It amuses me that you trade without knowing the basics of futures trading and then try to conceal your mistakes with smart arse comments like that. Of course volume analysis is important but whether a contract is traded at the bid or ask doesn't tell you whether it's "Fresh money flow" or "stops kicking in" as you put it.
ES bid at 1498.75. We're climbing! Wall of worry, we are here! Whoops! Bid just dropped to .....50, but we're still climbing that wall! You doubters, observe that their isn't much size on the ask!
Since we're here at the bottom (tm) I'd like to put my order in. Let's see, I'd like three days of pretty much straight up action for the month end bias thing, then a straight back down the full amount reversal for Friday afternoon. And I'll have a double-double, animal style of course
Oh, man! Going down, again? Bid's only 1498.50? Now, 1498.25? What? Me worry? It will be a long night, don't be deceived. Nikkei down about 110! What will the dax do to us? Ha ha ha! Bid up to 1498.50. Play with me, babe, play with me!
Nice try dude, but go figure it out on your own, as far as I'm concerned, the more ignorant you stay the better for me.........yeah you're right how could that have ever identified the flow of fresh money or the profit taking or the stops having kicked in? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah It's all in the Delta but, not the limited scope of Delta you've come to read about. Knowing if one can trade or not can only be measured at 4:15 every trading day. Mine measures at an average of 2% per day in all modesty(Actually 5 but don't want to cause too much annoyance). I know for basic level traders it's been tough yesterday and today, although a dream day for the experts.
The above is a great and very true statement and one notenough people think about as they trade positions too big for themselevs and get eaten up
