Trading Perspective: I came out swing the bat today at the market. All trades via the trading reports or trading manual except for the first trade in Emini NQ...intuition trade (no pattern signal). It would seem via hindsight that the strength in today's market was due to the 0830am est key economic reports that produce volatility that maintained itself until around 1130am est.
After 1130am est the chop or lack of pattern signals was predictable and should have been a red flag for none price action only traders to stay on the sidelines or control their increased risk exposure via reducing their position size.
By the way...here's a market seasonal tendency hint from the Trading Manual...
Research the past Olympics and compare the market price action from the ceremony to the closing ceremony.
