Thanks Ryan - I think you're totally right that there's really no black and white answer. I am using the basic rule of thumb that I use eth vwap until about 9:30 cst and then rth vwap thereafter....

eth vs rth vwap

(posted this q in wrong thread before....)

I have a question about using the eth vwap vs rth vwap. In my limited experience it seems that the eth vwap and its deviations provides reference levels...

Well, all I can say for myself is that at least I'm not fading this down move.

After we failed at the open again I got out of longs and then shorted when we retested rth vwap from the bottom. BUT...

Bouncing hard like that off the vpoc from yesterday and then retesting but staying within today's dval makes a strong argument for a test of the HOD. But the price action is so rotational that it...

Great job letting go of the idea the market was going lower. Pretty clear day IMO (although I wish my execution was better). I'm curious why you thought that was a sloppy entry, I thought the market...

Please do - your analysis is always helpful. So far today we have an open drive, pushing above a key level at 89.30 and we've already pushed into the gap as well. I have that 90.14 as "a" bracket...

Sure is potential for a squeeze up here with all this volume at the highs. Probably a lot of stops above 90.00 and there's a reference level at 90.14.

They'll probably try to scare the shorts just long enough so you poop your pants and then it'll drop like a rock. :)

Nice Ryan - I don't have the balls to short these open drives but I think its a good trade. Profile looks like short covering - that could weaken the market enough to make this trade work. Plus a big...

Great job being patient and waiting for the reference level to initiate a trade. I also had to watch that whole move down without participating. However I was not as confident when price got to...

Location of your VWAP modification?

Hey greenr - can you post a link to the download location for your modification of FT's vwap? I have a terrible time trying to find indicators on futures.io (formerly BMT). Thanks!!

Just to offer another opinion: I stopped following this thread because of all the real time trade calling. The analysis (whether before or after the fact) is more helpful to me personally.

OK - I think this is one last shot by longs that will fail below 90.50. So I'm looking for a short-term price pattern like a double top (double failure) to get short again into the close. I'm going...

I'm looking at this gaping LVA from 90.30 to 89.70 and wondering if that's going to factor into today. We're pretty oversold relative to the weekly VWAP but still have lots of room on the daily.
