News
numbers at 09:45 and 10:00
typical shake out time

Condition
Yesterday we broke the otf down

For now we have not seen stronger covering or other buying
Looks more like consolidation at the moment

20240424 pre market



News
numbers at 12:30 and 13:00

Condition
The daily is up

Thoughts
We do not know if this is the start of an up-swing or only the conso of the last down-swing
If we move higher we run into older single prints whose endpoints can be a good target
To make me think short we would have to accept prices below yearly vwap /top of singles

20240425 pre market



News
yesterday meta earnings, -15%
today after close googl and msft
13:00 bond auction

Condition
open with very large gap down
brings the status back to down if we do not buy it back soon

Thoughts
I do not follow large gaps early
mosten times the first auction is some kind of fade
Do not be too antizipative, there is enough room for opportunity in this vola

20240426 pre market



News
we had inflation data at 8:30
msft earnings, +3,6%
goog earnings +11%
numbers at 10:00

Condition
Open with big gap up
the on tested over the swing high which could be a line in the sand for more buying or for a look above and fail

Thoughts
at first we normallly need some consolidation
the edges of the on belly could also be lines in the sand
see what is and act accordingly

20240429 pre market



News
tuesday amc amzn
wednesday fomc meeting
thursday amc aapl
friday nfp

Condition
We open near the fridays high

Thoughts
For me its still not clear if the low of the conso is in, or not, especially as we have very important news events this week
Were the last days mainly covering and sellers get back in control?
Or do we see a continuation of buying with more and more buyers coming in?
Take it as it comes Do not take too much information risk. Let the market show its hand

today we see a "non-trend before news - day"

Important to recognize that early and go away

20240430 pre market



News
9:45 and 10 smaller numbers

Condition
we open inside of range

Thoughts
Yesterday was non-trend with the exception of k&l
I expect more of the same before the big news
I will look more for outside-in-trades and less for initiative trades

20240501 pre market



News
09:45 PMI
10:00 ISM
14:00 FOMC !!!

Condition
We open with small gap down on top of yesterdays trendday down

Thoughts
This was by far not what i expected yesterday :-)
We had a trendday down which turned the whole picture more to the bearish side
On the other hand anything can happen with the big news events this week. So we should have a clearer picture not before the end of this week
I will trade for an hour or two and then leave the algos alone

focus on the basics





If the main driving orderflow on a given day is in the stock market, how good can a tool be that uses ES orderflow only? ... vwap, cum delta, footprint, etc


Given that there are millions of orders in different underlyings and products, how detailled should my analysis be?
