Failed to get filled at 11.25 on ES. Should have whacked in a market order.

In Singapore right now. Hotel is right next to a casino.

Chances of trading < 0.

You can't have a less than 0 probability buddy. You could have a 0 probability, but then trading would be possible.

I don't know how you can play in the casino. I can't take gambles where the odds are against me any more.

Not yet Rob, although that's not too far off. Well the first part anyway

Congratulations :clap:

It is probably the only worthwhile irrational gamble worth taking btw.

Well - I sure don't go to supplement my income.

7:53GMT and 207k contracts traded overnight in ES Asian session alone.

For those that don't know, this is about 3-4 times the normal amount for this time of day.

You need volume on your chart Pat but it often boils down to rejection of established trading ranges and if you can see volume build up at the extremity of the range then it is likely that on the open, those rejecting the range are already positioned and drive price away from the range.

You can see it on a price chart but it confirms nicely with volume. This gives confidence to enter with those already positioned and ride it out with them.

Annotated image for you Pat - might make more sense.

Already traded today. Finished for the week now.

Thanks for explaining.
In return I will put forward an idea of mine.
Using my weighted average method, I have my 4 best indicators for daily forecasts set to make a single best daily forecast. It's not perfect but better than just single indicators.

What does your forecast say for today out of curiosity?

Although I'm not going to trade it, I would expect a re-test of yesterday's RTH low around 1370-1372 before continuing down to about 1348 area on ES.
