Contract: Mini Dow
Result: No Trade (went short after the number)
Prior: 54.7
Expected: 54
Actual: 55
I didn’t trade the number, I just watched to see what the market was going to do. As the dow made a double top on the 2min chart I went short at the top of the 30min opening range and rode it down to the bottom of the opening range. You can watch the trade live in the video.

Pair: Euro Futures
Result: No Trade
Prior: 88K (revised to 80K)
Expected: 131K
Actual: 157K
A small deviation of 26K, so a no trade for me. I wanted to see 50K deviation for a small position and 70K deviation for a larger position. The ES and YM moved more than the currency futures.
