Testing Nas100 still. Demo only
The "Blue" Box
Price came back to hit the open and dropped - would have been a straightforward channel trade ( Roadmap) - Laura's thread.
But look at end of hour box -price might go long?

Guys -regarding the demo E/J -why did it collapse after the open and drop to brn way below. }
Simple answer is Market Structure.

Price tries to rally (very weakly) from Day Open 2am GMT & hits NY Close and falls during Franky Session.

Another Rally back up to the same level again, this time by the London traders 8am GMT, entice retail to Buy ( remember, the wrong way first ?) & fails
at the NY Close again.

London traders have another go at taking Longs 13.00 GMT ( notice the slow staircase grind up before - weakness) but fail at Daily Open with NY traders piling in now.

Well that was interesting - up through 50 Fibo and hit level above ( possible target). Then crossed down through 50 Fibo for short towards lower ADR
and "Roadmap" stop out.

I got stopped out twice, BE though. Went in my favor 20+ both times but failed to bank, was expecting a big drop like EU that never came, well yet.

Dow(US30) and S&P are correlated pairs, when one pair breaks the 10:30 box low or high it is a confirmation of the opposite side of the range will be the high or low for the rest of the NY session for both pairs, with a 85% probability, depending on the time of the year it can be up to 90%.
The other pair will attempt to do the same within a short time. Look at the DOW and S&P right now, the DOW broke the box (candle close outside)
so the probability is that the high of the range will be the NY session high, only a 15% it will not.

what helped me is the d1 directional bias.
after a big push up yesterday, likely to range the next day so as to get ready to break the high.

The only real difference between ALL the major indices is the magnitude of the daily moves. This is a result of the weighting given the underlying equities.

My suggestion for indices is pick ONE, learn it, and $$$$$.


edit: there are subtle nuances between all of them

I use these 2 for the divergence of the key levels H M L. I trade this with my grid levels and swing market structure as well. All work nicely together for any pair I trade.

Was but a suggestion for those who want to trade the indices with the realization that where one goes it is almost assured the others will also. Usually simultaneously.

Similar to the ones who use the dollar index to trade the EU. Kind of making things harder for themselves.

I don't trade grid per se, but I "see" the market that way. I do think it is more geometric than purely mathematical.

Short set up off 50% level US30 1hr box...
Oops posted before done lol... as well SPX off the top end and Opens

Tom Hougaard often uses the divergence between indices for a bias... Many ways to skin the bark off the tree!

Took shorts on both pairs, Have a little resistance on the 50% of S&P but I expect it to break down to get liquidity at the lows.

And down she goes . Boomer of a short off the top... With the US30 closing outside of the box...exactly as you stated Tony..gave a very high probability short off the top of the box of the SPX...well done to those who captured this... A Risk of maybe 3pts for 20 pts so far...

Patience has been key today...I took losses on Oil today due to poor self mgmt...one of those days lol...

50 is not always their target. When it is they let you know imo.

Just looked at the Sp500 , there was a whole lot of levels above where you could short from, PDL, DO, NY Close, NY Open
Not to mention BOS & Retest same as with Brent Oil today.

100% Shabs... Confluences abound... Low of Tokyo session...Tokyo open...the first major retracement of the SPX at 11:05 kissed the low of Asia 4075 approx.. depending on broker...there ya go again ..quarters ... Lol..

Not many trades that I will pull the trigger on based on simply one level etc...it has to be multiple confluences... But the SPX high of box...with a short bias...(as was today) I will just pull the trigger at the top and place a tight stop...more often than not it pays handsomely...

Markets have been very very organized of late...except for that 450 pip Oil spike yesterday...wowsers...
