Why? -> emotions
But also because most cannot wait, no patience, also often these same people bet the farm and end up with tons of margin calls that accumulate as they wait for the fall
They will be squeezed out of their positions, only to watch the market fall the next day.

@Fadi
Thanks and yes, you’re absolutely right
I’ll also add lack of good and tested (over and over again) working plan and the discipline to follow it.
If one has a good working plan she or he will not worry about impatience and margin calls as this will be imbedded into a good plan. And discipline I think it says for itself -- don’t think just stick to it

Based on the scheduled news i.e. 10:00 ISM Manufacturing PMI we should expect a nice counter trend move to the NY Opening Hour Move just around 10:00am
-- Let see if this will hold water today.


Hm, how about that we had a counter move @10:10 (2pts)
(2) 10:00AM - 10:45AM Morning Move
Expect a counter-trend move to the NY Opening Hour Move in the first 45 to 60 minutes

--it’s not what I was hoping for but as I said in post # 174 I'll gladly win 2-3pt a day for the rest of my life…

On the other hand the (3) 10:45AM - 11:45AM Delayed Morning Move
Expect a resumption of the NY Opening Hour Move
played pretty well -- down more than 4pts.

12:45PM - 2:00PM Post-Lunch Move

Ok we're waiting for the

Ok it's about time --better late than never

So after this Post-Lunch Move down we should expect a counter-trend move of the NY Opening Hour Move if the market is testing the low of the day (as per (5) 2:00PM - 3:00PM Afternoon Move)

So As expected we have a beautiful counter –trend move of the NY Opening Hour Move

Now we'll patiently wait for our 3:00PM - 3:30PM Delayed Afternoon Move
– the 2:00pm move will help dictate what may happen at 3:00pm,
expect a resumption of the NY Opening Hour Move if a counter-trend move occurs around 2:00pm

Dario1, i like your assumptions summary. I pretty much look at it as you do. To this end, i like to use this MTF indicator from Fat Tails clickme it is very useful.

Thank you for reminding me about this one. I remember I was using opening range indicator before ( I've experimented with different hours though) and some how I've faded away from it during my research progress -- may be I should take a second look
thanks

For the ES i use 60 minutes for the initial balance (9:30-10:30am EST). This is a standard and consider range extention has been established when price makes 4 ticks outside of the IB, some people use 3 ticks for range extention.
