i trade nq and er2 all day every session and it doesnt seem to behave strange to me. just relentless buying at the lows but that's hardly manipulation and if it is i am as well as guilty as charged.
yada yada yada....all full of it as usual....early morning nq es ym is dumb....jane and dick said to spot "see the teenie weenie bars , spot?" spot began to chase his tail in a circle, every time jane dick and spot woke up early to trade..they never got it.......teenie bars, get it? when u flip on the 30 min chart and the 1pt bars are great for you , then you need to be doing something else....the 5 min is a dot at end of day...a mere speck....chase ur tail again spot...
=============== JoeP; Will help you with some work; but not do it all. A helpful place to start is write down pivots[pp] for each trading day plus ,S1,R1....... hi, lo ,close. Weekends look at longer time frames. Or some charts put those PP in; actually like enough moving average-trend lines/grid lines. on a chart, if ES trades it usually hits /bounces something.
