These are days I luv in ES, narrow Scalpers dreams, only problem is lack of volume. I play the buck system, price coming down to whole dollar, buy it there then exit buck higher and go short, I use time rules of going in the direction I require otherwise too long, will take a tick. it best to use a MACD and watch when it gets around zero line to show chop, going back and forth.
just watch the volume values and pay attention to the price movements, Than see if anything stands out. Each price bar has a volume quantity. what did price do when there was an increase in volume? generic but its a trial by error process.
