{quote} So the blue line is the close based on 16:00 and the red line is the open at midnight?
No, the opposite!

Blue lines are extremes from midnight to midnight, but red line is close at 16:00. You'll see them correspond with the red highlighted area for close period...

volume extremely high before open and market is down over 200 ticks today will be a little tricky

... today will be a little tricky
Now he tells me... looks like I got a little confused about 7 mins after the open, wouldn't you say.. I was doing some CG-style "stabbing in the dark"......

5 trades, only the last one did better than +2 ($305 less 10 commissions) - that's the one negative with the NQ, commission eats a whole tick per contract.

that's why the be+1 it either works or you get out even the volume was at 80000 to start knew it would be tricky

What I do in those situations, cap, is simply move the Limit entry lower (for a long) to a "stop acceptable" position - if it fills, it fills (they quite often do).

yes very fast at the open. I let it calm down a bit before any trades. My first trade was Harold's only loss. I had 2 -10s and 2 +11's. I was very hesitant and did not take the good trades. I will hang out for a little while longer to see if anything sets up.

I know you mean well my friend!

To be honest, i've been over-complicating things for years, i mean when you follow the rules look at how simple it really ought to be;
