{quote} Did you switch to 06-16? Not much going on, but volume has moved to new month.
I did. After the open, the chart moves but very slowly.

Another trap to end the pit session. The line chart seems to be not very good today.

EU wasn't great either, made it out with +5 for my morning session. For a bad day, I'll take +5 anytime!

{quote} Don't get too bogged down on RTH vs globex stuff. I've looked at them extensively and there is no right or wrong answer; some days 24hr will prevail, and vice versa. Just choose one and stick to it. Here's what I do. I have my anchor chart with RTH-only, as the most important s/r spots are only formed during the RTH session (for the u.s. indicies). You will rarely find them to flip during globex. On entry I keep 24hr. This is to mark nearby globex high/low which is sometimes respected in the a.m. session as the first reasoning for bulls...
Thank you for sharing those observations. Interesting that Friday's pre-market (Globex) high was tested as support and became today's RTH low.

I thought the ES was rather easy today - clear up trend from the test of Friday's range breakout/pullback level then rally all day, albeit a choppy rally.

Tomorrow afternoon is FOMC. I am taking tomorrow off completely.
