just wondering if oi could be used as a general gauge for bullish/bearish control, when trying to understand longer term direction and potential reversal areas on the daily chart..

there's a section on it in alex elder's book, trading for a living, will have to dust it off and have a read..
just remember for every short there is a long, and vise versa, I suspect there is information that one can take away from following it...I used it for figuring out, or most accuratley, guessing what the funds positions where in a given market...if you keep close tabs on them, your able to get a decent idea of how many cars they have, especially the more active ones, then, when they decide its time to come out, or if they are going to rollover to the next contract, you can be somewhat prepared..

true... thats part of the problem

thinking of just starting to get up at 5am every day trading pre ny into ny and blowing off london. maybe getting on a schedule like that will help

ill figure it out once the summer is in full force to kinda see when the bigger moves come

yeah it's about following what the big player's are doing, the ones who actually drive the market and hold longer term.. not the small intraday players.. ie. if oi has been increasing, but then starts to decrease after price has changed direction, could it be used as an indication that positions are being unwound? ie. a reversal has taken place, rather than just a corrective move..

sure you can pick up various tid bits, but like I said, markets that are smaller, you can get a better picture...but when you look at say the Eminis, good luck, on a busy few days, the entire open interest might change hands, throw in the spot and option hedgers, and well you get the idea..
slow and lubed cant believe i just said that

but without checking it daily and making your own report its pretty useless stating the obvious here i used excel spreads but after a while it got tiresome plus like a bustard friend off mine used to say you can see it in the candles but theres nothing like a few digits to read as well heres the report i used to use chat more later
