The market usually has a clear Always In direction between 8 am and 10 am (PST), which usually leads to a swing that lasts for two or more hours and often a trend for the rest of the day. The intraday report is only available to logged-in members until after the market close when it is opened to all.<\/p>\n<p>My goal with the intraday market update is to let ES traders know my opinion of the trend early enough for them to place swing trades. Many days are trading range days, and knowing that is important as well because then traders will be more confident selling in the top third and buying in the bottom third of the day&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n<p>The Emini intraday market update is for Members only until after the close when it will be available to everyone. Members can look for the update post just after 6:20am (PST).<\/p>\n<p>I often refer to bar numbers instead of times. There are 81 bars on the 5 minute chart each day. When I refer to time, I use PST (Pacific Standard Time). Since I am usually also placing trades in my own accounts at these times, I have to type the update quickly. This means I may sometimes use abbreviations (see below). However, I will try to avoid abbreviations to make the report easier to read by others who are also busy trading at the saem time.<\/p>\n<p>You can view the latest Emini update reports here: <a title=\"Intraday Market Updates\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/blog\/market-update\/\">Intraday market updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Traders can see the end of the day <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookspriceaction.com\/profile.php?mode=profil&amp;sub=profile_prefer&amp;mod=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bar-by-bar report by signing up<\/a> for free at BrooksPriceAction.com.
