Since I mentioned the long idea earlier, I feel obligated to now say that it didn't set up, and I'm short 93.37 looking for 93.10's

So I took the short with the breakdown of the O/N lows, and patiently waited for the long after they did end up failing.



Have a good day.

Today would be one of those rare days that Jim Dalton talks about where a poor low actually signifies a market simply getting too short as opposed to the more common scenario of a poor low.

I for one do not know how to tell one from another- until the hindsight goggles are on.

Do you guys? Anyone ever heard ole Jimmy boy talk about how to actually tell the difference?

I call Mr. Dalton Uncle Jimmy out of affection. I will not call todays price action as market getting too short. If it had reversed with some visible FORCE from 93 area and ran 160 to 250 ticks to the upside- then it will be a sign of market getting too short.

To me it's just a regular every day rotation/balancing under way.

Not from Dalton, but If the market is too short, the price should move aggressively to the upside or at the very least, have some disruptive volatility to clear the short bias, hit the stops, hit the pending orders, throw things off balance and press the reset button. This is assuming the smart money and big players still want to take the price down. We see this all the time on days when retail thinks "the price came down so much, it has to go up from here".

Although today in my view was just a normal day for oil. Double top or head and shoulders off the London High, weekly pivot point and previous week VAH...ALL with a momentum diverged to the downside. LOD was into last week's VAL and Friday's VAL, also diverged and then back up to the opening price.

Whether the low is a poor, rich, too sort, too long, etc really doesn't make a difference on my end, although I did not see the market as acting one sided at all today!

@BTR411 , @mfbreakout

Hoping to continue this healthy discussion here.

In regards to this "poor low" or simply a "balanced day" I interject this:

We have two main reasons that a market will form a low:

A) More commonly, we have a completed auction. This would be where buyers see such an attractive price that they believe to be below "value" that they bid it up quickly from the area. This leaves behind what we call excess.

B) We have what happened today, which is a low made with no excess, but rather all signs point to an incomplete auction that simply ran out of aggressive sellers. Price went back up due to a drying up of these aggressive sellers.

Each of these two ways of forming a fractal low have different implications for context going forward into the next session. Today the low was formed from (B) type, from all my analysis.

BTW, I have spoken with Jimmie on this specific situation. He's traveling tonight, but will be back with me in the morning. I look forward to passing along his insight.

Also, we have to be careful that we are not talking about DIFFERENT auctions/timeframes here. This could lead to us not even talking about the same issue/area.

Jimmie D. got back with me while on his travels up the west coast.


Quoting 
You were correct regarding Monday's low in CL. Don't forget, what is a good low because of inventory for Monday is a poor low going forward.

I think your question means, "Where did you trade professionally?"

I have only been a retail trader trading personal funds, friends and family, and as of today prop for TST. I did start a CTA in 2012, but it got off to a bad start and closed it down.

If you meant something else, feel free to rephrase.

I meant, after the analysis, where did you end up placing your trades on the day, either yesterday or today.
