There is an imposter account @TendexCapitaI attempting to be me using a capital "i" instead of "L". Please report!

I will NEVER solicit you or spout nonsense about crypto.

And hoping to get active again soon; just been tied down w/ some efforts requiring my full attention.

[Tendex @TendexCapital]

@cryptojoggy Yeah, a scammer using an uppercase “i” instead of an L. Trying to get removed (pls report)…but it’s anyone’s guess as to how many are left to man the desks now at TWTR to handle the “fake/knock-off accounts”.

[Tendex @TendexCapital]

@stig1985 Thanks man. Had another child recently and have been largely disengaged with most other things at the moment. I’ll be back in front of the screens soon though hopefully.

[Tendex @TendexCapital]

@jmaldo1024 It’s a measure of delta or orderflow change. I don’t use it much, it was just something I experimented with and it keeps my charts clean so I’ve left it.

[Tendex @TendexCapital]

See that large offer in the orderflow? Delta is mixed, but very large size is selling, NQ is relatively weak, but #ES_F strong, it's option expiry ... on and on ...

Sometimes the best mode of action in trading is just to find what's working and then keep it simple, stupid. #KISS

Equity futures rollover continues in high gear today with #ES_F pace of roll just over 70% complete as we enter the Tuesday RTH session.

Keep in mind that all orderflow, delta, volume and related futures data will be affected by the roll and therefore less reliable.

Rollover in equity indices kicks into full-gear this week; #ES_F roll currently stands at ~40% complete, well below the typical ~70% completion rates that are common going into Monday of roll week.

Note the CME recently made technical changes to the ES roll date.

[Tendex @TendexCapital]

@HF_Trader CME has only applied new front roll date (Mon) to ES, but not to the other equity indices—which is dumb; needs uniformity. That's a technicality, but the underlying dynamics seem to be the same: actual roll heaviest on Fri/Mon. For now, ES roll factor=Fri settle; others Wed SETL.
