Yes, I trade quite often now that the weather is cooler. Lost track of this thread merely because I could not keep up with the posts. It seemed to fairly explode at one point and staying current was not practical. Then, too, it's geared towards equities and I don't do dat. Volume on the SP is in hindsight. I suppose I could check yesterday's volume today but that is not going to do much for me now. Sometimes I pick up tips where Buyers and Sellers are, yesterday after taking a Long just before the halt I was re-assured to hear that there were solid buyers below the lock limit but determining "how much" in terms of what volume would look like was not even considered. Then as well, I know a fellow who tells me once in awhile that Plaza or whoever is buying "x" number of contracts and there is a clue, but this isn't widely available data. So I stick to pattern and time. Oddly enough, after all these years of avoiding Gann Theory I am now attracted to it because much of his work was on patterns and time, along with price. So I'm trying to learn his techniques to some extent. It's been several years since I was interested in math puzzles, so it's a challenge. SP should be a strange ride today, I'm thinking.
