ES has build a nice 5 day Balance exactly where the old Balance was
The market has a "memory"

And it is a round number 4,400. Round numbers are magnetic, especially in the ES

Clarity versus granularity



Playing with sierra chart settings
It is a permanent conflict between clarity and granularity
I use a 4 tick for the weekly profile and have the 1 tick poc´s overlayed

Comments how others solve this conflict are appreciated

I have only the TPO on a daily chart and have 2 ticks each letter. I feel like it would be better to have 1 tick each but then I can see nothing when I zoom out...
I like Sierra Chart a lot but I feel it is not best software for Market Profile Trading.

20231110 pre market



News and numbers
Feds Bostic is speaking
10 am Uni Michigan (shake out time)

Objectives
We are in 5 day Balance
Balances rules apply
The on explored lower twice but failed strongly

Thoughts
If they keep this Balance so flat, this is bullish
the on rejection is also bullish but we already moved up a good way
poc and vwap of the balance are near the middle. This area can be choppy

20231110 post market



trades 11 10


  • We opened in the middle of that 5 day balance
  • After the open they pulled back to vwap and made a nice absorption volume peak so i bought it
  • Exited before the 10 am news
  • Bought back partially after the news and found myself in unfavourable trade location. Consequently i got shaken out
  • Bought back when buyers were back in control

20231113 pre market



news and numbers
-

objectives
we had a 3 day consolidation that was very flat
on friday we had a strong up-day
we took out last month high and reached septembers vpoc

Thoughts
nothing new here
the market is very bullish and at the same time potentially overbought
do not anticipate liquidation
do not sit in longs too long

20231113 post market



trades 11 13


  • After the strong expansion of range on friday i saw potential for the market to be a bit more 2-sided
  • Was not the case. I lost with shorts
  • I ended the day early as there is not much potential at the moment
  • The market closed with an inside day which could create some pressure in combination with inflation numbers

20231114 pre market

we had inflation numbers

Objectives
we open with a large gap on top of an already large flagpole
oni is long and we open in the upper part of the onr
Round number and september poc 4500 is right above us

Thoughts
I do not follow large gaps early
watch signposts, especially onh, open, vwap
