The volatility that has so often frustrated contract positioning and signal clarity in this recent period of 1st Frame action has been so remarkably well counter-matched by afternoon Trade Concept fruition as to tempt giving up the 1st Frame altogether in favor of late MidDay Frame opportunities.   Today, a rare 5th Substitute Sequent signal in the MNQ (with only a bit of sloppy overage) provided such a clean and immediate payoff as to only have been in the position 4 minutes before minimum targets were attained, aka Trading the Curves.
