Ya just never know what's gonna happen. [10:12] Pre-market I had a long bias...still do. [10:13] Not me. Not yet, anyway. TICK, Vixes, AD Lines all say down [10:14] All I need is Trin to climb a little and I'm in trend mode [10:14] 0,2 Covered 2/3 ES Short @ 1189.00 --> + 2 [10:14] I got a bell that rings with new HOD or LOD, been going nuts today lol [10:14] Nice short, nihaba :) [10:15] I thought for sure with Oil pulling back a little from its highs and the U.S. dollar ralling a little...market would be up by now.

[10:15] fft what u look for in TRIN for taking trades? [10:15] niha did u do any dax trades this morning? [10:16] 0,6 exit stop lowered ES @ 1190.75 [10:16] .75 buyers finally? [10:17] Pat - trend. If TRIN is climbing, that's a bit of a bear sign. If it's falling, bull sign. Not really useful all by itself, should be combined with other knowledge. [10:17] No DAX today...I missed its first 2 hours of action and when that happens...to trade it afterwards...I don't have a good feel for its price action. [10:17] I see Dax still has a Gap to close. [10:19] I've done some research that suggests there is some sort of usefullness to the value of TRIN as well, but haven't come up with anything conclusive yet.
