Different Markets for Day trading

Different market, different trading environments

Each market has different personality, different behavior along with different times of the day when it is most active. If you are finding that the ES ( mini SP) is not giving you enough risk/opportunities then start monitoring a couple of other markets and perhaps explore them in demo / simulated mode.
There are more than a few markets I think are suitable for day-trading. Below you will find some observations, tips along with what is unique about these markets, personality and most active trading hours.

2. Hot Market: E-Mini S&P Sees Profit Taking But Bulls Still Strong

From our friend Jim Wyckoff at JimWyckoff.com

The e-mini S&P stock index futures hit a contract and record high earlier this week. Some normal profit-taking pressure has set in, but the bulls still possess the strong overall near-term technical advantage, to suggest prices can still trend sideways to higher in the near term. Two early technical warning signals that the U.S. stock indexes have topped out would be: two big down days in a row, or a bearish weekly low close on a Friday.
