Doji Reversal - Textbook Example
This "textbook example" occurred Tuesday morning in the second hour of trading.
S&P 500 Emini Futures (ES)
This Doji appeared at a Weekly Trading Zone which greatly increased the probability of a reversal. It also happened to be an area where we have seen support on numerous occasions over the past week. This is an hourly chart. Remember, the larger the time frame - the more important the signal. This candle opened the hour at 1397.50. Over the hour price traded as high as 1398.75 and as low as 1394.50. What's really important and what makes it a Doji, is the fact that 1 hour later it closed at exactly the price it opened 1397.50.
What are the chances? What are the odds? I don't know. What I do know is that this setup, in this time frame, offers one of the highest probability setups you will find in the world of trading. That goes for futures, emini, stocks, grains, forex, any auction style market. Not only is this signal important for entering the market, if you were short coming down into the Weekly Zone Trading, the Doji told you it was possibly a very good time to consider taking some or all profits. Watch for the Doji, a trader's friend.
CME Volume Falls 40% in August
With Labor Day behind us the question is "Will volume and volatility return?".
By Lynne Marek September 05, 2012
(Crain's) — CME Group Inc.'s August volume declined 40 percent compared to the same month last year as low interest rates and recent market debacles carved into futures trading.
The CME volume declines occurred in most contract types, with a 41 percent drop in interest rate contract trading and a 58 percent decline in equity index contracts. The exception was in agricultural commodity contracts, where there was a 2 percent rise. Open outcry trading fell more than the electronic trading and was less than half the volume last year.
