Any chance everybody could weigh in on what kinds of things suggest a gap down or a gap up? Here is an idea. I'll take the ideas and research them and publish the results here or to just our registered users. If the work is any good, maybe TT will get more registered users. It would take me about two weeks. I use daily and tick data for the S&P 500 back to 1990. I prefer regular trading hours, but I do the analysis based on the member ideas. I think I have Russell 2000 and Nasdaq 100 back to maybe 1997. I lean towards the use of statistical analysis rather than charts because chart interpretation is in the eye of the beholder. I am serious. Let's try it and see if we can benefit. Rick

Watching the bb squeezes on the dailies and expecting a bit of viciousness any old day now.. If they resolve right in here, they resolve down.

It could have been a vicious gap up, I wouldn't have cared. I just like seeing unsuspecting traders get whipsawed

Whether we gap down or gap up....I'm very worried. Normally I don't like to be called a bear or a bull....but right now......I'm more ursine than I was at the July top.... FXI hit a number of mine today ....NIKK could pick up steam to the downside tonight as I think it put in a B wave top the other day and Nav's take on India sounded all too familiar. ...and on our side....besides xbd,bkx, tran....I've got some internal measures that are off the charts and flashing "WARNING".......not to mention a pretty bearish count that I have confidence in (what ever that's worth) There...got that off my chest.....

Yes, everything looks very fragile, unless the daily, weekly, monthly momentum was just an illusion, the market is ready to tank seriously.

This guy is definitely enjoying the show though!

BTW, despite the larger and larger volatility over the past few days, the IV went down today. There is not much serious sellers out there and the market knows, otherwise I would've expected the IV to go up, especially after today's action, I think at least a short term low migth be in...
