make it cheaper and cheaper to trade futs.

  2. One thing is for sure. If we break through it, it will be a nice move.

  3. Yeah, I doubt it will be today though. Check the daily for the decreasing volume on the past 3 up days.

  4. All I want is 1361 today. Is that too much to ask?:D

  5. Going to be interesting to see which way they take this into the close.

  6. I know. On the .75 we've had 3 up and 3 down 4 times in a row. We'll probably go 1 box up and then straight down, or vice versa.

  9. Well today I got hammered. I still have one trade on but I just broke my 9 day winning streak no matter what the results of the trade. I hate when that happens.

  10. Cumulative delta was showing a build up of "net" short positions as we traded 1356 to 1358 area (several rotatations) before the sell off out of that area to lower prices. Cumulative delta can help you see real breakout or false breakout volume flow (that would be the Volume Breakdown tool within Inv R/T set to Cumulative Delta bars). :)
