Yet another very light volume session with a dead flat opening hour. The futures eventually headed up to fill the gap and the ES did. There was a perfect Value Area setup on the NQ, but it didn’t trigger. We ended up trading average daily range on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares and closed mid-range.
Net ticks: -11 ticks.
