- Lead ups to big events
- Sentiment
- Witching (double and triple)
- Jewish Holidays
- Times of the day
- Expectations
- Scheduled News
- Central Banks
- Economic Indicators
- Government Policies
- Options
The game here is not to predict where the market will go (directional) but to predict WHEN it will or won't go and the motivations behind that. We're traders, not economists.
